It’s oddly satisfying to be a hater. Whether it’s pineapple on pizza, reality TV, or that one coworker who always talks over everyone—it just feels so good to vent about what bothers us.

But according to folks under this Reddit thread, some things get more flak than they deserve and could use a little more love. Scroll down to see what they had to say, upvote the ones you agree with, and let us know in the comments if there’s anything else you think deserves more appreciation!

It is fine, although I am not childless. What's nerve wrecking is the constant bashing from both sides, like it is some kind of religion.

Agreed. If anything, I'm being kind and loving not bringing children I don't want into the world and not subjecting them to being raised by a parent who resents them.

In my area, this is directly connected with tradition and religion. You are seen as useless and even "cursed" if you don't have children. You are blamed, shamed, isolated, pitied. That's why religious people should keep their beliefs to themselves. It's your decision if you wish to have 20 children, but don't preach me about "God's will" or my "biological role".

The passive agressive "Oh. I see. Well..." and then the inevitable conversation about how you can't possibly mature as a person until you understand and experience parenthood. These are often the same people who blame everyone else for their problems and when their children break rules and hurt others, then blame the others.

Choosing not to have kids is not selfish. That is for all the people who demand child free couples have children and call them selfish for not doing so.

In my own opinion, I feel the child free lifestyle is another evolution in women's rights. More and more women are breaking free from societal and religious expectations of procreating, and I believe it's a great change. I'm a mother and I love children, but I absolutely support my fellow women in however they choose to build their own lives. There are many different paths to a fulfilling life, and certainly not all of them involve parenting.

(It’s funny because even in this imagined scenario I don’t picture a guy… Because of my issues with control. See? Would have been terrible.) Edit: also depression and now “mild” alcoholism.

All that hate is insecurity, massive insecurity, from childfree people not mirroring parents who are insecure about their choice to be a parent... if it was a choice at all. Oftentimes with people like that, they didn't think they had a choice, felt beholden to tradition or authority or religion, or some combination thereof, and have very limited imaginations, not to mention very limited ability to see other points of view. People who think for themselves and choose differently make them VERY upset VERY quickly. Spoken as a 50+ childfree woman who was also a teacher. Just because I can explain information well, doesn't mean I have any talent at being a parent.

There is no moral responsibility to procreate. None. That said, I think some people are opting out of what could be the most meaningful experiences of their life, and will die alone as a result. Just because you didn't like your childhood and the world is as screwed as it has always been, doesn't mean you can't provide a better life for a new generation.

Having children doesn't necessarily mean that they'll visit you when you are older. They can move to another country far away, they can get a serious illness and die, they may become criminals, they may have a crippling mental health problem, they can join a weird cult, they can be born with serious conditions which mean that they'll be never able to live a normal life or simply hate you for an unknown reason or something else. Who knows? I am not fond of children and have zero interest in being pregnant and giving birth.

Hate is a powerful and complex feeling. Interestingly, there is no clear consensus among scholars about its exact nature. Some describe hate as an emotion, others see it as an attitude or sentiment, and still others regard it as a blend of anger, contempt, and disgust. While some researchers think hate is simply an extreme form of anger or dislike, many believe it to be a distinct and unique experience altogether.

But why do we experience it? To find out, Bored Panda reached out to Clara Pretus, a psychology professor and researcher in social neurosciences, and the director of the Social Brain Lab.

“We hate things that we perceive as posing an existential threat to us,” Pretus explains. “This could be a physical threat—something that puts our life at risk—or a symbolic threat, something that endangers our values and way of life.”

She goes on to say, “Our response to hate is to either avoid or eliminate the object of our hate because we don't believe it will ever stop being a threat. This is different from anger; when we’re angry at someone, we’re still giving them a second chance, believing they can change. With hate, the sense of danger is so strong that it activates our fight or flight response, preparing us to either attack or defend ourselves.”

Richard Dawkins told a story which really illustrates the value of this sort of thing. He had a professor who had a certain theory he absolutely loved and was always talking about. Then one day a visiting scientist gave a presentation which proved the theory to be completely wrong. Whereupon the professor went up to him, shook him by the hand and said "Thankyou so much - you've proven I was wrong all these years!"

