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.

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.

People who lack basic human compassion. It's a sentiment that we have lost, at least in the US, and it makes for some seriously cold f**king people. Worse, it's more socially acceptable to be a cold-a-- prick than a compassionate human being. We need to fix that s**t if we want to have a functioning society...

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.

The Prequels were terrible. They turned the mystical Jedi into basically the Gestapo for the Republic. the Jedi are a police force that have no oversight, can execute someone they suspect of heresy without a trial (not that heresy should be a death sentence). A Jedi makes an order for million (billions?) of soldier clones AND NOBODY BATTED AN EYE.

Ugh. People who use 10 texts to say what could be said in one drive me nuts. I have better things to do than tend to my phone for half an hour while you send me a single smiley face emoji or a thumbs up. Just because you have nothing better to do with your time doesn't mean I'm not up to my elbows in washing up water, or trying to read without constant stupid interruptions.
