I never understood the hate for Scrappy. When I was a kid, I considered him my favorite character.
I didn't know Scrappy hate was a thing until TV Tropes.
The internet has an amazing ability to take something minor and turn it into The Worst Thing Ever%u2122.
Nah he was hated. A lot of characters like him (a new 'trendy' fad-like character inserted into an established show to try and make it popular again) were hated. It was pretty common in the 80's IIRC.
Is that why The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochy Show never caught on?
Heh yep. That episode was totally a spoof of characters like Scrappy.
IIRC Married with Children had a similar dweeb people didn't like.
And Cousin Oliver on The Brady Bunch.
Roy on The Simpsons was also a stab at this.
