From what I've seen Astrid is only hated upon because of Mericcup. And as a Mericcup shipper, that bothers me a lot. :/ I'm ok with shipping non-canon but I think canon shipping deserve respect, even if the story is about a rival pairing. ;-; Some people have other reasons for hating Astrid/Hiccstrid (eg. They think the pairing wasn't developed enough or they think Astrid wasn't a likable character), and that's alright, but other than that, yeah. Mostly because of Mericcup.
