Internet “hate fads” that got old fast - Too much of a bad thing

[Dom Cruise]

Michael Bay
Everybody was sucking his dick, then Transformers 2 came out and suddenly, he was the worst person on Earth.
His movies are a bit stupid but they're mostly fun and on a technical level, even the ones from the previous decade destroy most things that are coming out today.

This for me.

I used to really hate Michael Bay, I used to get so angry over him, but today while I'm still not really a fan of his movies, he doesn't make me angry anymore, I no longer think he's deserving of the level of hate I used to give him.

The hate for emos is gone, though emos themselves are pretty much gone. The hate was never the same as it was during the days when good old YTMND was popular. insert Chris Chan sigh here The only thing we have now is calling people emo when they act overly angsty. But it's not as special as it once was....

They think its still 2003 and that Blormpft is a somehow a neocon fundie zealot coming after their buttsex and D&D along with all the usual shit.

Meanwhile he's the first President who entered office in support of gay marriage. Not even Obama did that.

My answer would be Sword Art Online. It's just a painfully mediocre anime and yet people acted like it was some sort of personal insult against them.

This one is fairly recent, but Fortnite. I was right there on the hate wagon from day one. Absolutely rabid crusade against it. It's literally cartoonish PUBG. Over 2 years later, and people are still beating their rations of reddit gold out of it

Basically millenials not self aware enough to realize they're beginning the metamorphosis to boomers. "Damn kids! Stop Fort Night dancing on my lawn! *sip*"

Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Yeah this is more of a recent thing but even though I don't support SwSh and how the devs handled what is imo a rushed, slightly upgraded 3DS title that can't hold a candle to other switch titles I can't help but feel the Dexit thing went a little bit overboard when compared to other issues related to the games - like the company being willing to blatantly lie to their customers. The best thing you can do is vote with your wallet and leave it at that.

Even pre-internet, Barney hate was huge. If you went to school wearing anything Barney-themed, you would be crucified.

Here's a 90's freeware Mac game all about killing Barney that you've probably never heard of:

The funniest thing about this is that one of the earliest Doom mods was a mod that replaced the monsters with Barney. And said mod was released back in like 1994, before the source code was officially released which is kind of impressive to think about given that it was the earliest days of PC game modding.

There was even a Table top game made on Barney hate. http://www.jihad.net/

Hell, I even remember White Wolf had Barney hate in their game with a monster called Blamey or something. It was really impressive that it spread that far without the internet.

I'm not an anime fan but I gave that a shot, since it was a cool concept.

It was really, really shit. I guess it got hate because it was very much an anime thing that happened to attract people who don't like anime.

Everyone in the comments remembers watching this as a kid and thinking it was freaking epic

Hatedoms are almost autistic by definition because if you don't like something just don't watch it you mong. Getting irrationally angry about the mere existence of something is classic autism.

Not too far off from the speakonia/goanimate spergs that make videos bashing preschool shows. I'm sure somewhere out there there's "DREW PICKLES MURDERS BARNEY THE DINOSAUR WITH CHOCOLATE PUDDING AT 3 AM"

Wtf is gacha life?

Gacha are paypig games where microtransactions are taken to an extreme level and paypigs blow all their money on them, some going bankrupt.

NONONONONO NOT THAT.
Gacha life is an anime dress up game that kids use to make machinima that’s really cringy and disturbing.
Look here’s an example

Remember Bert is Evil.com I don't know if that counted as a hatedom.

Maybe just me, but I'm way past sick of the fuckers who'll give you shit for pronouncing GIF with a soft g instead of hard.

I’ve known that ever since the creator of the dang things said so.
