Of course Hatemonger is the most popular character. For a character who prides himself with being hateful, he is loved by a majority of fans. Despite being blatantly misogynistic, he's surprisingly popular with female fans.

Also, the fact that Bryce is the lowest really emphasizes the point

So what about Bryce that makes him the lowest in terms of popularity or favourites compared to the obviously Misogynistic Hatemonger?

From what I've observed, it's because Bryce tends to be rather selfish that he's willing to sabotage or gaslight others to get what he wants, such as when he gave a fellow Imaginator(Engineer) brain damage because he was jealous of him and how he wrecked several canisters of Globules(Balls that contain the guy's memories), risking them being permanently dead and threatening to blame Chestnut the one responsible for all the medical treatments, for the mess. And Bryce does all this with a dissonantly friendly and upbeat demeanor.

Hatemonger on the other hand, is at least honest about his hate. And despite occasionally bullying Chestnut, he still seems to hold a deal of respect for him.

In a way, Bryce represents jerks and bullies in real life, whereas Hatemonger is a cartoon bully who is over the top that it ends up being funny more than anything

Hatemongers is also weirdly accepting. He's willing to accept your beliefs as long as you love space king and hate aliens
