unhateable

Cannot be despised

Someone or something unhateable is so likable, charming, or endearing that disliking them feels impossible.

The word often carries a note of reluctant affection—you might want to resent someone, but they're just too unhateable: He's annoyingly successful but somehow unhateable.
