** Similarly, ''{{Catwoman}}''. Like BatmanAndRobin, it's not really much more than a silly, campy, generically bad flick-but to hear the haters talk it killed their puppies AND juggled their babies over firepits while singing horrible cover versions of their favorite songs.

* The [[TheFilmOfTheBook Film versions]] of ''[[HarryPotter Harry Potter]]'' has a rather large hatedom amongst those who are fans of the books; usually because a character's role is either diminished or completely cut, as well as [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks other changes]]. It's even more evident on [[ThisVeryWiki This Very Wiki]], where most of the subjective articles have [[AdaptationDecay Adaptation Decay]] thrown around under virtually every mention of ''Harry Potter''. Some people even declare the series [[RuinedFOREVER ruined FOREVER]] because of the films. Funnily enough, fans often seem to forget that Rowling ''herself'', you know, the person who ''actually wrote it'', loves the movies. (though for many people, [[DeathOfTheAuthor that doesn't matter]])

** A lot of hatedom comes from backlash against claims that she is unique. Never has Gaga ever said she was unique or original. Many critics are the ones who have hailed her as original. It's getting worse. What with Born This Way out, and her uh.... appearance at the Grammy's, more and more people are joining the Hatedom.

* {{50 Cent}} is a unique case, because prior to his "Get Rich or Die Trying" days, he got recognized for launching a one-man Hatedom against pretty much every popular rap artist, particularly "How to R.O.B.". However, post "Get Rich", that behavior got him in trouble in more ways in one, amonst ''many'' other [[Wallbanger "what the hell" moments]]. As a result, his Hatedom reached an unprecedented level of universal loathing and his popularity dropped faster than just about any rap artist in the industry. There were, initially, listeners who thought 50 Cent was overrated, and [[ItsPopularNowItSucks disliked him for simply being mega popular in 2003]]. That started to expand with "Murder Inc." fans hating 50 Cent, whose rant against Ja Rule on dis track "Hail Mary 2003" (specifically his rap-singing and having a sensitive side) did irrevocable damage to the company and Ja Rule's career. Then rap fans called out 50 Cent's hypocrisy when he started emulating Ja Rule's style heavily in The Massacre, and got ultra-defensive when he cried on a scene in "Get Rich or Die Trying"'s film adaptation. Furthermore, 50 Cent's attack-everybody dis tactics alienated ''many'' rap artists outside of Interscope, and his jealousy with fellow G-Unit member "The Game" (one of the two decently talented G-Unit artists) sparked off a fued that ended with his [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome''epic'' 16 minute blasting of 50 Cent/G-Unit "800 Bars and Runnin'" dis track]], which started a brutal decline for the G-Unit brand, and later 50 himself. It certainly didn't help that since "Get Rich", 50 Cent's music [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks hardly evolved]] and turned into an unironic self-parody on everything that's wrong with the gangsta rap subgenre, which killed all mainstream support. The final nail in the coffin was when he threw G-Unit "Young Buck" (i.e., the ''other'' legitimately good G-Unit member) under a bus, which included a tape of him crying to 50 Cent during his prison sentence (which Young Buck [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Buck#50_Cent later denied]]). Put all that together, and hardly anybody in the industry wants to be associated with 50 Cent now, and rap fans pretty much ignored him sometime around "Curtis".

* If there's one thing Houston natives loathe, it's the Tennessee Titans. Yes, even nearly a decade after their move to Nashville and renaming, many former Houston Oilers fans will speak such bile about the Titans and their owner, Bud Adams in a manner that might incline one to believe they killed their family and raped their dog. You know this team is so despised when one of the Oilers/Titans' former players, living-legend Earl Campbell, ''protested his number being retired after the move and denounces the very thought of ever being considered a Titan.''

* Cleveland Browns fans have bitter animosity towards the Baltimore Ravens, though for a very good reason: the old Browns organization moved to Baltimore without telling a soul. LeBron James may have caused friction when leaving Cleveland, but at least he's one player, and Clevelanders at least anticipated a worst case scenario with him. But an ''entire'' franchise leaving a city's NFL team to the dust with no indication of an exodus? NO comparison.

** {{YMMV}}, but this troper also thinks it's a case of It's Popular, Now it sucks.

** Cats

** As of the 2010 post-season, [=LeBron=] James. Almost everybody has a reason to dislike him after his free agency period, whether it's warranted or not. [=LeBron=] never put in the effort in the playoffs and ran when that brilliant strategy failed to get him a ring. Clevelanders have a right to be mad, but even so many of their individual reactions (from fans burning their jerseys to the Cavs' owner claiming they'll win a championship before King James ever does) were a little extreme.
*** The hatred's become more prominent since [=LeBron=] has done nothing but rub it in or complain. The fact that he took his talents to South Beach because he wanted a title but later says he doesn't want it to be easy. The fact that he tweeted a baldfaced ''threat'' against everyone who had ever talked about him over the summer. The fact that he blamed the hatred on ''racism'' (in ''basketball'', where ''80%'' of the players are black). The fact that his performance has been extremely poor so far and working with Wade and Bosh seems to only highlight the flaws of all three while eliminating all of their strong points. Even in Miami, people are turning against him.

