5	A {{Fandom}} that is dedicated to hating a work or author, instead of celebrating it. Sometimes they view the work as SoBadItsGood (to the ire of more traditional fans); at other times, they just loathe it outright, but enjoy making fun of it. Some works have the dubious honor of producing hatedoms larger than their traditional fanbase.

7	Of course, for optimal snark it's best to have actually read/watched/played/listened to some of the hated work, but some people have gone so far as to produce derivative works capable of standing on their own with only a general knowledge of the original. On the other side of the equation are people that view the work several times over, memorize all the [[AllThereInTheManual supplemental minutae]], and [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotDidactic write senior thesis level dissertations over the underlying themes and structure]] because [[SeriousBusiness they hate it so much]].

9	In cases where members of a Hatedom also hate the ''fans'' of said work, they would be {{Fan Hater}}s. It should also be noted that a Fan Hater isn't necessarily a member of a Hatedom; it is quite possible to be a fan and hate other fans of said work, a phenomenon that can also be blamed on the FanDumb (i.e. being exposed to too much of it). Fans of a work are likely to view its Hatedom as a HateDumb.

11	When you hate something that's from another country it's AmericansHateTingle. When you hate something that wasn't aimed at you in the first place it's a PeripheryHatedom. Typically, works that are more well-known are more likely to produce a Hatedom. After all, it's much easier to ignore more obscure works that you happen to dislike -- and, if not many people have not even ''heard'' of the work, then finding a fellow hater to commiserate with would be next to impossible. Thus, this trope is closely related to HypeBacklash.
12
13	If it's only a character that has the hatedom, what you've got is TheScrappy. If the fanbase hates the character but the creators love it, you have a CreatorsPet.
