I guess its because you don't see any hate to her on forums anymore, but when you go to social media, it's pretty obvious how hated her character still is:

Not only are there many other twitter posts like that, but also the attached image I added below was a reply to Pokemon.com's official facebook page about the Hoenn seasons being added on Pokemon TV.
I guess wrongly just viewing Pokemon forums gave me the impression May was relatively well liked, but go anywhere on platforms where most hardcore anime fans don't visit, she's almost universally disliked. I don't even think characters like Iris or even Serena get this much hate from casual fans simply because they never watched their seasons or got up to those points, but since Hoenn came directly after the original series, it's what they were still exposed to.
