I hate none of the villains, none of them have yet to really given us a reason to hate them all that much. I know why most people hate Adam and that's easy bumblebee. No, people hate Adam because he's a vindictive sadist who explicitly stated that he wants to kill everyone Blake loves, and because he severly fucked up two fan favorites with an honest-to-God smile on his face. The people who hated him before Volume 3 for anything besides being emo af can suck it.

Personally I thought it was refreshing to see an unrepentant lunatic as a villain in what had previously been somewhat of a lackluster cast of antagonists. I would like to note that when I say lackluster, I mean that despite the uniqueness of the villains themselves, none of them really jumped out at me at any particular moment in the show besides Torchwick. Well as the quote stated, what set him on his path to be what he is today. Remember Blake said he wasn't always the guy he is now. He must have suffered throug or seen some really horrible shit to put him on the path he's on. Monster aren't born theyre made after all.

Well except for the Grim those are born as mosnter, but you get my point. Adam must have seen the really bad racisim to drive him to hatred.

Because Adam is a sadist and phsycopath because he is the embodyment of fight fire with fucking fire. To quote another man this one not a fictional one.

"Beware that when fighitng monsters, you yourself do not become a monster" -Fredrich Nietzsche.

Adam says he's justified in his hatred and cruelty because no doubt he's seen humans justified in treating faunus as "animals" instead of thinking feeling beings. The series has dropped hints that Faunus are still being treated like shit. Key example the Schnee Dust company border line slavery of the Faunus. As well as how blake in anger told Wiess maybe they were tired of being treated like shit.

So again he wasn't the dick he is now because he is the world shaped him into one.
