I think some people will reject criticism by calling someone a hater. Like, if you point out legitimate concerns about their favorite game or movie they’ll say “you’re just a hater” so they don’t have to do the emotionally challenging work of considering flaws in their favored things.
We’re all emotional creatures and things like the backfire effect affect us all, but some people seem exclusively emotion driven
You ever seen a gender reveal party raided by police?
Yeah, sometimes when they use those random pink/blue smoke explosive things, some of the neighbors mistake it for gunshots. I’ve seen that happen before…
Like who really cares about the baby’s junk, except maybe close family offering gender specific gifts to the parents? Damn, they can keep that private within their family right??
i like the cut of your jib, but are people really down on ‘hater’?

Apparently some people are. Not myself, but some overly sensitive people apparently don’t like the word ‘hate’ anymore.
Sigh, I grew up when my elders said ‘sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me’
🤷
so can we call them hater haters?
Yes, if you want to open up a Pandora’s Box of protest anger rage.
Some people dislike the very words that express their own attitude towards life. Isn’t it ironic?..
like rain on your gender reveal party, or some such morrisette.

Is “being down on something” negative?
Actually, maybe I’m confusing it with “being down with”
indeed.
down for = ready to party
down on = looking upon with disapproval
down with = partying together like it’s 1999
