We all know RealMenHateAffection, right? Well, you wanna know who else hates affection? Kids-- of both sexes, generally between the ages of about three and twelve.
These are the children who shout, "Ewww!" when they see people hugging or kissing, complain about stories that contain hugging or kissing (especially at the end), and protest if someone (usually a relative) tries to hug or kiss them.
Sometimes they find it [[EasilyEmbarrassedYoungster embarrassing]] (especially if it's [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents their parents doing it]]), sometimes they find it boring (especially in the case of stories, e.g. "Stop kissing and get back to the plot!"). Maybe [[GirlsHaveCooties they hate the idea of them finding the opposite sex attractive]], or even [[AllergicToLove feel outright sick]]. Maybe they actually don't mind it, but are [[ParalyzingFearOfSexuality also incredibly shy about admitting it]]. Other times they feel they're too old to be hugged/kissed/etc but other times, they just find it disgusting for no particular reason.
Often used to contribute to emotional scenes by [[EveryoneHasStandards establishing that even they want a hug/don't mind seeing people hug]] because the moment is just that sweet, or conversely, add comic relief to an emotional scene by having them complain about the mushiness.
Compare and contrast HatesBeingTouched-- most Affection Hating Kids do hate hugs, but it's not the touching aspect that bugs them so much as the affectionate aspect. Contrast PuppyLove, FilleFatale, and DirtyKid. These kids are the most easily sickened by the SickeningSweethearts and are prone to ParentalSexualitySquick. May be a BrattyHalfPint or a MouthyKid and can also overlap with HatesBeingCalledCute.
