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.

There is nothing wrong with not wanting kids. No one should have to justify their decision not to have kids.

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 have Schziophrenia, and my cats, if they see that I am alone and having a moment where I'm freaking out, it's like they know to come and be by my side, meowing at me, and nudging against me for attention etc, as if they know that it will snap me out of it, and honestly? A lot of the time it does. Most humans wouldn't do that if they saw someone having an attack like that in the street, I can say that for certain.

People that “hate” cats are red flags, in fact anyone that says they “hate” an animal (that’s never down anything to them) are red flags. How can you hate an animal? You don’t like cats as you don’t want to be called the crazy cat lady so technically you are more worried what others think of you that the cat itself? Cats are incredibly intelligent, affectionate, furry babies, I’ve known the love of 6 cats so far in my life (since childhood) & some of them I treasure more than my human family relationships.

I do find it disturbing how 'anti cat' the internet has become. Even the jokes about them play into incorrect stereotypes. Cats are really curious and interested in things and love to hang out and see what people are getting up to. They're lovely restful company. But they aren't dogs, and I think dog people that dislike cats just try and treat them as dogs and then get annoyed that they don't respond in the same way. When a cat exposes its belly it means one of two things, either 'I trust you not to take advantage' or it means 'c'mon, let's play fighty'. It doesn't mean 'I want a rub'. Then the person rubs their tummy and when they get their hand grabbed and bitten their thought process is 'well, that just proves cats are a.r.s.e. holes, luring me and then attacking me'.

Beware of people who say"I'm not a cat person I am a dog person" They are telling you right away the type of character they have. They feel the need to be in control and cats won't let them do that. Of course I'm not saying all dog owners are like that but I bet you can look at a dog person and pick up the controlling behavior in their day to day lives.

No need to make such sweeping generalizations. I more often hear cat people saying that they hate dogs and not the other way around especially on the internet tbh. I am solidly a dog person and not because I like to "control" my dog and I don't like being around people who are like that with any animal. Super controlling people usually don't have pets cause animals don't always listen. Never dated a control freak that actually had any mammalian pets just reptiles.

People will say they hate cats because they had a bad experience with one. Sure, there's the odd cat who is miserable and will scratch on a whim. There are people like that, too. There are totally loving cats who hate to be away from you. There are people like that, too. Cats' personalities are as different as a human personalities. Sure, there are basic things about cat behaviour, like there are basic things about human behaviour. Every single cat is different - just like people. To hate an animal just for being an animal makes for a not-so-nice human.

Ahhh, it looks suspiciously like a velcro cat. I know mine is. Always where I am at all times (except for his potty breaks and eating). And cats can also choose their human. Last year I decided to get my elderly cat a companion. Fully expected it to come to me for love and affection. Nope! It chose my son and you can tell it's his cat. I'm ok with that. Cats are totally their own animal. Both animals get along great.

A cat loves you on it's own terms, a dog loves you unconditionally and slightly needy. Compare and contrast the typical animal reaction to you leaving the house and arriving home. (That's not to say cats dont suffer from separation anxiety, but it's not the norm). In my experience, people who hate cats tend to be the one who want to control the pet they own, rather than having a loving companion (again this is not all "dog people", just the ones who actively *hate* cats)

I've ranted on here before about the whole 'I'm not a cat person, but....' thing. No one cares about your dislike of cats. You don't have to state your dislike for an animal any time anyone mentions one or sees one or comments on how cute it is. You can comment on a cute animal pic and move on, without making it about you. This goes for the 'I'm not a dog person, but' crowd too, though they are pretty rare in my experience. It's always the people that are 'not that into' cats that seem to think you give a sh!t about their preferences.

Meanwhile the human in the video is clearly doing something that makes the cat act that way. Makes me sick. No, the cat is not trying to ruin you life on purpose or doing it to piss you off. You just don't know how cats work and can't communicate with them.

I always hated cats, I thought they were the grumpiest, most vicious creatures. I dated two separate people who had cats and both cats would attack me with their claws or bite me. Then I met the dude I'm with now and his two cats. They're the sweetest, most loving little things with tons of personality. They're brother and sister and they're the best. The boy cat has become mine as he won't leave me alone and ALWAYS wants cuddles and is constantly rubbing his face on mine. In face, as I write this, they're both lying on me fast asleep. All other cats can do one :-) but my cats rule.

