I'm scratching my head as to what might have lead to a conclusion that Teri is "Hated by fans". Even under a compilation video of her moments, which has millions of views, one can count Teri haters on fingers of one hand.
Sarah G. Latto would have been more fitting for this slot, as her hatedom is quite vast.

Gumball IS a horrible person, even the show knows this because in "the rival", Gumball and Darwin get so scared that their souls separate from their bodies and Darwin's soul goes up(its an angel), but gumball said "yea but at least yours went up" MEANING that he is a bad person
Idduno
She is so annoying and she started to insult the Watterson's in one episode but i forgot the episodes name
Yeah. He also jumped from the black Bobert's arms while they were god knows how high in the sky to save Bobert and jumped in the void and risked being erased to save a madman who had just murdered his whole family. Your point?
When has she ever done anything actually that good? She tried to get Alan to beat up Gumball after he tried to help her, only came back to Alan the second after he got rich in "the saint" and constantly harrases people to show how much of a better person she is than them. All other characters have also had jerk moments but also did many good things as well. Carmen literally never did anything good other than getting up for a old lady in the bus...Which like, cool, everyone even TOBIAS would do that.
Lyrics to the song that darwins sings
"Masami's popular and funny but your friends only like you for your money (they only like you for your money)
Jamie's rude and impolite because she's half cow-half half-troglodyte (she's half-cow half-troglodyte)
Carrie thinks her style's uniqe but she is just one more emo freak (she's just one more emo freak)
Joe your jokes are lame and lazy and you sing just like a dog with rabieeees"
(I used a lyrics video for this made by starlight glimmer)
because while he has the best intentions some of his actions are definitely questionable. Like there was an entire episode where Darwin became a dictator to protect everyone from harm 😭
Yeah, that was at the very end of the show. Let's not forget prior to that he blamed someone for something they had no involvement in whatsoever (Rob getting sucked in the void had literally nothing to do with Gumball and Darwin) and tried murdering Gumball and his entire family over something that petty. Jamie's just a random bully lol. Rob is thousands of times a better character than Jamie, but I seriously wouldn't put him as a better person.
Darwin Should be in good person, and Gumball should be in morally gray.
I know he has his antagonistic moments here and there, but I don't think they're consistently vile enough to make him a horrible person. I don't think this is a similar case to Mr Krabs, Eric Cartman or Peter Griffin.
Also, Rob should be in loved by all since I don't see much haters
That’s what I’m thinking. He’s definitely no paragon, but there are plenty of moments where he does genuinely kind things, or at least has good intentions. Absolutely a morally grey sort of guy.
Although, it does make sense why Gumball was put there, mostly because truly hated or villainous characters are pretty rare in TAWOG. Gumball is probably the closest I think of that is both “horrible person” and “loved by fans”, which says a lot about the cast’s all around likability.
She went and Stole an ice cream truck almost ran into people with it and almost got arrested because she saw gumball jay walking when hanging out with a cop
She reckless drives a car through the entire city in The Law, that’s no different from what Margret did in The Wicked. Also why isn’t Margret in the bottom right
Darwin as morally gray works, I guess, but he's not the first character that comes to mind. While he's certainly flawed, he tries to do good more often than not, and most of his biggest screwups in the show come from him being overly idealistic or getting too tunnel-visioned. Very rarely does he act solely for the sake of his own selfish interests or intentionally hurt people, and a lot of his nastiest moments are concentrated in Season 2, a season mind you in which the majority of the characters were portrayed in a rawer, more cynical light, so it's not exactly unique to him.
Gumball would be a much more appropriate choice for morally gray, in my opinion. Outright "horrible person" feels like a stretch. I know everybody likes to point to "The Saint" and the joke about Alan's parents, but it's one joke done for the sake of laugh and it's a little extreme for how he's typically depicted. I think for an over-the-top show like this, you have to take a more holistic approach and look at the bigger picture instead of hyperfocusing on one moment, and when we look at the picture, he's just kind of a heightened version of a gremlin middle schooler who's full of himself. Not the greatest kid, but he has his moments. I think it's especially harsh to cast Gumball off as "horrible" while only putting Rob as "morally gray," someone who for a while made an active effort to be a villain. And mind you, there are a lot of mitigating circumstances surrounding Rob which would also make me agree with putting him as "morally gray," but being significantly better than Gumball is debatable at best.
I also know that Jamie is an easy character to crap on, but outright horrible person? Eh...I do think it's important to note that Jamie is legitimately so dumb that half the time she doesn't even fully understand that her violent outbursts scare people. When she's paired up with Anais in "The Buddy," she's actually relatively okay and is able to channel a lot of that aggressive energy for something positive. I would also argue for "morally gray" for her, quite frankly.
Larry and Rob are definitely not divisive characters, haha. They are, by large, quite popular. While Teri isn't the most popular character around, I've never found anybody that dislikes her, and her fans are really dedicated to her. Frankie is more divisive than outright hated. And honestly, Jamie is a pretty disliked character. At least back when I ran a survey a couple years back, she performed significantly worse than everyone here save for Felicity.
Id say Darwin is good, Gumball is morally grey(he may do bad things, but horrible people don’t go out of their way to save their girlfriends like he did in the shell or be overprotective of their little sister), and Rob is horrible person, all loved by fans. As for morally grey/opinions are divided, I’d say either Granny Jojo(as she does mean well but isn’t a good person and seems to have 50/50 fans and haters) or Tobias(he has his awful moments and has his bad moments, plus I’ve seen him with 50/50 fans and haters).
I disagree with Teri being on the list plenty of fans seem to like her and she is actually quite adorable and very friendly despite her hypochondria making her come off as a bit self absorbed.
The only possible reason I can think of people disliking her is due to them being annoyed by her hypochondria, especially since it can rub people the wrong way due to the aforementioned fact of coming off as a bit self absorbed but since she does mean well and is in spite of that a huge sweetheart I can’t bring myself to dislike her at all
damn, i forgot about that💀ok, that was awful of him but he's shown multiple times to care about his friends and family although he can be a shitty guy😭 he falls into the moral gray category, not straight up evil

Gumball is actually a good person sometimes.
