How the Hell is "Hateable" Not a Word?

Today I was shocked, no, flabbergasted to discover that the word "hateable" does not exist in the English language. This is a freaking outrage people. I'm not even kidding, I am upset by this. Terribly upset. Incredibly upset. The word lovable exists, and the word hateable instantly makes sense to anyone upon hearing it, its not a strange term that doesn't make sense, so there is no reason for it not to exist.
The only explanation is that the creators of the English language got lazy. You see, they can't follow the spelling rules laid out by the word "lovable," that is, drop the "e" and and "able." That would give you "hatable," which looks like a word that describes something that looks like it could stand to have a hat placed on it. But "hateable" also looks pretty bad, because of the silly "e" next to the "a" thing, which is all too reminiscent of "deamon."
No one wants to live in a world where "e"s and "a"s play with each other that often. No one.

So the creators of the language, all of them, are obviously just too lazy to solve these two problems and give us our damn word. The world needs this word, how else am I supposed to describe Big Jim from Under the Dome (the book, not the stinkin' show)?

The English language needs to get its shit together and make hateable a thing, otherwise I may need to jump ship and make speaking Welsh my thing....

Felly cofio pobl, rydych dwp bobl, hyll, nad oes unrhyw beth yn bwysig o dan y twr sanctaidd.
Bod y byd yn dod i ben pan fydd ein calonnau yn peidio รข cariad.
Bod y byd yn dod i ben gyda cw syml o colomen.
Mae hynny'n amser a gofod yn ddim ond mirages.
Nag gwerin logeen i Goon ar pilgramages.

Now that is a language. Just look at those words. Oes. Enrhyw. Bwysig. Twr.
Those are real freaking words, man.
