The Sims 4. As soon as that shit got officially showcased i was a hater. Felt gaslighted by the community for years, and now most people hate it too lmao.
I hated Elon Musk well before he got involved with Trump. It was obvious to me that there was something deeply wrong and evil about that man. People keep falsely assuming rich = smart. Elon is proof that's not true.
I hated Beanie Babies when it first became a craze. The company who made these stuffed toys had full control over their value and was deliberately causing shortages & errors to drive up perceived value.
I hate NFTs and cryptocurrency for the same reasons I hated Beanie Babies. I advised my sister against investing her savings into cryptocurrency, but she wouldn't listen. She lost everything.
And now I hate what Nintendo is doing with the Switch 2. I can see the writing on the wall, this is a shameless cash grab using deeply unethical anti-customer tactics.
Entitled middle aged women (Karens). I started ranting about them in 2007, I guess.
Twitter. Have hated it since it launched and stayed the fuck away from using it until I had a teacher who demanded I make a Twitter profile for a specific workshop. I still regret all these years later that I caved and did as she said. I should have just kept telling her no. Other than that, I have stayed away from that platform and when Felon Muskrat bought it I had no opinions on it because at the time I just saw him as a goofy edge lord and why wouldn't he want to buy the goofiest platform on the internet?
But well, at least he has made most of the rest of the world realize how terrible Twitter is as a social media platform. It always was and it always will be. Fuck that place. I genuinely hope he runs it into the ground completely and that it dies.
Too bad new alternatives have sprung up in the meantime.
I still think it is utterly embarrassing that politicians around the world use these types of crappy as fuck platforms to communicate with the public. I cannot take any of them seriously. It is pathetic and embarrassing.

I never liked the Twilight books when they were just books
