I very much doubt that. I was actually LOOKING for positive in Tess, trying to find SOMETHING worthwhile or likable in her. Love for Max? It wasn't there.

Except your ship is evil.

"Alone"? Wow, I think that's a DEFINITE example of a simplification.

Not so clearly as a little while later. And from the beginning she provided plenty reason to dislike her other than her threat to Max/Liz.

Certainly not necessarily themselves. People often aren't aware of their real feelings and motivations and can also fool or confuse themselves, etc. While sometimes other people can see it better from the outside. Well established principle of human nature. And one of the reasons I'm massively into painstaking and merciless self-examination, something which most people quite simply arent.
So no, I don't think it necessarily makes it so just because they say so. Particularly considering how fashionable it is for fans to make a big show of hating characters who threaten their favorite ships. Less fashionable, less stereotypical, reasons for hating a character can fall between the cracks.

I think it makes zero sense to ship a character one doesn't like.
