I don't think that murderstuck was just to kill off characters Hussie didn't like. Where I got the impression that Hussie didn't like characters like Tavros is the fact that these characters seemed well written, but after a while, got annoying to read, even if the character is still likable. Tavros was a very enjoyable, endearing character when he was first introduced, but later on his entire personality became being annoying. And then he becomes a shitty device to move the story along when he just shows up with an army for vriska, does a few dances, and then gives up his entire control over it, which he's barely credited for.

I could be wrong, but to me towards the end, it just felt like some of the characters were written to be unlikable even when they weren't.
