Stan's hatred has started to grow lately within the past year because of how he and Peter are now essentially the same character intelligence wise. Roger actually does have a section dedicated to him on the Scrappy page with the first line stating that he is viewed as this by people who don't think he's funny or used to think he was funny but only in the first few seasons (I'm on the latter).

Agreed. And whenever they try to do an episode focused on Klaus lately (2010 - Present), it always turns out terrible due to bad writing (Dr. Klaustus and Da Flippity Flop are the only two episodes thus far since 2010 where he is the main focus and they are both awful). So far, the most attention Klaus has gotten this season is being the focus of the subplot for Scents and Sensei-bility. And sadly, it was so bad (it painted everyone involved including Klaus himself in a negative light) that it destroyed and ruined the entire episode (which would've been OK otherwise despite being a Steve centric main plot)!

On the tropes page for this show, Depending on the Writer mentions that the main rules for Stan are that "he tries to keep his country and his family safe" and "he can't be unlikable". Pretty much goes back to what I've said before about them being extremely deluded if they still think he does any of those well because he doesn't.

Honestly, both shows are pretty much interchangeable in terms of how bad they've gotten. Only difference is that I still at least watch American Dad! while I'm considering skipping Season 6 of Total Drama (whenever it comes out) depending on if a certain character who shouldn't have existed to begin with is brought back.
