User blog comment:TylerSurvivorFan/What If Ella Received All the Hate?/@comment-5837886-20141031224752

It would be a really hard task to dislike Ella if it's possible. I suppose it's because, while I do find Sugar humorous and likable, Ella is more friendly and respectable. As for Sugar, take Trina Riffin from Grojband, take away her diary powers, double her weight, give her yellow hair, replace her face with a more unappealing face, turn her into a glutton with the stereotypical "fat people burp and fart a lot" business, and, if necessary, remove Trina's relatability and backstory and you get Sugar. I didn't bother with the whole Trina-Corey thing because the Sugar-Ella thing is fairly similar sans family relationship.

Then again, it is possible that some opinions have differed from the initial reaction since opinions are a bit more... developed.
