Things you don't think anyone could hate

[SonOfVoorhees]

Oxygen

Think about it everybody want's it everybody needs it.

If you hate it you are stupid.

I dont know, im thinking those people that want to be euthanized because they are living in constant pain with an incurable disease hate oxygen. But granted, thats an extreme argument to make.

My nomination would have to be "Pushing Daisies". It's just a perfect combination of hopelessly optimistic, heart-warmingly sentimental, and silly all at once. I find it impossible not to be smiling the whole time. And I find it hard to believe that someone could hate it, I mean, even gruff people have to smile sometime right, right?

Also, Terry Pratchett. Wondrous author.

Agreed. I've never met anyone who's read the books and hated them. The movies on the other hand got hated on quite a bit, which is too bad, because I kinda liked them.

I wasn't too keen on many of the casting choices they made for films like Going Postal, but I suppose it must be horrendously difficult to put a lot of the more fantastical elements of Pratchett's stories to film on a limited TV budget.

@Vale: I remember those times. That wasn't great. I used to find that listening to classical music helped immeasurably. I was amazed that mere humans could create something so beautiful. Eventually, something awe-inspiring and indescribably beautiful comes your way that pierces the armour of cynicism or misanthropy and reduces you to tears of ecstasy.

Ya, rly. Ecstasy.

Plants don't need that shit. Stop thinking just because something works for you it will work for everything. The nerve!

 

[Someone Depressing]

Oxygen oxidises your cells, and burns you alive from the inside. Fuck oxygen, man.

Besides, who could hate food? Food's pretty damn awesome.

And duh, how could anyone hate Ponyo (just ignore the fucking plot, that's not part of the movie by the 20th minutes)?

Oh yeah, remind us again how misanthropic and cool you are! I've been down that road myself, but gladly got out. Would have been fine had you contributed to the thread at all, but you didn't even do that. I don't need people to remind me of the world's wretchedness, I can do that by just reading the news.

I know I'm fucking annoying, I do this because any release is better than none at all. And you are validating me doing so by reacting to it at all. Pro tip: if you encounter attention whores, just fucking ignore them. Or report them so they can be banned off the forums quickly.

Deathclaws. All they want are hugs.

Headcrabs, too. They just want to mate with your face, you should be flattered that they find you so attractive. But noooo, every silent hero this side of the resonance cascade doesn't even give'em a chance.

Water? Delicious water... mmmm...

Captain Haddock would like a word with you. 12 noon, tomorrow. Nearest bar.

OT: I think that to actually hate, hate, hate something takes a lot. To dislike a lot, that's a more reasonable goal. If it came to that, I'd say money. Nobody hates money, unless it's somebody else's and/or they were beaten with massive wads of cash by their abusive father when they were young.

Pizza. For some reason it seems really weird to hate it, and I've never met anyone who didn't like pizza. Anyone?

I know people that utterly despise it, though I'm not sure if "people" is an entirely appropriate term.

OT: I cannot imagine anybody not enjoying a spot of lo-fi raw black metal. It's just beyond me.

They won't be when we send them to "re-education".

 

[AD-Stu]

AC/DC.

I know there are a bunch of people out there that don't like them. My wife is one of them. There are definitely people that hate them. But my brain just can't process their logic. AC/DC are awesome.

 

[Moderated]

There is nothing in the world that doesn't have at least one thing hating it.

Yes, you may find it boring, but do you actually hate it? If someone watches it, do you ask them why do they watch dat shit? Do you take against it personally for some reason? Did it make you angry? That's what I mean by truly hating something. But if it really is the worst film you saw in the entirety of primary school, you either have insane standards or don't watch that many movies to begin with.

Well, at the time of watching I hated it, I haven't seen it since then and I wouldn't get angry at anyone or anything like that because I'm not a fuck nut. I HATE spiders, that doesn't mean I will hold anything against someone for liking them, I don't get angry at them, I just hate them and don't want them near me. Hate is different for everyone, and while you may be right that now I just find it boring and not so much as hate it as I did when I was in primary school it doesn't change the fact that someone at some point hated a movie you like, such is life.

And yes, it was the worst film I saw, partly because we had to watch it IN Japanese (as in they were speaking Japanese and our teacher did not put on subtitles for the first viewing), partly because we watched it multiple times, and because of all the other films we watched they were films we had heard of/seen already. If it makes you feel any better the second worst film I remember seeing was some gymnastics movie (I think it was Bring It On) but the reason why I didn't hate that was because I was in year 7 and girls were hot by then...

So call it juvenile racist attitude or whatever.

My guinea pigs, they are so cute and wonderful, so full of love and happy, wish I knew how to upload a picture of them on here so I could show everyone.

My dad didn't like my guinea pigs because the cage they lived in was hard to clean and smelled pretty bad.

 

[lunavixen]

Ice cream, pizzas and sandwiches. I have never met anyone who didn't like these.

I don't like Ice cream, I don't hate it, but I don't like it.

As for the original question, I think everything has someone who hates it, well I can't think of anything that is universally liked or loved.

As long as you cleaned their cage weekly it should have been fine

 

[Ihateregistering1]

I am full of resentment and seething anger towards the world because my life is shit and I feel utterly powerless in general.
As a result, I don't much care for "nice" or "cute" and the idea of "wholesome" automatically make me extremely angry because I can only think of "Western" society's oppression of marginalized groups (homosexuals or people of different cultures or color) when the word comes up.
Same for romance. All I know of love is to hate other people for being lucky enough to experience it.

See, the great things you love are quite easily hated by others.
I know well enough that the horrid, brutal and relentlessly unforgiving media / themes in media I am so enamored with disgust most people. I'm not even talking about violence (or at least physical violence), but I am drawn to depictions of mental anguish and existential dread because that is what I can sympathize with, I guess. So I like shit like Roadside Picnic, or Blood Meridian (okay, "like" may not be the right word in that case) or No Country for Old Men (not because of the cattle gun, because of Tom Bell and his little dream). Or Death is my Trade. Or Malevil. Or L'Isle. Fucked-up, disconcerting, uncomfortable things.
It's all just a matter of what preferences you have, really. But nothing is "sacred" or off limits, especially when it comes to hatred.

This is great, you sounds like one of the "Goth Kids" from South Park.

Anyway, bacon. I've only met one person in my life who didn't like bacon, and I couldn't believe it. It wasn't even for religious or health reasons, they just didn't like the taste. To me that's like saying you don't like kittens (to look at, not to eat).

 

[DudeistBelieve]

I don't know how anyone can hate Kevin Smith, the human being.

The guys funny, his podcast routinely make me chuckle even when I'm in the worst moods. Ever since he turned to weed he's been a beacon of positivity and assurance for creativity.

I can understand people hating his films, but the guy himself is just aces.
