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.

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.

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

Except that I spent three decades being shat upon for not wanting them and my husband heard NOTHING. I got called a "sick bitch", "Twisted",and "not a real woman" by total strangers for years. ...///... I tried to explain this to my husband, but he didn't believe it until he actually overheard someone doing it.

Yes please. Stop harassing people who dont want them. My MIL would ask us constantly (she already has 2 grandkids) despite how many times we told her that we didnt want them. She only stopped when I told her that I cannot get pregnant (true but not the reason why we dont have kids). Same with my grandmas. Please you see me twice a year (I live abroad). Dont waste our few moments together lecturing me about marriage and kids. The other day one of them sent me a letter (i write to them sometimes because they like it a lot). And she was again insisting about kids! She got her first greatgrandchild. And has 6 grandkids. When is it enough?

It's always better to not have kids if you don't want them. For you and for the kid(s). A child should be loved and taken care or, not just brought here to fulfill a person's selfish needs.

I'm totally ok if you don't want kids. I DO have a problem with people that don't have kids and trash talk children. "make that brat stop crying, kids are disgusting, keep your crotch fruit away from me, why should I pay taxes for schools when I don't have kids?". When you are a senior, the kids from today will be your doctors, politicians, police, pharmacist, mailman, etc... and it is in your best interest that those kids grow up to be competent for the sake of the society that you will be living in.

Anyone who says kids aren’t disgusting is a liar. And you shouldn’t let your kid inconvenience others just because you want the kid around. The things you’re quoting there are being said to you because you’re being inconsiderate of others.

Thanks for saying this! I also don't think I would have been a good parent. Rather tired of being called selfish for what I considered a rational choice NOT to screw up some poor kid's life. Maybe, if more people knew themselves better, they'd think twice about parenthood. Not a bad person, but I don't like being obligated to do certain things. Maybe, instead of being a lackluster parent, I just chose to be a phenomenal aunt!

People wouldn’t have to say it if others (esp. parents) keep pressuring them to do so. Us child free folks are quite happy without them and don’t need those with them to tell us how unfulfilled we supposedly are. I wouldn’t even mention it but it is pertinent to the post in question. If you really don’t care either way then why did you bother to comment on a point that deals with it in the first place?

It is fine not to want kids. It is even admirable. But those who have to tell us how horrible kids are to justify it are the problem. No need to call kids names and demean those who have them. It is true, you don't have to justify not wanting kids, but stop the insults. I respect those who say they don't want kids and leave it at that, or who say, children just don't fit into their plans.

Seriously, my nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews are fantastic and their parents have an awesome time and awesome holidays with them. I'm glad I haven't got kids though because I have a mental problem, don't panic, nothing drastic, not thinking of taking over the world or anything, but it is a pain and I wouldn't want to pass it on.

Some people should definitely NOT have kids. There are some people who don't want kids for the wrong reasons, like "I don't like them." Having your own kids is a game-changer. I believe we are hereditarily programmed to want a family. I think it is wrong to not allow priests to marry.

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.

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....
