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.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved Rats. They're some of the funniest, most affectionate and intelligent small pets, with a ton of personality, who actually enjoy engaging with people.

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.

Yess agreed! Cuddling with a plushie helps me calm down and fall asleep. My therapist also told me it's a good way to train your brain to go to sleep. If you are used falling asleep with one, your brain will sort of know 'oh, it's sleeping time' when you cuddle with one when going to bed. And besides, they're freaking cute

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.

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 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.

We don't even know how we will make people aware of the danger in the future, since no language will survive that long.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved Funko Pops. People absolutely hate them even though they're like $10 vs $100 for an actual figurine. 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 Indians. Yes a proportion of men are horrible here, and there's crimes against women and all but not all of us are Simps or predators. We are 1.4 billion, so even if 5% are criminals it's still 70 million people.

Fix the women issue and we'll talk about that. There's 1.4 billion of you - half of that women. Your laws and enforcement of it should be amended and local idiocy banished.

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

They were the Nickelback of the 2010’s.

It’s time to pass on the torch of hatred for a new overly mediocre band with bland and generic music that all sounds the same.

People who work with fossil fuels, My grandad drives a fuel truck for work to deliver fuel and he stops at a gas station and occasionally some A-hole decides to go off and say your polluting the environment and your making it worse, people like my grandad do the job because it provides food for the family and it’s something they have a lot if experience in, that doesn’t make them the target to bully

This. Sadly not everyone can afford to be an activist and deny job opportunity and putting food in the table because of ethics or ideology. And they shouldn't be shamed for it.

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.

I dislike it because I was looking forward to it for so long and then they made it 1st person only and I’ll never be able to play it without throwing up, I dislike it because it broke my heart. :.( (yeahyeah I know about the mods)

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.

I've learned a lot from TikTok, like products, hacks etc. It's like every other tool, it's the way you use it.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved People who text one sentence at a time send Because I don't think of one big paragraph and then send it to you send I live in the moment and text how I think I'm carrying on the conv when new ideas appear in my head send And sending them straight away so I have your attention as if I'm talking to you send As I think you're likely to click off after reading one sentence so I try to keep you there send I don't plan my text it comes out random so I'm typing as I think- like I said. Who does walls of texts anymore? Most don't read or forget to reply. send I love receiving texts this way.

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.
