Periphery Hatedom is supposed to be about which kinds of people hate the show. Instead, people are just listing shows that are unpopular. They give little context to why the shows are hated beyond reasons why it apparently sucks. The description makes itself very clear that this is not how the trope is to be used either. Arguably, this could also be considered as a case of complaining too, but I'm gonna go with misuse for now because I'm not sure if the examples are actually posted by people who hate the shows.

Here's some of the worst:

  • Chop Socky Chooks, for having useless villains and for having the main characters look NOTHING like chickens. The name sounding like a possible Asian racial slur to those without an easy reference to the Chinese derivation of 'chook' really doesn't help either.
  • Sit Down, Shut Up for having stupid humor, ugly character designs, and being sickeningly boring.
  • Scaredy Squirrel for the same reasons as Yakkity Yak. Also hated by Nintendo fans because one of the recurring antagonists resembles Petey Piranha (but with blonde hair).
  • By the time Rebel Taxi and The Mysterious Mr. Enter mentioned The Nutshack, the show had finally became a target to this trope. Mainly because of the immature writing and being a stereotype to every adult cartoon ever made.
  • The Brothers Flub falls into this due to its horrendous theme song, trippy and random humor, and ugly-looking characters. Those reasons might have something to do with the show being so dang obscure.
  • The Monsters vs. Aliens TV series for being another useless tie-in for Dreamworks Animation and having significantly less well-done CGI than its film proper.
  • Mr Meaty gets a TON of this, mainly because of the fact that it's a Gross-Out Show with Food Porn and ugly puppets.
  • Rocket Monkeys for its excessive grossout humour, unappealing visuals and animation, and having one of the worst cases of Designated Hero in Western Animation.
  • Yakkity Yak for being a Widget Series and having everyone in the show (except Keo the Pineapple) be a complete moron, or unlikable, or a completely unlikable moron.
  • Hopla is bashed for its Limited Animation and boring set-up despite being for infants. (Another case of "Just because it's for kids, it doesn't mean you can half-ass it.")

You might have noticed I took all the examples from the Western Animation and Nickelodeon categories. That would be because they are the absolute worst of the bunch.

Seriously, the page needs some major cleanup.