This defense mechanism is evident in the brain. A neuroimaging study by Professor Semir Zeki and John Romaya of the Wellcome Laboratory of Neurobiology at UCL showed that looking at the faces of people we hate activates areas of the premotor cortex, which prepares us for action. It also activates the insula, a brain region linked to internal bodily states, including disgust. “This area also activates in response to romantic love, which may explain why people say there’s a thin line between love and hate,” says Pretus.

ADVERTISEMENT

Zeki adds, “The putamen, another brain area, could also be involved in preparing for aggressive acts, even in a romantic context, like when a rival poses a threat. Previous studies suggest the insula is engaged by distressing stimuli, and seeing both a loved and a hated face might trigger such a response.”

He further explains, “One marked difference between love and hate is that, while love deactivates large parts of the cerebral cortex associated with judgment and reasoning, hate only deactivates a small area in the frontal cortex. This might seem surprising since hate can also be an all-consuming passion, like love. But in romantic love, the lover is often less critical, while in hate, the hater may become more judgmental, calculating moves to harm or seek revenge.”

Pretus’s work focuses on how political extremism impacts decision-making, particularly in polarized environments. She studies how extreme social identities and moral values influence political beliefs, the spread of misinformation, and the willingness to engage in political violence.

Another aspect of her research explores the rise of hate crimes. While we understand some factors behind these crimes, what people perceive and experience as “hate” at a psychological level is still a gray area.

In one of her studies, Pretus explored the role of morality in hate. Her team analyzed the language used on prominent hate websites and complaint forums, finding that hate sites contained more words related to morality, not just negativity, compared to the complaint forums.

“Morality guides our decisions and actions because it defines what we believe is right and wrong,” Pretus says. “Our moral values, like honesty, justice, and respecting traditions, are a big part of who we are. When someone acts in a way that threatens those values, it can spark hate because it feels like an existential threat to our identity. Hate then prepares us to either eliminate or escape from the source of that threat.”

ADVERTISEMENT

It’s clear that hate is a deeply personal feeling, shaped by our experiences and values. But we couldn’t resist asking Pretus if there’s one thing people often hate that she thinks deserves more love.

“I would say Mondays,” she shares. “I’ve never hated Mondays, but maybe that’s because I really like my job.”

Please stop generalising that all boomers are wealthy. Yeah, some are and I’m as jealous as the next person, with my pathetic pension. I’ve worked all my life, but did not have the means to have a huge pension pot. I did have a house, but was forced out by an abusive ex husband. I’m single but still have to pay full bills and the rent is almost half my income. This year, it’s eating or heating. I’m not moaning- just stating facts and I’m certainly not alone in this situation. It’s hard being poor, but even harder reading the hatred ….

Both men and women s**t on guys who exteriorize their emotions uninhibitedly in a gentle kindhearted manner and deem them unmanly, describe them as too feminine, plus many other more grotesque words and phrases. And crying is viewed as a sign of weakness.

Women have emotions. Men do too. It’s indisputable that all humans have emotions. High emotional availability is something that should absolutely not be seen as exclusive to any specific gender, age or race. It’s a universal human condition. It’s nothing to be ashamed of and NO ONE should be belittled or bullied for having or displaying completely valid and sincere emotions nor for possessing the ability to communicate them.

Just watched two hour-long Nova specials about dogs and cats. There's actually been a fair amount of research - various behavioral tests, MRI's etc. The result was clear. Dogs care more about people than cats do. Which is not to say that cats don't care, but they are actually more motivated by food. They are also closer to their wild ancestors than dogs are. And wild cats are all more or less solitary, while dogs' wolf ancestors are of course pack animals. The MRI's actually showed the approval and affection are more important to dogs than food is. It's not hard to believe these results if you think about the differences between dog and cat behavior.

30 Things That Aren’t Bad Or Wrong At All But Get So Much Hate Gen Z. There's nothing wrong with them they're just being young and immature because they ARE young. They're not "doomed" again they're being young and participating in fads just like you did. The stuff you did when you were their age was just as dumb, just as cringeworthy and made the older generations "lose faith" in. Then what happened? You grew up and matured.

