What's with all of the Beast bashing?

Have you had your daily dose of brick to the face, today?
I know that it's typically fun for some Marvel/X-Men fans to play "bash on Beast the Hypocrite", but this latest stint is getting fucking annoying. Here's the scenario: In order to knock some sense into Cyclops - who has become increasingly more militant and cultish with his interpretation of how to fulfill Mutant Equality - Hank "Beast" McCoy uses a time machine to bring over the past versions of all of the original X-Men members - himself included - to show him how he was before all this shit went down. That didn't work, and although his old self saved his current self from death by fixing an error in the calculations that turned him blue and furry, it was quickly warned that if he didn't return them to the past, an apocalyptic future awaits all of mutantkind (like THAT is a new concept *rolls eyes*). So, he tries to, but something outside his control prevents that, and now they're stuck in the present, and everyone, EVERYONE, including Uatu the Nosy Neighbor Watcher (the guy NOTORIOUS among his kind for interfering with the events of mortals) and Hank's OWN PAST SELF, treats him like shit over it, like he could've foreseen this kind of bad future and chose to ignore it for the lulz.
BullSHIT! I'm sorry, but nothing that I've read about these latest stories convinces me that this is anything but a half-assed ploy by a hack writer to stir up drama. The X-Men comics, from what I hear, have been going steadily downhill in quality, lately, so I'm not surprised this kind of bullshit is going on, but still, UATU THE WATCHER?! Not bothering to warn Hank about this until AFTER it's too late to do anything about it? And then acting like he's solely at fault for it, despite trying to mitigate the situation? Fuck you, you bald cosmic dickbag, you interfered with the order of the cosmos on Earth for less reasons, so why choose THIS time to decide "Nah, I'll sit back and watch the blue furry bara fail miserably, doom all humanity, and then rub his face in it like a bad puppy who crapped in the house and chewed up his owner's shoe"? And Past!Hank, why are you asking your future self where he completely lost the script? Shouldn't that be a question for CYCLOPS? The guy who went from straight-laced yes-man to Xavier, to cheating on his dead wife with his enemy and taking up methods for "protecting mutants" that would make Magneto call him out as being too harsh? Hell, you helped SAVE HIS LIFE from a mistake that you'd end up making AS him in your near future/his not-too-distant past, and you have the GALL to bitch at HIM for what he did to you and your team?
This is the sad state of the comics industry, now; lawsuits, reboots, and hack writing for the sake of bullshit "drama" all over the place. Not even Sonic's escaped it, lately, although it's better now than what it was a couple of years ago. Beast may not be the paragon of virtue in the X-Men universe, and he may have been hypocritical at a few points, but he's at least had the best intentions at heart and felt badly when those intentions wound up fucking him and all he's worked for in the ass, which is more than I can say for Cyclops, nowadays. So yeah, fuck you, X-Men writer, you have no right to do this to our favorite furry blue bara hunk. Not one right.
