A large chunk of the fandom seems to regard Mai as the incarnation of all evil, presumably because she's paired with Zuko in canon.
I feel that this is slim grounds for hating a character who exudes as much awesome as does Mai. She's got a strong character arc, great development (especially for someone who's essentially a second tier character), interesting motivations, and a tendency not to coddle people.
