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 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.

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.

    Correct. Sharks don't eat humans. When they bite you it's because they mistake you for something else (for example when surfers paddle on their boards, they somewhat resemble a sea turtle to sharks). The bite might also "just" be an "investigation bite" because the animal is curious about what you are. They don't have hands so they use their teeth.

    Whilst I agree that orcas and other dolphins are meaner than a shark any day of the week it’s rare to get attacked by a dolphin with the main culprits being bottled nosed dolphins orcas have never attacked a human in the wild and when they do it in captivity it’s because they are insane due to the conditions they live in

    There was a great experiment where scientists put animal blood into a tank with sharks, then human blood. The sharks virtually left the human blood alone except for one or two that came to have a sniff and decided they didn't like it, but there was a frenzy over the animal blood. Most shark attacks are either because we are in their territory, or they simply don't know whether we're a tasty snack so have a bite and see. If a shark wanted to kill you, or eat you, it would. The fact they bite us then leave us alone says everything.

    Fact is sharks very very rarely eat a person. They do bite but that is how sharks investigate and test things since they don't have hands. Majority of people killed by a shark die from shock, blood loss or drowning. They are seriously misunderstood creatures.

    @MagicalUnicorn They aren't. There are no cases of death caused by wild orcas, just few accidents. There is only one known human to be injured by a wild orca, California surfer, orca mistook the surfer’s wet suit for seal and bit his leg, but it immediately let him go. Injury required 100 stitches but no permanent consequences. Something different are prisoned orcas, they attack people because of the stress of captivity that leads to aggression. (sorry for my english)

    When sharks bite you they're giving you a taste. If you feel it bite you, DO NOT SCREAM OR THRASH AROUND. IM BEING SERIOUS. The very best thing you can do is to stay as calm as possible. If you stay calm, there is a VERY VERY VERY low chance it will like the way you taste. Most of the time it wont like you and swim away. If it decides it likes you, punch it as hard as you can on the gills. Those are it's weak spots. If you see the shark coming before it takes a taste, back away slowly. Never thrash and panic if you see a shark.

    I can only assume that the OP has never seen the documentary series "Sharknado" and therefore has no idea of the threat sharks actually pose to not only those areas in direct contact with the worlds oceans but also those areas that are only tangentially in contact with the worlds oceans. This is the only reason I can see which would lead the OP to make such a statement to the "chances of them killing you".

    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.

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.

    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 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.

    "nuclear waste is relatively easy to store"? We need ways to store it for 100 000 + years, before the radiation reaches safe levels. The human race has never stored anything that long. We don't even know how we will make people aware of the danger in the future, since no language will survive that long.

    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 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.
