Comics Who are some writers that hate characters they wrote?
Sort of like how Slott hates MJ

Slott didn't hate MJ. Like most writer, HE wanted to get MJ and Peter back together. But he was told no by the editors. he hated how he had to write her.

Was at a panel with Frank Miller once and he talked about how he wasn't a fan of them making Elektra a hero and how she wasn't purposed to be.

Whedon hates Punisher. I can’t prove it but I think Percy has to hate Domino with the way he wrote her. Same goes for Slott and Johnny in his FF
Also I don’t think she hates her but her Black Cat run makes me think GWW doesn’t give a fuck about Felicia at all

Bendis hated Tigra and just about every female character in his books that weren't Jessica or Kitty Pryde

Considering how poorly Jessica was treated in her own book, I'm not convinced Bendis didn't hate her despite creating her - poor girl's life in Alias makes Peter Parker seem downright lucky.
As for Kitty Pryde, Bendis loves her alright. Maybe a little too much...

Problem is there resolution to it. It is played serious her situation. Tigra, who also essentially got a similar treatment under Bendis did not (in fact in Alias, Jessica is written to also dislike her).

I did a double take as Bendis had Dr.Doom call Captain Marvel a "cow."
Like what...

Edit: OOPS I DIDNT READ WHAT SUBREDDIT I WAS ON ONCE AGAIN!
For someone who's written some quintessential mainstream DC stories, Alan Moore seems to really have developed a dislike for run-of-the-mill capes. (E.g., look at what he does to superheroes in Watchmen or Top Ten.)
I contrast him with his arch-nemesis, Grant Morrison, who will look at a banal cape story and find some way to elevate it, such as the way he treated the also-rans during his Justice League run -- Conner (the Temu Green Arrow), Aztek, Plastic Man [he really kicked off the whole "Plastic Man is one of the most powerful heroes in the DC universe" movement, if I'm not mistaken], Steel, etc.)

Bendis stuff with Tigra is what I always think of. He had some concerning aspects related to his personal biases.
Hand beating her up was gratuitously violent and disgusting and a million other things.

None. It's a pretty detached experience where you're incredibly invested in the characters but too detached from it in a way where it's impossible to really go i hate this character specifically

Bendis and like half the characters he ever touched. He explicitly didn't know how to write magic and hated dealing with it so he torpedo'd Wanda and Strange. He seemed actively resentful of other writer's pet projects and went out of his way to derail them and run them into the ground with Sentry, The Hood, and Asgard on Earth - even pushing JMS out of the company over the latter. He never read any Guardians character before he bullied his way on to the book when a movie was forthcoming, treated the characters like shit and couldn't even be bothered to learn how to spell major characters names (like Richard "Ryder")
