The massacre seemed like it was just done to make him more unlikable. Finn caused the deaths of two kids in the drop ship on the way down to earth all because he wanted to show off to Clarke and he showed no remorse, not even to bury them (thanks, Wells!). That's when I started hating him. Then, it turns out this whole time he's been hitting on Clarke, he actually has a girlfriend up in space still who he never told Clarke about. He made me initially hate Raven because she spent most of the time mooning after him during Season 1 (because she didn't know until Clarke told her that Finn was cheating on her). It wasn't till Season 2 that I realized Raven was actually pretty awesome.

Everything he was involved in was polluted by him somehow, whether through his obsessive Clarke behavior or his lies. So, the massacre making him more unlikeable? Not possible. If anything, I liked him a little bit better because now he was no longer just a whiney douche.
