I think Monsanto hate is unjustified. CMV

I believe reddit's general consensus is wrong about Monsanto. 
I have never heard a convincing argument against them, all I ever hear is just insults. Furthermore, any wrongdoings by Monsanto are generally pretty minor. I won't argue that they are saints but after reading sites like Monsanto watch and hearing things like "By the 1940s, Monsanto had begun focusing on plastics and synthetic fabrics like polystyrene (still widely used in food packaging and other consumer products), which is ranked fifth in the EPA’s 1980s listing of chemicals whose production generates the most total hazardous waste." makes me think that people just want to hate on Monsanto. It's like hating the IRS agent for doing his job.
Most of the claims against Monsanto is that they don't go above and beyond their duty. If you want to blame someone for pollution then blame the regulating bodies responsible.
Further I am convinced that 90% of the hate comes from that stupid movie which has been shown to be false where the farmer whines about being sued for stealing Monsanto crop.
Further, no one ever tries to provide an alternative, again showing that they are hating the player not the game. 
For example I saw a front page post about Monsanto losing to farmers because their contract was too restrictive. Well they said that the contract is invalid because it violated Brazilian law regarding seed saving(which I accept as a valid argument ignoring my belief that people should be free to agree with whatever). However I believe that reddit is way to happy for the "protection" of the Brazilian farmers who essentially agreed with Monsanto to do something, then backed out and ripped them off due to the government not being very ethical.
One point in the case that the article brought up was that Monsanto could come at any time for any reason to inspect the crops, making it sound very mean and evil when in reality that is commonplace with IP, such as Microsoft but no one complains because computer engineers are actually smart and reasonable vs the teenage "environmentalists" on reddit.

Convince me to dislike Monsanto and that reddit isn't hating on an beneficial company for dumb reasons. 

Edit: Well I thought I was going to be clever and answer all the posts, but holy shit you people are like a flood. I'm going to bed, will continue this tomorrow.

Self-sterilizing 'Terminator' seeds were a horrifyingly unethical and irresponsible thing to try and unleash on the world.

Granted, they never made it to market, *but not for Monsanto's lack of trying.* They would and still will market this technology if the world ever lets them, and the ecological implications could be catastrophic - one awful scenario involves cross-pollination between a plant with the 'terminator' gene and one without, which could create latent genetic traits which show up generations later - in everyone's seeds, not just those bought from Monsanto themselves. Entire lineages could be wiped out by 'accident.'

'accident' is a tricky word to use when talking about corporate institutions, because the failure to take precautions against predictable outcomes (think BP) isn't quite deliberately causing an accident, but it isn't *not* that, either.
