Because you're editing out of your memory all the people who don't.  I can
think of more fanfic authors who like Akane than dislike her.  

Akane in bad light, as violent homidical maniac (I happen to be a friend with 
one who agrees on this topic), or write her off as a person who isn't worth 
much, pertaining to the story of Ranma 1/2 much at all. All WAFFy fics of 
Akane doesn't help her much at all either. It's always either one side or 
other of Akane.

Unless you read DNR, Putting Your Heart in the Right Place, Thy Inward
Love, Ranma--Timeslip, Waters Under Earth, or a wide variety of other
stories which present a reasonably balanced Akane.  
 

As for Ranma and Akane's dream, they were obvioulsy shaken by their dreams, 
but I was surprised to notice that they didn't give it much of a thought in 
canto one. I know for sure that they would at least try to ponder over what 
they meant. Unless I was mistaken and Canto didn't occur the next morning...

Ranma and Akane are not exactly noted for being contemplative.

Everyone has photographic memory.  Some people just don't have film.
