there is no evidence suggesting that merle hates kids. i mean, he made an adventurers’ camp for kids.

which makes his hatred for angus so much more fucking weird.

There is actually a reason for this! They answered this question in the second ttazz. This is a part of the transcript for the episode:

“Justin: Uh, Dad, why does Merle not like Angus? {39:07}

Clint: Oh – um, actually that was a very legitimate character choice, ‘cause I’ve always kinda played Magnus— I mean played Merle as—

Griffin: [crosstalk] Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Clint: [crosstalk] See, I do it too.

Justin: [crosstalk] Fuck you guys still, to the moon.

Clint: See, I do it too. As a character who was really kind of insecure about his place on the team. He was never much of a team guy, and saw anybody that joined the party with distrust. If you look back, even Killian coming on, anybody that came on—

Griffin: Wow, I never—fuck, man.

Clint: I made the- I made the choice that Merle would always feel so insecure that, you know—what do they need him for? He’s a failed cleric, he’s short, [someone hitting their knee?] 90% of the spells he casts are failures, so anytime anybody came along with any level of competency, he saw that character as a threat to his position in the group.”

I bolded the more relevant parts but the transcript itself is made by tazscripts. I hope this helps!

Oh fuk