* If you're a Cubs fan and you happen to be in St. Louis, it's best to keep that to yourself. St. Louisans take their beloved cardinals pretty seriously. The Yankees/Sox rivalry is the one that gets all the press, but the Cards/Cubs rivalry is pretty epic too (yes, we have "Cubs Suck" T-shirts in St. Louis).

* [[FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids freakin' Entertainment]]. There are people who actually like the work for who they are, which are ''overwhelmingly'' outnumbered by those who consider them "awful, soulless demons" (actual quote) who get their gnarled, murderous hands on an anime with a large fandom, stab it several times with a butcher knife the size of the Eiffel Tower, mangle its bloody corpse until it's no longer recognizable, and release the resultant {{Macekre}} into the wild while rubbing their greedy, grubby hands together in anticipation of the endless amounts of cash that will soon pour in while sacrificing the respect of millions. If you don't comprehend this image, you can see an impressive visual enterpretation of what 4Kids does to its dubs [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=145 here]]

* [[FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids freakin' Entertainment]].

There is absolutely ''no'' in-between.

[[Film/The Smurfs The Smurfs movie]] is getting this in droves. On one hand you have the usual "raped my childhood" arguement, on the other hand, there are some people who think that the animation is a major step down for the people who gave us SurfsUp and CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs.

** The YouTube manifestation of Bieber hatedom is such that now there is a new growing hatedom for participants in the Bieber hatedom. This new hatedom is not necessarily composed of Bieber fans, but rather by people who have grown tired of seeing a comment about the singer in nearly every conceivable video on YouTube. In a case of bitter irony, Bieber hatedom has only furthered the problem that led to their creation; the over-saturation of Justin Bieber coverage.

* TV Tropes itself. Go ahead and link any page from TV Tropes onto a message board and watch the fallout from those who feel the site is overly referenced.

* For a game franchise that currently only has five games (six if you're that nostalgic, couting the unreleasted [[VaporWare ''Star Fox 2]], ''StarFox'''s hatedom in regards to the three games released after [[KillerApp ''Star Fox 64'']] is ''massive.'' Generally, anyone who likes the option of on-foot gameplay and something of an actual story is considered a bastard in the eyes of the "on-rails only" fans (who are also the [[NostalgiaFilter heavily nostalgic ones.]]). Then there's the [[ShallowLoveInterest character]] [[ActionGirl Krystal;]] liking her means that you aren't a true fan or are a hapless pervert (her status as a FurryFandom sex symbol ''really'' doesn't help at all...). This applies to some of the other characters that came after 2002 as well.

** Anime fans, especially younger ones, create much of the hate directed toward anime by raving about how all Western Animation is "kiddie cartoons and ''TheSimpsons''" while anime is so much better and "mature" - when most anime is [[PeripheryDemographic actually aimed]] at kids and lonely adults, low-budget and even more merchandise-driven than in the West. One frequently cited reason is that it's not afraid to use cuss words, when most of those are added in by the translators - JapanesePoliteness and ValuesDissonance makes phrases that are quite rude in Japanese seem only mildly insulting in English. The ongoing debate about what can be called anime, especially {{Animesque}} western cartoons, also brings out haters on every side, who generally classify based more on whether they like or hate a show than objective criteria. (While in Japan, "anime" is simply anything not live-action.)
** There are animes made for kids, teenagers, and adults. Not just kids and one sect of adults.
* The sheer amount of jokes about how the ''TheLandBeforeTime'' film series needs to be canceled is staggering (''The Land Before Time One Million: The Meteor Hits'' is a running joke). Funny thing is, TheLandBeforeTime ''has'' been cancelled, but not everyone seems to have gotten the memo. The reason for the cancellation wasn't because the suits thought it should end; it was because Universal shut down their animation department. If not for that, we'd surely have ''The Land Before Time 23: They're Starting to Grow Feathers'' by now.

* ''HarryPotter'' has less of this you might expect, but it's still there. About half HypeBacklash and half [[BrokenBase former fans that are angry about it not going the way they wanted.]] And that's before you factor in the angry shippers.

