I am pleased by the amount of SPM hate.

Don't get too pleased with yourself. I dislike SPM for having a badly-written story, not for the fact that it tried to tell a story.
 
thats not even the problem with me really, however thats kind of a silly view to have.

Thats exactly why I hate it. I don't mind if the rpgs have stories, I just don't want them to be cliched melodramatic rubbish.

I don't really mind. Taste is taste, and sometimes people see something in a game/story/whatever that others don't see, and it makes it worthwhile for them.

Like, I personally don't understand why someone would like characters that treat you like shit, and a narrative that acts as if you're an idiot, but maybe there's just something I don't see.

Maybe it's because it's been a while, but I don't remember those moments in the game. Could you elaborate?
 
I currently have a thread in Fan Creations where I record my experience while playing through the game. A lot of it is tongue-in-cheek commentary, but I do elaborate on a lot of things that irritate me with its plot and characters, and things I feel do not make sense or are plot holes. Like, that thread is pretty much as elaborate as I can get.

The gist of it is that, excluding the four protagonists which are recurring characters from other games, I can count the characters I like in SPM on one hand. Everyone else is either bland, deliberately annoying/rude for no reason, or using you for their own end.
