So... this trope merely existing seems to be kind of a jerk move on the part of the site. It\'s basically become this sprawling mass of so many potential sources of dislike that it\'s not particularly meaningful as a distinct concept, more a mishmash of several different ideas and responses.

So... this trope merely existing seems to be kind of a jerk move on the part of the site. It\\\'s basically become this sprawling mass of so many potential sources of dislike that it\\\'s not particularly meaningful as a distinct concept, more a mishmash of several different ideas and responses. It seems like the only purpose of this page is for every guy and their dog to link it on the YMMV page of works they like to denounce those who don\\\'t share that opinion. I mean, \\\"Hating and insisting on the removal of The Scrappy,\\\" is basically the entire reason that trope exists. But now doing that is apparently Hate Dumb behavior?

Showing up and saying stupid or disingenuous stuff to annoy fans is near enough the core of trolling. Actually hating a work for whatever reason and forming a behavior around it is Hatedom. I don\\\'t think we need a way to combine, much less EQUATE, the two. The fact that this page is much, much longer than Hatedom and is mostly consumed by a list of reasons why \\\"YOU ARE STUPID AND SHOULD FEEL STUPID\\\" is a little alarming.
