Disclaimer: I haven't done or seen his interlude yet, so all I know about FGO Columbus is the part from Agartha.

Nothing wrong with being hedonistic, or even having different moral standards. The reason people don't like him is more in line of how he appeared in the story, imo. It's not so much as he is made to be hated, but there's just no opportunity to explore his potential likable aspects. We know he likes slaves, but what about his other quirks worldviews? Why did he come to be this way? Was there some tragic back story which molded him into a slave-loving bastard? It's entirely possible that he may be considered as a daddy character in other scenarios. As Valeth said in other threads, no redemption moments.

There's also the problem that unlike Gilles de Rais who appeared as antagonist, his sudden betrayal in Agartha and the outpouring of different moral values came without any foreshadowing (it doesn't even show in his my room dialogues); which may rub people the wrong way. (we hate deceptions more than outright villains).
