Loathsome Characters Wiki is a wiki on Miraheze that documents the reasons why a fictional character is or was poorly-received. It was a part of Qualitipedia before being kicked off the network.

Why It's Loathsome Itself

  1. The type section on the infoboxes used on the characters' descriptions in some pages use rather insulting descriptions[1], which makes the pages look hateful as well as nullifying the purpose of a reception wiki, which such wikis are supposed to be about criticism and not hate.
  2. Some pages aren't that well written.[2]
    • Speaking of which, just like any other reception wiki, some of the pointers don't make any sense into contributing why a character is hated (e.g. Using the character's appearance in a controversial part of a story as a flaw).
  3. There was an overweight characters category on the wiki, which is fat shaming.[3] Thankfully, the category got deleted.
  4. There are tons of unnessacary categories such as "Characters that killed careers" "Characters who should be in prison" "Characters who should be fired from their job" etc. The biggest offender is the so-called Karma Houdini category.

Redeeming Qualities

  1. There were actually some pages on the wiki that are good, such as the Velma page.
  2. Speaking of categories, some nonsensical categories are thankfully being removed.
