At this point, there isn't much about Blake to hate. Even during her trailer, we see that the reason she left the WF was because she couldn't stand to see innocent people being hurt because of her. Then she manages to break up a fight between Weiss and Ruby before it goes to far, then she sort of disappears for awhile before getting into a fight with Weiss ( who hasn't, am I right? *raises hand for high five* ) and running off, only to redeem herself by helping stop the WF and reconciling with her team.

People try and defend Weiss the same way; she had a troubled childhood, her father was mean to her, and she wasn't picked as a leader. That is all well and good, but it doesn't change the fact that for most of Volume 1, she is either fighting with someone or acting like a b**** to everyone around her. This is even worse when you look at the past of some of the other characters and they could have had it just as hard if not worse:
 * Ruby's mother is dead (she may have seen this happen based on the songs)
 * Blake grew up facing the reality that she is considered less of a person because of what she is and left a group that she considers family
 * Yang has to suffer with her constant coolness and popularity
 * Jaune may have run away from his family and was told by his father that he wasn't good enough and probably never will be.
 * Ozpin has apparently made more mistakes then anyone else on the planet combined.
