There’s always something people have demonized. First it was fat, then it was food additives, and lately it has become sugar. But things people see as evil don't end with our diet.

Other commonly disregarded stuff may have to do with music, like the controversial band known as Nickelback or going to psychological therapy, or not liking animals like rats, tarantulas, and snakes.

We rarely reflect on why specific things cause us such adverse emotions, so this viral thread may give us some perspective. The simple yet thought-provoking question “What doesn't need the hate it gets?” was asked by Redditor u/Alexdoesthedo, and it has clearly produced some very illuminating responses.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved Reading.

Even those who read scoff at what others read and it's not necessary.

Reading overall is good for the brain and memory. Comic books, magazines about cars or fishing, romance novels, old classics, it's all reading.

There's no need to feel shame or shame someone for what they read.

They get a terrible reputation for carrying disease or being aggressive- which is just not true for domestic rats. Growing up I had almost every common pet rodent you can think of, and hands down I'd pick a rat over a hamster any day.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved Cats. Many people I know absolutely despise them because they think they cant love you the way some dogs can, or they remind you of the stereotype "crazy cat person" or the whole "they're all aggressive/bitey/scratchy" thing. Once I had both dogs and cats (and reptiles!) in my house - and though I love both, cats tended to speak a little louder to me. I'm part of a TNR company and ended up raising one of the cats I caught while searching for my missing cat last month and realized how sweet they can be if you take the time to earn their trust and give them space when it's asked for.

I'm in favor of practicing any religion you like, but Islam is one of the most intolerant religions to ever exist. There is no Muslim-majority country where being gay isn't hazardous to your health. There isn't a muslim-majority country that isn't a hellhole in regards to women's rights. Islam is incompatible with liberalism, the same way 14th century Catholicism is incompatible with liberalism. If you want to follow Islam, as a liberal I say you do you, but don't expect me to turn a blind eye to the religion's social problems.

I am not a fan of giving out money. That being said, it is way too easy to dehumanize house-less people. They deserve respect just like everyone else, even if that means stopping, looking them in the eye and telling them politely that you don't have any money. You don't have to give them anything, just don't treat them as sub-human.

See, this makes no sense. If there’s a problem with poverty and homelessness, why do some politicians go so hardcore against them, instituting bans, approving funding for anti-homeless additions to architecture and benches, and just flippantly telling people to get a job and pull themselves up by their bootstraps, when so many politicians—-especially the conservative ones—-are trust fund babies who never had to struggle a day in their lives? Why isn’t more money spent on fixing the core reasons for those problems? Jobs that pay a decent wage, facilities for those with mental health issues that prevent them from living independently, universal healthcare so people aren’t scared of being financially wiped out by medical bills or student debt (when they actually try to do that “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” stuff), and clean, well-kept, and affordable housing everywhere, just to name a few. But no, their philosophy is “I got mine, f**k you”.

Money isn't spent on things like this because there's no profit in it. Also, don't ask me why, but there seems to be a built-in societal need to perpetually punish people for the "crime" of being poor and/or homeless. If one is born into the right socioeconomic class/es and is in no REAL danger of experiencing such things, they'd have no clue what I'm talking about. Suffice it to say that the next clueless twat who mutters in my general direction about "bootstraps" is going to get a boot of their own in a very delicate area.

Only because a specific location is mentioned that I happen to know. A good portion of the homeless in Austin are actually child predators who are bound by law to remain within the city limits, but required to maintain a certain distance from specific locations and places. As a result, they are living in “tent cities”. It was in the news while I lived there briefly. I could not believe what I was hearing.

Part of the problem is that some homeless don't want to live in houses. They prefer the streets. some have mental issues and this can cause a lot of problems including violence towards others. Any housing offered by councils there have to be rules so they can all reside in the same building in harmony- and that is not always possible. Obviously that does not apply to all h omeless, but to quite a lot.

But those who could work, even go around doing yard work for example I don't feel that bad for.

Help should always be before punishment! Always, for everyone who doesn't hurt somebody. No matter if it is about homelessness, addiction, both, whatever - and yet every evidence proves that help outperforms punishment in every regard, being a tough mayor, one who "gets things done", is taken for advertising those candidates.

It's not the people being there, it's the lack of toilet facilities for those who don't want to leave the streets. Police don't make them leave here in L.A until it's a dire situation with trash and disease, then they sweep the area, but don't have enough places to put the displaced. We are getting more facilities, tiny homes and programs to help, but some just won't take the help. After Reagan closed the mental hospitals, crazy homeless people became the norm. Now, we add 10s of thousands of former homeowners (and tax payers) who lost homes in the last few years, but they DO want help.

It's just Monsanto GMO seeds. 1 generation so they can keep selling them, and they don't care if their product does get into organic fields nearby. Losing natural, unmodified seeds to Monsanto's greed is terrifying.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved Billie Eilish. I don't know what it was that made people go "eeeew, BiLlIe EiLiSh" but come on. She's an interesting person and her music is genuinely good. I'm not one for forcing artists on people, I just don't get when a relatively innocuous musician gets that level of hate.

