Nah, I don't. If it makes you feel any better, I ship Lilli with the orange guy. ^^ 
I'm not sure why all the hate, but here's what I found on an MLP forum:
Some guy wrote:
Personally, what I have observed is that we already like/know the canon character and have had three seasons and a movie to relate to them. On the other hand, this OC is a mystery person, without explanation or background other than a usually rushed exposition in the first few chapters. Therefore, we have had no time to really relate to the character and thus he could never live up to the bar set by the admiration we already have for the canon character. He would never be "good enough" to be worthy of being shipped with the character we know and love.
OC X OC and Canon X Canon relationships don't have this problem. If the lovers are both OCs, we watch them grow and develop at the same pace, evening out the characterization. Likewise, if the characters are both canon, we have had that long period of exposure to both of the, and thusly feel they are both worthy of the ship.
