I think that the majority of the fandom are in love with Tesla - not a big surprise: he's a snarky, geeky, intellectually brilliant white male...
Think Rodney McKay as a vampire and better with people.
And, like most visual minority female characters, Kate doesn't get much storyline and when she does, it tends to be questionably presented. Which then means people don't write her, which then means that nobody takes an interest...
So, yeah, Kate is probably the fandom's least-favoured character. It's like Teyla - sure, people like her (or they say they do), but that doesn't translate into action: they don't write about her.
