I think I get the hate now

People aren't mad that they took the toys from the shelf and played with them - that was TFA. This movie was more like throwing the toys into a pile and lighting it on fire to watch the fantastic crackles and pops as they all melt down. This movie is actively hostile towards the past, not just changing it (see: https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/a-list-of-some-of-the-times-the-last-jedi-told-the-olde-1821396631). You can imagine why people would get mad about that.

I think that's awesome though, it provides a nice and unique new perspective. And it's just a movie, not plastic toys... the old stuff will always be there in pristine condition. So why not have some explosive fun with the material?

The theme of actively eliminating the past that is holding you back is by far the best thing about the movie, so this shouldn't be a complaint. It just means you didn't understand the movie, which I guess is clear when people complain about Rey's non-parents and Snoke dying midway and how it sucked that everyone kept failing. I guess the movie repeating the theme 4 times and then having Yoda come out to explicitly lecture you about the theme wasn't enough for some people.
