What kinds of things (books, music, characters) do you like, secretly or not, which have large hatedoms?

I think Hydra Trash Party is the most hated thing I've enjoyed, fandom-wise.

lesbians

Not really a hatedom, but I didn't think The Cursed Child was nearly as bad as a lot of people said, and I also think 50% of the people saying it sucked just read the spoilers on reddit or LJ. (Which pisses me off because while the spoilers... weren't entirely wrong, they were phrased to make the play look like the worst thing ever.)

Snape. But I like the Marauders too. It seems to be a huge either-or thing in HP fandom though.

I don't think it really has to be. I think all of them were hugely flawed, and I think Snape and the Marauders instigated each other.

I mean, when I re-read PoA for the 10th time (but for the first time with my fandom-colored glasses off), I really didn't come away with the impression that the Marauders were supposed to be the Fantastic Five at all. The way it comes across is that while they did a lot of awesome things, they also screwed up epically, which in the end led to their demise. So I don't think we're supposed to think they were worse than Snape, but I do think we're supposed to realize that they were imperfect.

I used to be on the James Potter is a Butttrumpet bandwagon, but now I love him (come at me anti-James anon)

Country music (I live for that shit man). Generic supermarket bodice-rippers. Licorice.

I applaud your multi-faceted dedication.

Mel Gibson. His movies are amazing.

I don't think it's the movies people hate, to be honest.

Moffat's Doctor Who. Clara Oswald (but only with 12). The Eleventh Doctor. The Star Wars prequels. John Carter. Pompeii.

Pompeii gets hate? Why? Too touristy?

IA with you when it comes to DW, Clara, 11th Doctor and the prequels. Haven't seen the other two. Maybe I should?

Carlie Cooper.

Hillary Clinton.

Oh. Um. Yeah I guess Snape. Or pink. Or children? Children are pretty cool.

Lots of Japanese stuff with pointless fanservice or casual sexism. I have a relatively high tolerance for that stuff if it accompanies something I'm actually interested in.

Several video game characters. For example, I adore Tidus from FFX, Miranda is my my favourite teammate across all of Bioware games and I have a lot of respect for Anora and Vivienne.
There's more, but it's 2 am and I'm too sleepy to recall them all.

Briony from Atonement. I think it helps that I don't really care that much about Robbie and Cecilia's relationship.

Showgirls. And not in an ironic way. I majored in literature so I'm usually prety confident about recognizing if something is well-written or constructed, but nobody seems to agree with me on this one. except for my BFF who introduced me to it, but she has shit taste in all kinds of stuff, anyway.