And while I'm at it: Taylor Swift writing about relationships. Just about every artist in existence has either written about their relationships at least once, or usually write about love/relationships, either through experience or generalization. Why is it okay for people like Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, or Ariana Grande to write about their relationships without much uproar, but when Taylor Swift does it? Sheesh.

I don't think people hate boy bands per se. I think they hate the cynical manufacturing of them by music companies. 'OK, so we've got the super handsome one, the goofy one, the sensitive one, the blond one...' 'Can they sing?' 'Sing? who cares?'

People who lack basic human compassion. It's a sentiment that we have lost, at least in the US, and it makes for some seriously cold f**king people. Worse, it's more socially acceptable to be a cold-a-- prick than a compassionate human being. We need to fix that s**t if we want to have a functioning society...

I have battled this notion for decades. I repeatedly hear how people will "knock out" someone who so much as cuts in line from them. Or how "I just tell people how it is" without the need for tact. The entire world feels it is admirable and correct to forget about kindness, that being a bully is strong. No, it is far more difficult to be kind and concede even in the face of adversity. If you were to get slapped on the face, and then offer your other cheek to be slapped as well, you are deemed a coward or a door mat or "you should stand up for yourself". I once was punched in the nose at a dance club because the guy who asked me to dance had a girlfriend there, I didn't know. I recounted this story to my friends, and told them I didn't punch her back...100% of them said that I should have hit her..I want to know why? What in the hell would that accomplish? I know who I am, I know I am strong and I know that compassion, tolerance and kindness is what makes me strong.

"nuclear waste is relatively easy to store"? We need ways to store it for 100 000 + years, before the radiation reaches safe levels. The human race has never stored anything that long. We don't even know how we will make people aware of the danger in the future, since no language will survive that long.

What other people collect should be of no concern to you just because you "don't get it". People collected Beanie Babies back in the 90's for no reason and everyone was cool with it. Funko Pop's are the same thing.

There was tons of hate for beanie babies and their collectors. Most of what I see regarding dislike for funko pops is ire towards the producer of the entertainment for taking such a lazy option for merchandise instead of somehow "awarding" dedicated fans. Note, this is explanation, not opinion, you can pry my Harry Potter funko from my cold dead hands.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved The Last Jedi.

And this isn't even that true. Objectively speaking it was a massive success that the vast majority of the audience and critics enjoyed. But the people that hate it seem to think they're the majority in the Star Wars fandom and act both like a smug majority and a defensive minority.

It's a good blockbuster movie that has great actors, themes, cinematography, and effects. Sure it has some plot conveniences and physics bugs but for the love of the Force you'd think the people that point those out had never seen a movie with plot conveniences or physics bugs before or consider a completely tight plot or perfect adherence to space wizard logic to be the most important things in a movie."

"It's become such a toxic thing because a lot of the people that hate it hate it with a radioactive passion that ruins Star Wars discussion for everyone else (8 hour video on how TLJ is a cinematic abomination, really?)

That's not even getting in to the people that sent the actress that plays Rose death threats. Though I think every sane person that has an opinion on TLJ can agree that those people are insane children.

I guess you have to be part of the fandom, most I ever heard in regards to this movie is "it's a new Star Wars movie". I've seen it, I remember thinking that it was way too long (nearing the end I couldn't remember the beginning), and I don't really recall that much from it.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved I can't believe I'm saying this but... Cyberpunk 2077.

I'm not going to defend the state of the game at launch at all because it was absolutely horrible. But I've noticed the conversation has trended from "The game underneath is good but it's technically f**ked up" to "the game even when fixed is still just half a game".

I know people were expecting a lot more RPG elements, but IMO the game when it works is a pretty good game and I feel like a lot of people just want to bag on that game that haven't even tried it.

And I say that as someone who thinks The Witcher 3 is super overrated and wasn't expecting to even like CP2077.

Speaking as a comic nerd, Superman. Maybe a niche thing but he's either dismissed as a boring one note OP god with no substance who can just beat his way out of any situation, or a boring cornball with no edge to him. Both very incredibly wrong, for different reasons.

The Prequels were terrible. They turned the mystical Jedi into basically the Gestapo for the Republic. the Jedi are a police force that have no oversight, can execute someone they suspect of heresy without a trial (not that heresy should be a death sentence). A Jedi makes an order for million (billions?) of soldier clones AND NOBODY BATTED AN EYE.

Ugh. People who use 10 texts to say what could be said in one drive me nuts. I have better things to do than tend to my phone for half an hour while you send me a single smiley face emoji or a thumbs up. Just because you have nothing better to do with your time doesn't mean I'm not up to my elbows in washing up water, or trying to read without constant stupid interruptions.
