Don't forget the fact that the careers joyfully volunteer for the games, and then have the cowardice to gang up on the youngest and weakest. I would have loved it if Collins had made me sympathize with them, but she made it kind of impossible.

Also, Katniss did have a limited amount of compassion for those tributes so I'm not sure where this debate even comes from.

it cracks me up when people say shit like this and then act like the hunger games was a well-written series

Subjectivity. There are plenty of people who sympathize with those characters; I just didn't.

You don't seem to understand how first person POV works. Of course Katniss does not like the careers - they're coming in a pack to kill her. Of course she does not sympathize with them. We do not have some omniscient narrator to point out that 'blah blah Cato had an unhappy childhood, woe'.

In the story that she's telling, there isn't time to get to know these people, nor does Katniss want to burden herself with emotional connections to them when it's going to come down to a death struggle.

None of that makes it bad writing. Maybe the story she told just isn't to your tastes. That doesn't mean that those who enjoyed it are just "act[-ing] like the hunger games was a well-written series."
