Honesty I don't think much about it anymore cause it has decreased by such a HUGE margin from just a few years ago. Honestly to each their own in the end!
I just say it is a waste to dislike any character cause your limiting yourself in engaging in new and interesting characters and stories, but really to each their own.

I don't hate Scarlet Witch. I hate what writers and artists do to Rogue when Wanda comes around.
Now imo i believe it is her fault to a certain point. You would thing after the first or couple of times that happened you would think to find a way or find someone who can help temper her will to fight off such possession. Don't possession only works/fails depending on the wills of the individual and assailant? I could be wrong, but I'm sure it has something to do with corrupting weak wills or desires. hmmmmm
Oh you are not one at all my friend and your concern is valid, but going further I don't like using thee term haters anymore or at least as much as I can cause it is to divisive and limiting to true general concerns over characters and I rather engage is respective discussions on a respectful level.

I hate Wanda but I love to hate her.
Then I think that You will be happy because Jim spoiled some things about Rogue in next issue. I don't think that she will have time for Wanda.
but that's only my prediction
What about Rogue and Sunfire/Wonderman?
We are talking about comics
Some themes are eternal
I can see why that would frustrate some readers but to be fair I think Rick remender is the only writer who wrote them together and he as you stated would constantly try and make Anna and Wanda get into confrontations and fights with each other instead of trying to have both characters work together as a team, hopefully though Jim zub will do a better job writing both characters in the series then what Rick remender did.
No where in my post did i say i won't read UA because of SW, please don't assume. I read this book bc of Rogue and some other characters. I can say what i want about the book just as much as anyone else who buys it. Besides its my opinion how I feel about a certain character/s. Do I hate her, no, I just think she belongs somewhere else.
What happens is that in individual stories, the writers try to show her as strong but collectively, it makes her look weak. There are stories where she fights off the possession, or does not actually lose control (in the Morgan Le Fey story she was fully conscious and her will was strong enough to set the other Avengers free from brainwashing). But it adds up to a pattern of her looking like she's easily-controlled and not concerned enough about the potential consequences of getting controlled.
Mind you, her sometime-husband Vision is even easier to control; not only did he spend this whole last event mind-controlled like her, but one of his first acts as an Avenger was to rebuild Ultron out of adamantium because Ultron programmed it into him, he took over the world in the '80s, etc. There's probably a bit of a double standard in that so many of her stories about how weak and unstable she is. But at least Vision's instability and creepy obsession with family made for a great story, which Wanda really hasn't had yet.
It's complicated honestly her becoming possessed by Chthon was obviously not her fault despite the fact that the demon Chthon has always more or less been a major part in how Wanda drew her magic from but the possession itself that took place in secret empire though was entirely against her will and was forced upon her.