The stuff that's catered towards them isn't dumbed down or soulless or basic or mind numbing. It's just catered towards a young demographic, which you are not. You aren't the target audience, that's why you don't get it. You're not meant to as it's not for you.

Millennials got the same hate, as did Gen X and Boomers and so on. And they all grew up, eventually Gen Z will and then everyone will hate on Gen Alpha for [damaging] whatever industries and being entitled and not knowing what real work is and whatever buzzwords people always use to hate on the latest generation of youths.

Also while I'm at it, people "glued to their phones" there's this weird assumption that if I or any other person under 40 is on their phone they're just rotting their brain or d**king around or are on social media. First of all everyone looks at their phones not just Gen Z and Millennials. Second of all a phone these days is an everything in one device. It's a calender, it gives you the time, it gives you news, it allows you to send important emails, read books, look at timetables, write notes. Someone "glued to their phone" could be doing any of that kind of stuff.

If you didn't give people in the past s**t for constantly reading books, reading a newspaper, writing their schedule for the day. looking at their watch and so on, why are you giving people, particularly young people, s**t now for it? Because the platform they do that stuff has changed? Everyone still does that stuff. The only thing that's changed is the platform: It's all now on a phone. Think about that the next time you're on a bus or subway and see everyone "glued to their phones".

It's also because so many people claim to have adhd who actually no not have it. As for the drügs, well yes they can be misused, and students trying to get hold of adderal because it helps them to study is something that actually happens.

30 Things That Aren’t Bad Or Wrong At All But Get So Much Hate Vegan food. It doesn't taste as horrible as people make it out to be. And alot of "regular" food is vegan and people don't realize that.

I think usually it's not the food, but some of the vegan people that are hated

30 Things That Aren’t Bad Or Wrong At All But Get So Much Hate I still don't really get why being considered woke is bad or why something being woke is bad. I don't really get how when a black person appears in a TV show, now it's considered "woke" but in the 2000s it wasn't? For example how is current day Power Rangers woke but Mighty Morphin Power Rangers not when it had the same kinda diverse cast? I genuinely just don't get it.

It's like those people on Youtube ranting about X-Men 97 "It's woke!!! ITS WOOOKKE!!" Yeah? And? It was still pretty good. Everyone I know who watched it liked it too. And on top of that what the f**k did you EXPECT from the X-Men? They did no different to any previous X-Men stuff regarding the mutant thing. Only cause now it's 2024 it's "woke"

In fact, I don't really know what "woke" even is I constantly get a different answer every time. Feels like it's such an overused buzzword now that's used as basically "I don't like it" I think I've seen everything get called woke at this point.

Seriously, you afraid you're gonna burst into flames if you watch something woke?

This is not really a thing. There are people in their 20s who choose to have pets and to not have kids, but one is not a substitute for the other.

30 Things That Aren’t Bad Or Wrong At All But Get So Much Hate It seems like when people imagine an adult who lives with their parents they just picture some unemployed unattractive balding fat guy who plays video games all day like what cartoons and sitcoms would have you believe. I've seen people literally raging in reddit posts about adult children who live at home with hundreds of people calling them "pieces of s**t" and "moochers" in the most casual way I've seen. Some of the adult children mentioned in the posts aren't even 20 yet and expected to already know how to do everything on their own. It's so weird to me that the first assumption people have is that they must be lazy and entitled or coddled, and not that they could be going through something mentally or need the right kind of guidance.

Me, my brother and my father built our house for the last 20 years... When it finally got finished, it was only my parents living in that big a*s house by themselves! I'm 40 and moved in with them, living on an entire floor and I'm not a mooch, nor am I a fat balding guy! I did this to help them out financially and physically, as they're growing older and they also have a vegetable garden and some chickens! I pay almost all the bills, buy more than half of the groceries and do half of the cleaning and cooking! Now tell me how is that to blame?!

There are polite picky eaters and they don't bother me at all. But there's also picky eaters who just yell "ew" loudly at every sign of food they don't like, and that's just rude.