Super talkative and will always be where you are. Right before the pandemic, Leap Day, I decided to adopt an adult Siberian. He's, shockingly, waaay more affectionate and attentive than my dog. Got me through the lockdown with all his love and cuddles.

Hating cats (and dogs) is usually not about the animal itself. It's about the bosses, who do not control their pets, so the pet becomes a nuisance to other people. And they become very selfish about it when they expect other people to tolerate their pets behaviour. They expect other people to tolerate the cat turd in their own gardens, wich can have negative health impact for children playing in the garden. They expect people to tolerate the dog turd in front of their own house and step on it when it's dark. They expect other people to tolerate when a loose dog is not under appeal and jumps on them, because "oh he is just playing". Some people just do not want to get jumped on, maybe because they have a dog-trauma. It's about the pet owner doesn't take other people, mostly neighbours, into account.

I have six black cats. They are the most affectionate creatures that I have ever met. Never seen a dog that would demand that amount of pets as my cats do. They figure their cat stuff among each other (fights, bites, late night zoomies and biting) and come to humans just for pets and cuddles. And lota of purring. And more cuddles. Each of them is absolutely didferent, have their own personality and quirks, all are huge cuddle bugs. I would never give away any of them. Ppl who don't like cats just never really met some or met misbehaving ones. I know from my experience that cats are only mean if unhappy (not loved, not pet enough, bored, mistreated you name it). Happy cat is an infinite bundle od love. They even wait at the door when I return home. I don't need a dog to do that (though I love dogs too!).

We've had cats that opened doors (not latched doors although I've known of cats that did that), followed us around just like dogs will, loved playing and would even take part in a version of hide and seek in the yard (we'd race behind a tree and peek out, then back behind the tree and peek out again. The cat would charge over to the tree and run up the trunk around to us). We had a cat that would walk through a party of 20 or more people only to find the single person afraid of cats and jump in their lap. We have had cats that you could do anything to and they were content to put up with us.

I loooove cats, but honestly I just wish they didn't want to kill so much. I get it that it is "instinctual" but I wish it was if they only were starving and needed to "instinctually hunt for food" . I also love to watch the birds outside and the momma's feeding the babies. Then they show up dead at my door......

I think a lot of the problem is that people often spend a huge amount of time with a puppy, training it, domesticating it, socialising it. Then they get kittens, play with them by dangling their fingers in front of them (practically training them to scratch hands when they are grown) then they pretty much leave them to their own devices. I have a cat who has always been with me all the time (I work from home) and I spend as much time with him as most dog owners spend with their dogs and he is extremely affectionate, never scratches or attacks me (I can even give him a tummy rub). He is really bright, knows what all sorts of words mean (even fetch your mouse). So I think a lot of the issues people have with cats are because they have had a bad experience with a poorly domesticated and untrained kitty... a bit ferel. If you didn't socialise or train a dog and left him to his own devices he would probably be pretty vicious too.

Absolutely. Cats are highly intelligent, sensitive and prone to taking care of their people when they are sick or down. Mine greet me at the door, follow me around, cuddle , snuggle, play and, on occasion, worry about me (esp when my lungs act up). Our youngest even tried to take care of someone crying on the television!

I think some folks just don't understand cats, especially if they've never lived with one (or bonded with a friend's). Not every pet type is right for every person and that's ok. I like that our fur baby (cat) is sometimes a cuddle bug and sometimes just wants her space, I'm the same way.

I trust my cats' opinions of people more than a dog's, sometimes. Cats are not dogs, but mine act like they are... they come when called, sit for treats, act as a dependable alarm clock, love to cuddle and play, play fetch without training, and greet me at the door when I come home. How is any of that a bad thing?

I think it has a lot to do with their personality. I love my cat Elvis like my son, I never thought a cat could be so loving and so social based on my experience with my moms cats. And he loves belly rubs and just cuddling in general. He comes to greet me at the door when I get home. When I look at other people with their pets no matter what kind of animal it is, I just think "that's their Elvis".

People keep saying cats are spotlessly clean. Yes they might poop in a litter box then cover it by scratching the litter over their poop , then they jump up all over work surfaces and food prep surfaces with all that crud on their paws. Fair enough not all cats do this but I've seen it happen numerous times

I won't ever have a cat even though I like other people's cats. Growing up we had one and if you ever made him mad he'd find your stuff and pee on it. No matter what method you use to clean it up the smell lingers forever. You will probably have to wait for the next humid day, but it's there.

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.