** PhilipPullman, the guy who wrote HisDarkMaterials, was honestly surprised how much Hatedom Harry Potter has, whereas his series has flown under the radar despiste its critique to organised religion (not that it doesn't have people attacking it, but there aren't as many.) He seems to be succeeding to whip up controversy with TheGoodManJesusAndTheScoundrelChrist.

* Speaking of OprahWinfrey. A good chunk of Australians are starting to become this in regards to her Multi-million dollar Australian holiday (four million of which was provided by the Australian Government). Gripes include: Specially flying an [[Eagleland ''American'']] audience out to take up the first five rows of her special Opera house shows, being ''everywhere'' in the media for two weeks, and finally a video, made for her American audience, and featuring a (minor) Australian celebrity, explaining that in Australia [[TheThemeParkVersion Men are called "Blokes", Women are called "Sheilas"]] and ''[[ProductPlacement everybody hangs out at McDonalds]]'', which is apparently super cool and hip.

* Pop singers like MileyCyrus and the JonasBrothers are getting a lot of scorn lately, especially from Metal fans. Admittedly, they've done very little to appease their Metal fanbase. Successful pop music has ''always'' been the target of vicious hatred from music snobs, from the Jonas Brothers to BritneySpears to the Spice Girls to Color Me Badd to Christopher Cross to {{ABBA}} to {{the Monkees}}. Even TheBeatles got this treatment at first (i.e., before [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible they started doing weird things]]; i.e. before ''Help'', ''Rubber Soul'', or ''Revolver'', depending on who you ask).

** With "Techno" now encompassing a wide number of "in-between genres"; like the "Synth-[genre]" genres; sped-up versions of songs; ubiquitous "techno remixs" like [[MemeticMutation This Is Sparta, Taking the Hobbbits to Isengard, Why is the Rum Gone]]; and several types of similar-sounding electronica, fans are often fighing with each other as to what truely IS Techno. Since there is a "Techno" sub-style for every noch on the Sliding Scale of Musical Hardness, and since everybody has a different opinion, and everyone has their own boundries, nobody is save. It doesn't help that many fans have very STRICT boundries as to what they believe is what. Chaos always ensues. It doesn't help that Techno is a specific subgenre of electronic music, and that as soon as you take a closer look at this mess, you understand that "Sparta Techno Remix" is as far from techno as Lil Jon is close to true Rhythm 'n Blues. And it really annoyes EVEYBODY in electronic music fandoms when one puts everything with a 4/4 beat in the Techno denomination. Common, guys, saying Drum 'n Bass is Techno is like saying Metallica is Rockabilly...
*** The above issue bleeds over into almost every other interest, as "theme-colored" techno pops up, having Heavy-styled Techno listeners screaming "Weeaboo" at the top of their cyberlungs towards things like "Fantasy Trance" Techno.

** Finally, Jumpstyle and {{Dubstep}} have an interesting relationship with Techno. While Jumpstyle is technically Techno, and Dubstep could be considered a heavy Techno-Electronica-Mix Music mashup-genre, both genres have fans that fight hard to distance themselves and their music from the larger Techno category. Jumpstyle fans usually only try to distance themselves because of the "softer" techno Fan Dumb. Dubstep, however has a growing disease towards Techno as a whole. Some fans embrace both genres, some fans say they are the same, and some fans hate techno, calling Dubstep "too different" to be Techno. The Dubstep genre is too young for the issue to be widely apparent, though. These two diputes of Dubstep and Jumpstyle usually boil down a clasification war in the end.
* Of course that {{Dubstep}} is not Techno. Dubstep is right in between Dub, children of the Raggae, and Drum 'n Bass, descendant of the breakbeats. Given the verry heavy and fat basslines, Dubstep appeal a lot to the electro-house fans. Same trope: heavy simple drums, fat basslines. Only the basic groove changes.

* Insane Clown Posse - The world is divided into Juggelos, those who hate Juggelos, and the blissfully ignorant.

* Anything and everything from Japan gets this, especially by [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch people who have never played it]] or [[DidNotDoTheResearch insist all anime is the same which any fan will tell you it isn't]].

