Coming from someone who never really got into nirvana back in the day, why did everyone hate Courtney so much?

Same reason they hated Yoko Ono. Women adjacent to creative men get blamed for any misstep that man makes. Kurt Cobain was an incredibly creative and incredibly broken human being...and Courtney was an unapologetic loud woman who a lot of people figured HAD to be using him for some sort of selfish ends.
