She had the odds stacked against her from the get go. The promotional image (and lack of information) had everyone dubbing her the 'witchblade girl' or 'bug girl' which was added to the pile of dislikes people were throwing at the two early promo images.
That was the first bit.
The second bit came when she appeared on page; a snarling non-vocal girl that appeared to be quite powerful whenever she wasn't on the page (see how she took down the police squad cornering the Titans after the tangle with Superboy? No? Well no one else did either.) And the last bit came when we got to see what she was like when she changed back; in one word: angry.
So while she disappeared during the Culling and no one seemed to notice, people seemed rather glad (except that they then just got annoyed that no one noticed, since this was the same thing that happened to Kid Eternity).
The original premise, of the psychic-vulnerable Skitter being led away by the very psychic Raven, made sense to me. Since with Skitter evil Raven would then have a means to get onto the team by returning with one of their friends. But they settled with Beastboy instead.
