Over the past few years, I have heard from many wise people that the social development of our society has not kept up with technological progress. That is, in some moments of our lives, we still haven’t moved far from people of the Middle Ages – only now we have smartphones and social media… All this concerns our susceptibility to various superstitions or completely unfounded hatred of something or someone.
After all, if you think about it, there’s nothing bad about the objects we dislike. For example, how stupid does it seem to dislike the opposite side of a sports rivalry, right? (Okay, this is written by a Cowboys fan who was incredibly upset when the Eagles won the Super Bowl…)

Universal Healthcare.
Like wow, affordable healthcare. I’ll never understand nor honor any argument that ever claims that it is bad for everyone. Simply because not a lot of people really grasp that concept.

Stereotypically feminine things. Sewing and crocheting requires patience and some skill. Pink colour is just a normal colour. Flowers are pretty. Make-up is art, as well as fashion. Writing and reading romance is okay. Long baths with candles around can be fun. Caring for your body is good. I don’t like any of these but it’s not my role to tell others what to do in their free time and to judge them. Just let people enjoy things.

Being a virgin. I don’t understand how it’s used as an insult or how people that are virgins actually go into depression over it. There is nothing wrong with it.

Music. It’s okay to not like a certain band or musician or singer, but people will become outright hateful and [mean] to one another over taste.

Joining a fandom late 😂 People LOVE to gatekeep like no one could become a true fan after they did.
Same with bandwagon sports fans. Like just let people have fun.

Fanfic. It’s just hobby writing, everyone who thinks it’s dumb needs to grow up, and there’s thousands of writers writing novel length literature for fun, free online to read, and updated regularly. That’s mind blowing.

Actors who played characters that fans dislike.
Also I feel like bad actors get way too much flack, they didn’t cast themselves and like most of us they wanted to simply succeed in their careers. Blame directors and casting directors that went for a look rather than a strong performer… actually going back to my first point if you don’t like a piece of media it is absolutely okay to not hate anyone.

Literally all pets that are not stuff like cats and dogs.
Rodents, reptiles ect can all be very loveable in their ways too.
Funny story I randomly felt like sharing
My first pet after moving out of my parents place was a few years later with a mouse. I had never owned a rodent before.
I was working at walmart at the time and was forced to go do some of that bs computer training in the back when I noticed a weird box in the computer room with things like “I’m friendly” written on it, so I looked and there was this little boy mouse that someone had just abandoned. Hr lady said she was gonna take him to am animal shelter so I said f that and adopted him. He lived with me a little over 2 years before he eventually passed. RIP Gunther
I never expected to like rodents but I did after that and now I have 4 female rats who are being cared for by a friend atm due to a complicated living situation. My friends mom has a garden and gives them veggies as fresh as you can possibly get them lol.

Mimes.
Some of them *are* a bit creepy. But unlike every other kind of street entertainer, they are not obnoxious.
They don’t say anything, they don’t sing with tuneless voices, they don’t play music that you don’t like, they don’t touch you, they don’t even throw anything in the air. They just do their thing. They’re very easy to ignore.

Young girls/teenage girls
Whenever people want to point how s****y something is they say teen girls like that, and usually just whatever they do is extremely criticized.
What they wear, what they listen to, what they watch….
And kids in general are cringey but I feel like it’s so much worse for girls.

Coldplay. The first two albums are good, the rest I just don’t really care about. There are plenty of posers about to mock, people should get off the bandwagon and spread it about a bit.

Dubbed anime.
Like I’m not sorry I enjoy the same thing differently. Plus the work the English voice talent does is truly appreciated on my end.

Young teenagers doing cringy stuff. Everyone did it, no reason to hate on them so much.
Also, influencers going viral “for nothing” or “undeservingly”. I understand if that influencer is a confirmed, bad person overall — like committed an actual crime — but if it’s a random kid playing Minecraft or a girl lip-syncing to a song… Really, why are people getting so pressed? If they’re getting views, then some people are enjoying it. If you don’t, just… ignore them? I don’t get the hate.

The opposite sports team.
We get it, you really like your team. Doesn’t mean you have the right to trash whoever is designated your rival team, their players, and their fans.

In the UK we judge people for how much milk people put in their tea/coffee. The more milk the worse?

Large weddings. If people want to spend their money on a large celebration when they get married, why shouldn’t they? I’d ont understand the hate and derision or gets. There’s a real backlash and reverse snobbery I see where anyone who spends more than £30 on a wedding is an idiot, and there’s a one-upmanship about who spent the least/had the smallest/quietest wedding. There’s also vague anecdotes about how those who spend more than a fiver are more likely to divorce and the marriage is doomed… If the couple want a big elaborate party and are willing to pay for it, just let them have their day. You’re not better than them because you got married in jeans at the registry office followed by a couple of pints in the pub, and they spent money on a big dress and nice venue and 3 course meal.

Twilight. If you’ve trashed a book/movie to the point where people don’t even want to admit they’ve read or seen it, you’ve probably gone too far. Let people enjoy things, it doesn’t have to be the height of sophistication.
