SIU said that she would be likeable, if you got to know her better. Most people who dislike her strongly enough don't make an effort to try to understand her actions and her background has not been explored very much by now. Most of the very vocal "critiics" are twelve and their main complaints are that she's ugly and powerless. They also do not put things in perspective. Like being powerles should serve as some sort of justification/reasoning for her actions rather than being something that makes her more despicable (compare her to AA for example who proudly walks all over other people while being extremely priviliged and getting nearly no flak for it).

They also don't look at the narrative closely enough and draw conclusions when there's a lot of evidence for the contrary (one of the examples would be people saying that Rachel wanted to kill Baam at the end of season one, while there are like 5 things pointing in the opposite direction). She is certainly one of the more complex characters in the series and SIU does not make an effort to change people's opinion on her very much.