*** A big advantage of [[TabletopGames tabletop roleplaying]] over a computer game is that you can incorporate things that computers can't handle (yet, anyway). The 4th Edition combat system basically seems to be designed around making a system that can be plugged directly into an [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame MMORPG]], and in many ways it gets the worst of both worlds as a result (since it doesn't take advantage of the automation that a computer allows ''or'' the flexibility that a human judge can provide). It was also done to create a controllable, standardized tactical game. The grid system Fourth Edition uses is designed to create a system that can easily be applied to a mathematical system to prevent [[LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards the Third Edition problem]]. Oddly enough, it's really hard to put that kind of control into a modern video game due to the slower pace that it requires and the fact that the Fourth Edition combat system lets you use skills in combat time in a way that computers would still have a very difficult time accomplishing (not to say anyone's going to talk the dragon to death).
* Many RPG platers do not like [[FirstPersonShooter FPSes]]. The reasons brought up is that they are allowed to be as much of a tedious and pointless grind as possible but because it's a [[PlayerVersusPlayer PvP]] grind, the cock-measuring excuses the fact they're even simpler than [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame MMORPGs]] and require nothing but a "Win to live" mentality and the ability to push a button and scream obsenities at the microphone. [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame MMORPG]] is a [[PlayerVersusPlayer PvP]] grind?
** Few [[FirstPersonShooter FPSes]] have the 'you must be this tall to have a chance' yardstick, though. [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame MMORPG]]-like elements like the ''TeamFortress2'' alternate weapons are relatively new in [[FirstPersonShooter FPSes]], and still provide a relatively even playing field compared to a new player versus a veteran in, say, ''WorldOfWarcraft''. This exists in [[FirstPersonShooter FPSes]] too. It's called "Camping".
* Never, ever try and defend any ''[[SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]]'' game made between the orginal trio to SonicColors, or you will get flamed to a crisp. Most of the handhelds, both ''{{Sonic Adventure}}s'' and ''SonicUnleashed'' get a pass... sometimes.

* If not actually more inferno-like, then only slightly behind the ever-burning ConsoleWars is the recent "Casual versus Hardcore gamers" war. "Hardcore" gamers have absolutely nothing but vicious contempt if you should so much as look at a game that doesn't require a heavy investment in time and practice and is absolutely, unrelentingly ''unforgivable'' about failure. Heaven forbid you should declare that you actually ''like'' ''Peggle''. You will be lynched; only grammaws and morons play ''Peggle''. On the flip side, "Casual" gamers are, well, casual and the vast majority don't even know this raging conflict is in play.

* {{Wii}} peripherals; everything from sports equipment-shaped shells to a shell resembling a sword and shield to the gun-shaped Wii Zapper gets shit just for adding no additional functionality to the Wii Remote.

** Possibly justified in one case. Madden tends to earn itsf hatred, with less and less innovation each time around. As well, reusing sound clips. Over. And OVER. It shouldn't get to the point seen [[http://www.cracked.com/article_15902_15-most-annoying-video-game-characters-from-otherwise-great-games.html here]], or as found in another article, where eventually the player screams at the screen, "Eat me, John! JUST EAT ME!" out of near-rage from hearing the same clip repeated for about the 50th time in the same 10 minute period. Shame the article where the writer did just that is something that currently eludes me.

** The fact that the company has announced it's laying off over a thousand employees and shuttering several developers hasn't earned them any fans either.

* ''MegaManBattleNetwork'' and ''MegaManStarForce'' get a ton of flak because they don't resemble the ''Game/MegaMan'' or ''MegaManX'' games at all (despite quite a few [[{{Expy}} expies]] in Battle Network). You can't like any X series game beyond X3 (and sometimes X4). Haters also bash the series because of CapcomSequelStagnation, even though ''Mega Man 9'' was praised for the same reason.

*** The reverse is also true amongst a few, who enjoy the anime's take on the games more than the games themselves.
** There are many out there who decry everything after the second generation games and say that it's only getting worse as they produce more generations.....as they buy said games. The hatred seems to have come to a head with the new fifth generation. Many hating the new generation for the sole purpose that they think the new Pokemon are ugly. There is even a particularly idiotic HateDumb who refuse to buy the games based ''solely'' on this. Considering the fact that the Pokemon ARE the MAIN focus of the game, wouldn't that be justified? Made even more so is that until you beat a fifth generation game, you're forced to use solely fifth gen Pokemon.

** Many, MANY more people hate ''{{Touhou}}'' on the claim of {{lolicon}}... continuously failing to realize that ZUN's art style does not show how old any of the female characters are. (Yukari, for instance, is officially drawn as a non-loli character in later games. The only characters that are ''always'' drawn as lolis are Rumia, Cirno, Remilia, Flandre, Chen, Tewi, Suika, and Kisume. A few more are also occasionally drawn as lolis. That sounds like a lot until you realize there are over [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters a hundred]] characters.) In body, anyways. Fighting game fans hate the fighters on basis of bullet spam, even though that's the CORE component of the game.

** Implying that these tropes aren't as, if not more, prevalent in today's games, and that older soundtracks were bad. NobuoUematsu, man, Nobuo Uematsu.
** A lot of this is fueled by NostalgiaFilter. Mention to them that the above was just as prevalant in previous times, and you will see A lot of denial.
