On this subject, I think Scrappy in general needs to be cleaned up: it seems like the entry has degenerated into any character that anyone has, at any point in time, a reason to dislike, as opposed to a character who generates widespread, consistent dislike. By the logic I have seen some characters added on here with, \'\'Batman\'\' is a scrappy, as there are plenty of people who hate that he\'s always prepared, seldom wrong, wins most of his fights despite being physically weaker than most of the rest of the cast. Characters that people actually like, like Bender and Cartman, become scrappies, because you can find a group of people who dislike how they were portrayed in several episodes.

On this subject, I think Scrappy in general needs to be cleaned up: it seems like the entry has degenerated into any character that anyone has, at any point in time, a reason to dislike, as opposed to a character who generates widespread, consistent dislike, and adds nothing to the story. By the logic I have seen some characters added on here with, \\\'\\\'Batman\\\'\\\' is a scrappy, as there are plenty of people who hate that he\\\'s always prepared, seldom wrong, wins most of his fights despite being physically weaker than most of the rest of the cast. Characters that people actually like, like Bender and Cartman, become scrappies, because you can find a group of people who dislike how they were portrayed in several episodes. I think there\\\'s something to be said for \\\"no/few redeeming qualities\\\" in a Scrappy candidate. If they\\\'re dislikable, but they add something tangible to the plot, they\\\'re probably not a scrappy. If they\\\'re dislikable, and they\\\'re not really adding anything to the plot, but they wind up in it anyway, then they\\\'re probably in Scrappy territory.
