People hate Dash fans for the same reason they hate Fluttershy fans, and Bronies themselves. They don't realize that people have an opinion, and are free to like what they choose to like. When something that they don't like becomes popular, it becomes "overrated" and the fans can't possibly be fans because they like whatever it is - they have to be fans because it's poplular.

When FIM became poplular around bronies, it really did seem like Dash and Fluttershy had the most fans (myself inlcuded, but by the time I noticed they were poplular I was already a fan on my own terms.) bronies who didn't like them noticed that they had a lot of fans and dubbed both ponies overrated, when really neither of them are.

The same goes for some haters of Friendship is Magic they don't realize that some of us actually like the show, and we're not just following what's currently "in".

Annoying isn't it?
