As the Twelfth Doctor probably said, "Hate is always foolish – unless it's directed at this lot."

In his regeneration speech, the Twelfth Doctor observed that "hate is always foolish." And while those are certainly inspiring words to live by, we're just not there yet, especially when you consider the shower of hateable Doctor Who (https://screenrant.com/tag/doctor-who/) characters we've encountered over the past 60 years.
And we don't mean characters you love to hate either. Yes, Davros is a xenophobic and genocidal maniac, but he's exceptional value for money. Adric is punchably smug and irritating, but after more than 40 years, we can chalk it up to youthful insecurity.
We're talking about characters who are completely and utterly irredeemably terrible. Characters so annoying that you can't understand why the Doctor wants to save their lives. Characters so vile that you're bitterly disappointed when they don't get their comeuppance. Characters so awful that you punch the air when they get bumped off at the end.
Yes, "hate is always foolish", but these Doctor Who (https://www.cbr.com/tag/doctor-who/) characters make a pretty good case for "hate is sometimes wise, actually."
But no, seriously, we're not talking about Adric. Adam Mitchell on the other hand...
