In my case I’ve hated Harry Potter, skinny jeans and Tesla long before that became popular to do.
Facebook, Twitter, “influencers”, most social media in general.
Lemmy (and Reddit) are social media, but my brain keys them more as forums rather than lumping them in with other social media.
MrBeast.
- reddit (I joined Lemmy years before most people reading this, and was already only lurking a couple of selected subreddits through an alternative frontend for years before that)
- Bill Gates (FOSS have hated that prick since 1976, but even I was hating their reputation laundering long before right-wing conspiracy nuts decided Gates was a communist vaccine microchip liberal or whatever)
- Musk, I guess. I was years ahead of the mainstream, but again, not ahead of socialist communities and environmentalists.
- and twitter, and BlueSky
Woke.
- Blokes in women’s sports
- waiting and taking joy from being offended
- being feeble
- teaching small children about sex not the basics of learning
- everything is far-right and Nazi, whilst enforcing an idiology that changes grammar in bizarre ways and what words I can use to an extreme; enforcing it in a way that is totalitarian in style.
- being offended on behalf of groups that would find such things funny, especially in the UK where being insulted by your friends is a term of endearment.
- thinking that your generation will change the world when you couldn’t collectively change a wound dressing.
Skinny jeans are hated by most people? Where? Like all fashion, it always has haters, of course. But I wasn’t aware of a peak wave of haters for skinny jeans
One I hate that I am unsure of a term for but I call it “Family time” is when a show or movie makes everyajor twist revolve around the main characters family…
Star Wars is a great example that no one notices it in
Darth Vader is Lukes father Leia his sister
Both rolls could have worked without those twists
But it is far worse in other shows and series or even ruins them for me
Fringe was ruined by it imo
Slow horses is falling into this trap with season 4
It’s a cheap ploy to try and make the moment or stakes more dramatic by involving the characters in ediate family as ploys or villains. At the same time it just feels out of place most of the time that the entire world these characters are in revolve around 1 family.
So many shows use this trope but I don’t even see a proper term calling it out and at the same time it has ruined so many shows and just shows a lazy writing or plot narrative.
The author does not know how to write for the dramatic response they want the audience to have for the villain or ploy so they make some dramatic reveal that their family member was secretly involved making it more difficult for the main characters to make decisions or take action.

X/Twitter/BlueSky I like long conversations with lots of information and while I use them now, it’s only because that’s where people post.
Tesla/Musk.
Back in 2014 Tesla and Ecotricity had an agreement to upgrade Ecotricity’s charging network to be compatible with Tesla’s superchargers. Tesla whined that it wasn’t being rolled out fast enough. Ecotricity wasn’t a very big company and was basically working for free, so asked Tesla to actually support the roll out if they needed it faster. Musk went mental has been trying to destroy the company ever since. The 2014 Tesla patent release was never about collaboration or saving the planet, he just hoped somebody, somewhere would use it to undermine Ecotricity.
Twitter. Just never saw the point.
Google. Been trying to de-google for over a decade. Many of my random asks for alternatives have been answered with “just use google, it’s free”.
Biggest problem is phones because I hate Apple more than Google. Every 6 months or so I look into linux phones, but walk away unimpressed.
I think the best you can do for phones is get one with good hardware and put a degoogled ROM on it
Yea, I’ve checked LineageOS and a few others out, but my phone isn’t supported.
That’s what I get for also hating selfie camera notches/cutouts. Most of the phones I get aren’t popular models. If you know of one for the Nubia Z60 Ultra, point it out.
Joe Rogan. I described him many years ago as “the reality TV equivalent for podcast dudebros” and my (largely well educated, liberal) friend group jumped down my throat for it. Apparently I was being judgemental and shouldn’t judge people for their entertainment choices.
Called my shot.
I hated Donald Trump long before he became president.
I didn’t had idea of who Donald Trump was till he was president. Can I say “If I knew who Donald Trump was I’m pretty sure I’d hated him.”?
Russell brand, back when he was just a homeopathic, somewhat progressive pseudo-intellectual moron. I remember specifically avoiding Get Him to the Greek bc I thought he was a creep, didn’t think he’d actually be charged with SA though. His pivot to manosphere right wing bullshit doesn’t get enough attention, bc of worse people like Rogan.
