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 The rain. Rain is f**king awesome. It feeds all the plantlife, makes puddles, and my personal favourite, at night time the rain reflects light and makes even traffic lights look f**king amazing. Jesus I love rain.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved Atheists. Most of us are nice, sensible good people just like you, we just happen to have different views on religion. 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.

Exactly. I would like a salary and hours that allow me to pay for a decent size home (1 bedroom, kitchen, living room and maybe 1 guest bedroom) and a tiny terrace. Money enough to pay the basic bills and live without fear of poverty. Besides that I don’t really care. Sadly nowadays even working full time what I described is a dream for a lot of people.

I grew up in a wealthy home. However, my parents focused their resources on education, travelling and good food (they loved trying different restaurants or types of food). I was lucky to have the opportunity to study a good career in a prestigious university. I have a normal job and earn well. I could have taken a different life, but I chose a simple yet fulfilling life (for me). Why? Because I honestly don't need more. I don't have the need to own things to be happy. I don't want to be a manager or escalate a corporate ladder. I just want to be me and live according to my true needs. Most of the things you own will end up in the bin one day; experiences will follow you for life. I think it is better to spend your time and resources in stuff that add true value: good nourishing food, educacion, experiences alone or with people you love, learning new things and skills, helping others and a comfy bed to sleep well.

My asshole dad thought I wasn't hotblooded because my life didn't involve foing out much, meeting friends often or taking part in extra-curricular stuff. That and I was also expected to be "the one who brings the family out of poverty". Result? I became socially withdrawn and eventually dropped out of my Engineering College, which was one of the best in the Maharashtra State. I won't deny that I'm partially responsible, and I am the one who has to bear the result, but I think things would've been different if I had more emotional support.

In high school I had a Philosophy teacher that during one class asked us to tell him what would be our ideal scenario, like, our perfect life. And I said that being home would be it. And he gave me this speech about how wrong I was, and scolded me for not wanting something extravagant like living in a mansion in some rich country, or flying to the moon, or being in some vacation spot, or something. So he basically wanted us to come up with something like that that would require a lot of effort to achieve or whatever, and I was like, I mean, that's nice, but nothing would beat being home without nothing to do.

I agree 100%. I wanted to travel and see the world, so I did (I was lucky), but I would never rag on those who don't wish to travel or "climb the ladder." After all, it's only been in the last century that people are expected to improve "everything" in their lives, like their standard of living, etc. Before television, and advertisements telling people what they HAD to own and had to do, people lived happy, quiet lives and were quite satisfied with that life.

In the US a lot of the population has reached a higher material standard of living, especially when compared to the rest of the world. This gives many the impression you are nobody if you don't reach some arbitrary height of financial comfort, that you might be too lazy, too stupid, too boring, too cowardly, too average, too ' fill in the blank ' since you didn't dream big enough to reach for the stars, you know, the ol' in America you can be anything you want to be BS. The fact is many are perfectly fine living a mediocre standard and living safe and secure in a time and place that anyone from the 17th Century would be in total awe of. The culture of stardom here leads to a whole lot of unnecessary insecurity, envy, and jealousy IMO

And ironically, every, single, person I have ever met, that " lived like this", hands down, were the happiest, fulfilled, and most content people I have ever met in my life. Happier than any of the people striving for the next level job, car, house, ect. Ect. Don't get me wrong- it's good to have goals and aspirations....and I hate to say this, but I am being honest- the absolute contentment that some people have, with having a beat up, rusting, pick up truck, living in a teeny house that has been handed down to them for generations, maybe missing some shingles, and a simple garden in the backyard can spark such joy that they want for nothing, at times I envy them. On top of that, they are the most sincere people I have ever known. Maybe it's because they are truly happy. Maybe I need to learn from them.

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.

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.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved GMOs. Humans have been slowly doing that since we started cultivating crops, now we can just do it quicker. And there are millions of people who rely on GMO crops to not starve to death.

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.

I do love that men can dress as women with beards and by embraced by the world, but god forbid a teenager wears clothing she feels comfortable in whilst making some good damn music.

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.

People do not hate the veganism, we hate the aggressive, "only we can save the world, you f***ng animal killer"-like evangelist vegans.

I think the people who claim to know what a "true fan" is and must know, are much worse!

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?'

Except an actress should be able to ACT AS IF they have emotions. Especially in movies....
