They probably know how popular she is and hate her just for that. She's so popular so she must be crap if she's mainstream. They probably think that popular artists in Japan are like popular artists in the US - in general, not much content. I'm sure not a single one has ever listened to and Jpop (as opposed to JRock). JPop and Ayu aren't like the junk that we tolerate in the US most of the time. They're not bubblegum pop idols. Jpop has content and isn't just cheesy pop, although that does exist in JPop of course, but Ayu isn't that way.
A lot of people also dislike her for popping out single after single. If they come out that fast they must suck right? She must be nothing more than a corporate slave right? Of course if they'd take the time to listen to some music of hers or read some lyrics, or even, god forbid, an interview with her, then they's know its not the case. Although, its really easy to just assume things and dislike something because of that, I'm guilty of that and I think a lot of people are.
Its one thing for people to have opinon, they can dislike Ayu all they want, if they don't listen to her and say that, it bugs me a little bit, but for them to sit there and talk about physical violence towards her KNOWING that you like her, that's complete BS.
