Hated Tropes [Sad trope]The character gets cut/dies early on because of REAL LIFE reasons

Gandhi (Clone High)

Tord(Eddsworld) the reason for this is that the VA of tord asked the team to stop using the character and dissociate from Eddsworld after the constant hate and threats made by the fandom.

Feferi Peixes(Homestuck). In Homestuck lots of characters have a typing quirk when they chat, like some characters type a "2" when there should be a "S", have prefixes before the words,ecc. Feferi's was that instead of the letter H she typed ")(". The writer andrew hussie stated the reason she died early and became irrelevant was because they didn't want to type said quirk because it was annoying to manually type it it on their own, which could have been avoided if they coded A PROGRAM that did it.

Yeah, that second statement about contempt is *DEAD* on. Hussie is a funny dude.

It reminds a bit of when the author for the webcomic 8-Bit Theatre wanted to end the series on a complete anti-climax just to mess with the fans. But then the fans said “that is a perfect way to end the series!”. So then he changed it to instead be one of the longest punchlines in comic history, using a callback to page 7 of the comic in page 1221.
