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 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 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.

Well..I understand it on one hand...but on the other...sorry, guys. I would love to give them food, walk with them to the store and let them buy something. But it makes me re-think it, when I walk a homeless lady, that claims to be pregnant to a shop to let her choose a food - and all the time she was just babble terrible rasist stuff about Vietnamese (we were in their shop, I like to go there, the lady there is always nice and kind) and this p** me off. She was offered a free food to choose. Why to be mean about people who sell it? And stuff like that happened several times to me. Just one guy was great, when I agreed with him to bring him canned food the next day, if he waits there for me at 5pm. He was there and was so nice..

That is very considerate and kind of you to offer to buy them food. People on the street often have a lot of mental health disabilities/disorders that cause them to think their thoughts aloud, have little control/filter of what they're saying and may be talking to voices they are hearing in their head. These disorders and disabilities are more common that it appears in our society. The only difference between the homeless and homed is access to a strong support system and the ability to pay for those treatments. Perhaps they are trying to voice something that happened to them and it's coming out wrong. For the pregnant woman throwing insults on Vietnamese, you could ask why she is thinking like that, for example. I may add, they're struggling just to meet their basic needs and try to hold some pride. Being offered help isn't always viewed to them as welcoming. They're often sleep deprived from being woken throughout the night by police and community watchers. It's torturous.

I am not a fan of giving out money. That being said, it is way too easy to dehumanize house-less people. They deserve respect just like everyone else, even if that means stopping, looking them in the eye and telling them politely that you don't have any money. You don't have to give them anything, just don't treat them as sub-human.

See, this makes no sense. If there’s a problem with poverty and homelessness, why do some politicians go so hardcore against them, instituting bans, approving funding for anti-homeless additions to architecture and benches, and just flippantly telling people to get a job and pull themselves up by their bootstraps, when so many politicians—-especially the conservative ones—-are trust fund babies who never had to struggle a day in their lives? Why isn’t more money spent on fixing the core reasons for those problems? Jobs that pay a decent wage, facilities for those with mental health issues that prevent them from living independently, universal healthcare so people aren’t scared of being financially wiped out by medical bills or student debt (when they actually try to do that “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” stuff), and clean, well-kept, and affordable housing everywhere, just to name a few. But no, their philosophy is “I got mine, f**k you”.

Money isn't spent on things like this because there's no profit in it. Also, don't ask me why, but there seems to be a built-in societal need to perpetually punish people for the "crime" of being poor and/or homeless. If one is born into the right socioeconomic class/es and is in no REAL danger of experiencing such things, they'd have no clue what I'm talking about. Suffice it to say that the next clueless twat who mutters in my general direction about "bootstraps" is going to get a boot of their own in a very delicate area.

Only because a specific location is mentioned that I happen to know. A good portion of the homeless in Austin are actually child predators who are bound by law to remain within the city limits, but required to maintain a certain distance from specific locations and places. As a result, they are living in “tent cities”. It was in the news while I lived there briefly. I could not believe what I was hearing.

Hardly anyone 'wants' to be homeless. But for some reason many of them are treated, as if it was their decision not to have a roof over their heads ... and instead to live on the streets ... and sleep under bridges ... and to beg for money, food or simply for help.

Part of the problem is that some homeless don't want to live in houses. They prefer the streets. some have mental issues and this can cause a lot of problems including violence towards others. Any housing offered by councils there have to be rules so they can all reside in the same building in harmony- and that is not always possible. Obviously that does not apply to all h omeless, but to quite a lot.

I feel bad for the older people or mentally challenged, those who cannot afford to have an apartment or extended stay room, or be in a care home. But those who could work, even go around doing yard work for example I don't feel that bad for. And there is a woman a couple miles from me who KEEPS 7 (SEVEN!!) grocery carts full to overflowing along the street, as well as a big chair with a tarp tented over it!! Those things do take money off our property value and degrade our neighborhoods.

It's not the people being there, it's the lack of toilet facilities for those who don't want to leave the streets. Police don't make them leave here in L.A until it's a dire situation with trash and disease, then they sweep the area, but don't have enough places to put the displaced. We are getting more facilities, tiny homes and programs to help, but some just won't take the help. After Reagan closed the mental hospitals, crazy homeless people became the norm. Now, we add 10s of thousands of former homeowners (and tax payers) who lost homes in the last few years, but they DO want help.

That’s a lot of hate you have there. I hope life doesn’t hit you with any reversals. It’s often a shorter trip to being homeless than you think.

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.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved Teachers.

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.

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 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?'
