I think maybe you feel that way because there's a BIG difference between rage at a stupid/awful plot development or canon character derailment or a missed opportunity or a steady decline in quality, and literally just plain not liking the source material and thinking the show/book/whatever is worthless. In fact, they're almost polar opposites. No one would rage at a canonical work that they disliked through and through -- people usually rage at stuff that is part-"stuff they love" and part-"stuff they hate that happened instead of something better that would have fit with the stuff they love".

tl;dr -- hating Thing X about Show Y is totally different from hating Show Y, and while dissing Thing X and writing fic to fix it is awesome, dissing Show Y just pisses fans off.

AYRT

Yeah but my suspicion is that the comments OP is describing are more likely to come form that kind of mixed-up love-hate place than pure dislike, because people who feel pure dislike for the canon aren't likely to be reading fic for it in the first place, and the fannish expression of lovehate tends to devolve simply to hate because, if you're in the fandom, the love part goes without saying.
