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.

Just like any religion, of course there are extremists that give the group a bad name, and the rest of us look down on them and don't support how they act.

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.

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.

Honestly, you have every right to think that way, since Islamic governments are not spreading the true image of Islam and most Muslims don't even believe in them being rightful. And the media (doing their job) are consequently presenting the false image as the representation of Islam. please don't confuse the true Islam with the version you see from the countries and the media. Regarding women's rights, Muslims are THE ONLY GROUP who have required actual verbal consent from women before being able to even lay a finger on them; or have treated colored people as equals as others (believing in no difference among humanity in terms of race or gender) for more than 1400 years, where other human beings treated women and the colored as slaves until even the past 100-200 years. Even in these years, they are under various pressures, even in the modern liberal countries. These are the things no one knows about, and you have every right to think that way.

I cannot agree more. But this does need to come with healthy criticism of religious practices (of any faith not only Islam). Not all Muslims are conservative but (as many other religious groups) many are. It is important to talk about this as well. As soon as we acknowledge that other religious are equally conservative.

I once had a really long wait at an airport. I noticed a Muslim man in a corner praying, soon after a stranger walked up to him and got down to pray too. They did their thing and once finished shook hands, took a selfie and went their separate ways. It was heartwarming to see two strangers share something in the moment.

Even nowadays some muslim, jewish or christian (...or mixed!) traditions are proudly followed and preserved by Spanish people, having or not any religion.

The problem with Islam is that it's not only a religion, it's also a culture, it's a law (sharia), and it regulates every aspect of your life down to how you should use the toilets (I'm not kidding)! Most Muslims don't know their religion well enough to distinguish between what's religion and what is antiquated superstition, or nobody's business but your own. And why don't most Muslims know their religion? Because they don't all speak classic Arabic, and the Quran isn't supposed to be translated (as per Muhammad, who was illiterate). So kids in religious schools learn the Arabic alphabet and learn to "read" the Quran by rote without understanding a word. They have to believe dubious authorities who tell them what the Quran says...

Reading many of the comments below, I can see that there is a lot of confusion regarding what a religion actually is. Is Islam/Christianity/any religion what is written in the sacred foundational books? Well, many of these were written centuries ago in very specific historical circumstances and locations, in response to very specific cultural crises or issues......even if they do have universal messages. Or is a religion the cumulative tradition that has grown up around these sacred texts? A tradition is a living, changing entity. A text is static. A tradition includes additional texts, commentaries, etc. But it is even richer than that. Because it includes peoples' actions, choices, values--and isn't it really more the case that all of these combined are what a religion is, and what it "teaches"? So, yeah. Every religion includes many loving good people and teachings. And every religion includes some really horrific actors and values. And both extremes are still part of it.

Don't make me even start counting. Veganism? Biological products? Pineapple on pizza? it is everywhere and in everything. If you take it too seriously, everything can be turned to "the dark side".

The religions itself has some AWFUL s**t in it. If you are super devout, you are a d**k. If you just casually take the best parts, the kindest parts, and use them to govern your life? Good on ya.

Really unfair generalizing those who are devout as d***s. I take my Christianity pretty seriously. Can you tell me why that makes me a d**k?

People fear what they are unfamiliar with and once one group does something radical everyone is lumped into that group. Funny it's not the same way with radical christians

Read carefully and learn that everything applies to every religion. It is EXACTLY like that with Christian fundamentalists ruining the reputation of christiandom.

As Muslims never listen to any reason/words that is not written in the Koran then how can you say they are misunderstood, you never listen!!

I hate the architecture that is deliberately designed to ensure people can't sleep on benches and places like that. The people that thought those up should be made to sleep on their own spiky monstrosities

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved Sharks. They're just a well designed killing machine and the chances of them killing you are super low. Orcas and dolphins are actually "meaner" if you want to look at them in a human way, they'll purposely mess with you or hurt you. Sharks might just bite you on accident.

Author Peter Benchley who wrote Jaws regretted how Sharks became feared and hunted and became an advocate for their conservation. Sharks play a very important role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem and they need to be better protected.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved Hyenas. Most unfairly villainized and maligned animal in the world all because of some stupid Disney movie. They are not scavengers at all they hunt 90% of their prey and lions steal food off of them far more than they steal off lions. They are highly intelligent predators with an equally important role to play in the ecosystem.

Even if an animal is a scavenger, there is nothing wrong about it. It is important for natural balance.

I can personally confirm that I was a piece of work in grade school - then high school. And it wasn't because of teachers - it was because of me.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved Snakes. They are awesome pets and the super dangerous ones don't want anything to do with you. I can't stand people killing snakes they find. To me its like killing a stray dog you find. Just call animal control.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved Trans people. Just like many other minorities, most people get little exposure to them other then what they hear and see online. Aka the trans freakouts and anti trans pages aren’t too realistic, along with the tumblr 30,000 genders people, “real” (not because of a coping mechanism or fetish, etc but fr like born that way, ) trans people irl are quite normal.

I never got the hate against trans people (or gay or others). Even if you disagree with their mentality why does it matter? They arent doing anything against you. Let people be.

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.

I always figured the Nickleback hate was just a meme and everyone is pretty much neutral on them.

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.

How can people hate body pillows? I have one covered in a plain white sheet and it helped me have the best sleep I've ever had. Honest to god, I recommend everyone to have one.

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?'
