Most of the hate is specifically because of the things she has done. She was smiling and happy watching innocent people getting killed by Grimm during the Fall of Beacon, which made her appear very cold and evil, making a lot of fans hate her. She killed Pyrrha, a character that a lot of fans cared about, so fans hate her for it. She was behind Penny being destroyed, and a lot of fans love Penny, so they hate her for that. Etcetera and so forth.

As for the complaints about lack of backstory, it's because we have no way to understand why she says that she wants to be powerful and feared. We don't have a way to understand her motivations, why she's willing to do all of this just for power and to be feared. Because of this, her character seems kind of flat to some people.
