Maybe some kind of bug or bird pokemon that wraps it's wings around itself like a cloak and can set them on fire?
Fire/Bug. I don't think that's a common combination if it exists at all.
Well yeah it does exist. Volcarona remember?
It's a bit hard to come up with another type it can have an advantage of due the fact that there's not much the bugs in general strong over.
I mostly just want Fairy to taste the horribly bitter medicine of what it has done to the Dragon-type, so Fairy being weak against Bug is the perfect way to do that. Plus, any buff to Bug is greatly appreciated since it's one of the most underused types.
The only thing Fairy did was balance out an overpowered type. Dragons are still plenty useful and plenty strong, particularly considering most of them are physical attackers while most fairies focus on special defense. I don't see why you're so bitter.
Maybe it's it's because I've been exposed to plenty of humanoid anime monsters in games growing up, but I never had any issues for fictional monsters that can be anything looking humanoid.

Do I need to emphasize why Xerneas is one of the most used Pokemon to explain why I hate the Fairy-type so much? As for Bug, having it get a buff would definitely help it get more uses, especially if it counters a type that's used to counter types that appeared a lot.
I never said that. You think I can't notice the Blaziken and Infernape aren't pretty much the same? But despite that comment, Every starter including the fires has had unique traits in design, from looks, to abilities and so forth. Fighting isn't in particular the main theme for those, it's more so thei styles of fighting that makes them unique. For example, Blaziken is a tae kwon do fighter, a kicker. And thank's to it's kicking it has powerful legs, so they themed it around speed, hence speed boost ability. Infernape, muy thai fighter. Uses all part of his limbs to fight, but due to being a monkey, has plenty of arm strength. The arm strength is translated to punching, hence the Iron Fist ability it gets. Emoboar, sumo wrestler, focuses on it's bulk and weight. Therefore he has high HP cause it durability due to it's bulk. Hence why it gets weight based moves, as well as the reckless ability due to it's bulk. (Though one would question why it didn't get higher defenses but whateves). Incineroar, heel wrestler, likes to fight rough and cheat (despite learning little cheating based moves) has a simple style of just hitting and slamming something as brutally as possible. And due to it's muscly body it can take hits and dish them. You see, people may just think the fires being fighters it copy pasting, but they still have their own unique traits that's incorporated in it's design that makes it work uniquely and functionally.
If you wanna talk Xerneas, I'll counter with Mega Rayquaza.
If the problem with Fairy is that it appears often because Dragon appears often, why don't you hate the Dragon type?
Because compared to Dragon-types, only a select few of Fairy-types keep appearing often in battles, making online battles too monotone, just seeing the same Pokemon dominating. The problem may have died down a little in Gen 7, it's still a common problem. However, my main problem with it is that Fairy is immune to Dragon, I would've been fine if Fairy resisted Dragon, but being immune to the moves is overkill if you ask me.
