For us personally, we feel like a lot of the hate Clockwork gets is due to how she got shipped with Toby a lot, since Toby fangirls didn't like it. Especially with how Toby and Clockwork's creators went about the shipping. Same thing with Nina the killer or other female creepypastas that were canonically with or very often shipped with male characters who had lots of fangirls. We understand disliking her story, but the reasoning for hating her (and other female characters) is often either misogynistic or otherwise unjustified.
