I think a lot of the hate stems from the fact that this pasta got so much attention, and not really from the pasta itself. Most pastas that are this poorly written usually die somewhere along the way, meaning they either get deleted immediately, or they simply land with a thud and nobody reads them. Every once in a while, a shitty pasta slips by. Here we have exhibit A, The Dating Game (actually exhibit A is Jeff the Killer, this should probably be exhibit B). It's bad, but there's obviously at least one element that some people liked, though what that element might be completely eludes me. I agree that if you criticize a pasta, you should always leave some feedback as to why you feel the way you do. But like I said, it seems that people are reacting more to the success of this pasta than the story itself, whether consciously or subconsciously.
