Amen.

That’s one type of hater, the most common kind

There’s another kind, much rarer but much more volatile. This second kind legitimately loathes the IP in question. They aren’t ignorant, they don’t lack understanding. They’ve seen the IP, sat through several episodes trying to see if maybe, just maybe it was an acquired taste. But eventually became clear that no, they don’t like it now and they will never like it. They harbor genuine hatred, and the very sight of the IP makes their blood boil. They try to ignore it, just live and let live, but they can’t. They can’t escape it either because it’s too common or just sheer bad luck

They are true haters, beyond the hope of any love, tolerance, friendship, etc.

I know this because I was once one of them, long ago, before I had ever heard of MLP:FiM…
