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

The Westboro Baptist Church. Basically everyone online shouting "I am a conformist! I accept the liberal narrative!" at like 5 guys with signs while acting like they were fighting some great powerful evil. Embarrassing.
Aight but the WBC do behave like real cunts tho
 
Nickelback did nothing wrong. If you think they are/were overplayed, blame the CRTC.

I don't like or dislike Nickelback because there's nothing there to have any feeling about. If there is anything I don't like about a Nickelback song coming on the radio when I am driving, it is that it is not bad enough to make me change the station so I end up going into a second hour of listening to a shitty Jack format radio station.
 
Rip me a new one if you want but....the hate aimed at furries and bronies. I guess we just needed something to hate before sjws, white knights, e thots, simps, became I thing. I say as long as no actual animals or children are being harmed let the tarded pervs have their fun.
Found the furry.

The 2000's bit of hating anyone who accomplished anything or tried to do anything. Usually coupled with "You aren't special" or "You're not better than me, stop posting about your stupid cold iron forgework, faggot."

Now it's pretty much a good bet those people all became bugmen.

Nickelback is unironically the world's best Metallica tribute band.


It's just a pity that their own songs are fucking cancerous, but probably not cancerous enough to provoke a full-scale jihad against. Definitely one of those hate fads that was done to death.

I think furry hate has become kind of meta. People hated on them, then they became this overplayed target of hate, then the fact that they were such a standard issue thing to hate on became the joke in itself.

Westboro Baptist Church were god-awful but the hatred of them did get ridiculous as it became more apparent they were weak and irrelevant. Their shtick got stale and once Fred Phelps died, even the goddamn mainstream media stopped giving a shit about them.

I'm a bit perplexed as to why a hardcore Catholic like you would defend literal Hyper-Calvinists who think Catholicism is just crypto-paganism (and that paganism is just crypto-Satanism) but I agree attacking the WBC in 2020 is going after some of the lowest hanging fruit.

I hated Nickelback even when they were popular but I'm a classic rock and oldies sperg who thinks punk and alternative rock were largely a mistake (my love of early 80's goth rock aside) but the weird thing about the Nickelback hate fad is that it happened years after they ceased to be popular or relevant. I stopped giving a shit about Nickelback around the time everyone else started hating on them out of nowhere. I honestly didn't get it.

Usually music hate fads tend to occur during the peak of the artist's popularity like Justin Bieber or One Direction or the bubblegum pop stars and boy bands of the late 90's and early 2000's.

Furries and bronies are pretty awful in their own right and were never good, but you do have a point where a lot of the more relatively mild furries that were considered the peak of cringe in the early 2000's is now just sedate compared to "Current Year" political spergs or even the majority of furries in the 2010's and 2020.

The thing with furry hate is that it's kind of cyclical but they've always been hated on even by the other geeks. Even weebs are viewed more favorably than furries are by anyone who's not an SJW (and most furries these days tend to be woke) and the weebs even had the "Anime Boom" in the first half of the 2000's while furries have been looked down on since they got started back in the 70's.

Furries also have this weird talent where they somehow always manage to outdo themselves in the cringe department and just generally get worse as a community as time goes on which helps ensure they remain a common hate fad. The rise of the Woke Left and the Alt-Right should have been a golden opportunity for furries to just be seen as a passe low-hanging fruit except for the fact the vast majority of the furries became turbo SJW's and BreadTube types.

Furries and bronies were mostly hated because they would show up everywhere, fuck everything up, and never stop inserting furfaggotry or ponies into literally everything, no matter how completely inappropriate. To the extent they still do that, they're still hated. Mostly both groups have mellowed out.

SJW furries are now the current worst furries, and the fact they're furries is usually the least shitty thing about them.
 
She-ra redesign. It was literally a still frame. Only to find out that it wasn't her permanent redesign, just bad image to show.
 
The Last Jedi. I do not argue, that this movie fucking sucks and that it was the last nail in the coffin of the original trilogy, that sealed the fate of the next instalment. But I've seen entire channels building their fanbase exclusively by nitpicking every fucking detail in this trash heap up until the release of The Rise of Skywalker. It's also funny, how some of them praised TFA, when it had same problems and was basically a precursor to everything bad in TLJ. I've already sperged in detail about Disney trilogy, so I'll leave it at that.
 
I don't know if this counts as "hate" but flat earthers. Debunking them doesn't make you smart. Stop pretending they're relevant or scary or proof of how dumb and deluded the plebs are. On top of being a tiny, statistically insignificant minority, most of them either have legitimate mental issues or are only doing it for the meme.

People who devote time and energy to arguing against flat earth are exactly as respectable as if someone normal devoted themselves to debating people with Down's Syndrome and making "epic reckt" compilation videos of it. The Downies aren't the cows in that situation. You are.

At least debunking intelligent design takes some knowledge of evolutionary biology. A toddler can debunk flat earth shit.

BreadTube in particular has an odd obsession with them.

My absolute favorite is when they can't even properly debunk the flat earthers' claims, failing to disprove the ramblings of crazy people.
I remember one video (was too long ago for me to remember the name) where they flew a camera up with a rocket or drone or whatever, and the earth under them was round. But the lens they were using made even the shot of the ground under them before the launch, look round...
You had one fucking job, man. You failed to debunk flat earth. That's like losing a debate about economics to a seven year old. You reached for the lowest hanging fruit, but were too short to get it.
One thing I've noticed, is that these proverbial midgets don't laugh at the crazy morons that they somehow manage to be dumber than. No, they get ANGRY at them. "What's this, a dumb but ultimately harmless individual posting hilariously stupid schizo shit? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, FUCK YOU, SCUM OF THE EARTH ASSHOLE". They usually try to politicize it too, trying to paint it as right-wing or something
I don't have any explanation for this behavior, it truly baffles me. I get being mad at someone if they do something wrong, but being stupid is hardly a reason to hate an internet stranger's guts, especially when it's so fun to just laugh at them.

Flat earthers are some of the most peaceful group of people now in 2020. I'll take them over this bullshit we have now.
