Things that get no (very little) hate

[Mr.Numbers]

The show Dexter, haven't heard a single person hate on that yet.

I loathe Dexter...Can't stand that show.

Santa? Ben Yahtzee Croshaw?

Satan: No-one truly hates him, they are all too busy fearing him.

Portal? GlaDos? That quirky music, Still Alive?

Metallica....

Edit: b4 i get in trouble for a low content post, I think they are crap but seem to stand alone on it.

Lol I can't think of a more polarising metal band....

They lost a ton of fans after releasing their "black" album, gained a load more at the same time mind.

But are you forgetting St Anger? Jeez, I saw them stop halfway through a concert and apologised for releasing it...

Your arguing long hair v short hair Metallica in essence. I think all of it is crap or atleast the vast majority of it. I am a metal/rocker and am ostracized for thinking the collection of their work is crap... not from a certain point forward.

 

[Acidwell]

This thread has too much sarcasm

OT:
Plants Vs Zombies
Lemmings. As well as bioware, minecraft and valve, they may have some people who dislike them but you have to be honest and say they do get very little

OT: Umm... Neil Patrick Harris? I've never heard anyone say they don't like him. =P

While I have a pretty big man crush on him personally, he's gay so there are plenty of people who will hate him just for that. Awful, awful people. Also I've seen a few snarky websites complaining about him hosting so many award shows with a little too much enthusiasm.

(Off topic but this reminds me, did anyone watch the Spike TV gaming awards? The whole thing was so terrible and Neil looked visibly uncomfortable delivering some of the stuff that was written for him. Even I was uncomfortable during his acceptance of the award for his voice work and I was only watching it.)

I'm not sure there's anything or anyone that doesn't get some degree of hate. It is in our nature to destroy ourselves.

I'll take a shot at picking something though I expect to be proven wrong within a few posts.

Batman: Arkham Asylum? I haven't seen anyone hating on it and I'm not sure why anyone would.

 

[Gorgenflail]

The ending credits after a REALLY bad movie.. the relief that its finally over

 

[Cogwheel]

Not a great deal of hate for 40k, which I can understand. It's fairly amusing.

Hm... Iji, Discworld and Planescape: Torment (somewhat less so for that last one, apparently there are too many words for some people) all fit the bill.

 

[DP155ToneZone]

If Anime was a religion; it's followers would destroy nations at a whim(not that religions don't already).

I really fucking loathe Anime, so you can put me down as a hater.

 

[The Wykydtron]

Dragonage Origins seems to get next to no hate... But the sequel has been flamed so hard it's basically in the heart of the sun and it's not even out yet...

Yeah i don't get it either.

Also Keima from TWGOK, most unhateable character evar!

I'm not sure about that. 40k gets plently of hate for being too GRIMDARK and over the top. If my name/avatar didn't point this out already, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Warhammer 40k with all my fanboy heart but I know there are plently of people who disagree, strongly.

Combat in Planescape was really, really bad and it starts very slowly. I can understand people not liking it. That being said It's in my top 5 best video games ever made. Chris Avellone is the greatest writer in video game history.

The Escapist? I have yet to see someone outright say they don't like this site; here or elsewhere.

I thought it being grimdark and over the top was rather the point. I mean, the whole setting is practically a self-parody already.

And yeah, combat in Planescape was bad, but you often don't have to bother with it (except Curst, raaaaage) and there are some incredibly flashy spells. Hardly perfect, but it's amazing all the same. It's when I see criticism about poor story that I get really confused. Again, the most common complaint has nothing to do with gameplay, oddly enough, and everything to do with "I hate words, give me less of them". I hear the phrase "if I wanted to read, I wouldn't be playing a game" thrown around an awful lot.

And Chris Avellone... no. I don't think so. Writer of the best story, certainly, but not best writer. He did Baldur's Gate, which I dislike, but can recognize as good, and also... a few other things. See, he's gone back and said that PS:T was very much a mistake on his part, and one he doesn't want to repeat, ever. He's happier with his work on, say, Icewind Dale. So apparently he can be a great writer but prefers being awful or something.

The beatles. Yeah, I said it.

I hate the Beatles.

Re: 40k, I guess some people just like to choose obvious targets for their hate. I don't get it, but I do see it.

Re: Chris Avellone, I had not seen him say that about Planescape. That is disquieting. However, he has gone on to write some very good stuff since then. KOTOR II springs to mind. Unfinished as that game may be, the writing is excellent.

Though, I have read some interviews with him in which he says he will never write a downer ending (I think he actually said 'Empire Strikes Back ending') like he did for that game again, which makes me sad.

I just really like the way he tends to make narratives inward journeys and the way he writes horribly messed up relationships. You just don't see that in many games.

Nintendo 64 !!!

No reason to hate it!

 

[AmbushIntheDark]

Indie-anythings.

I've never come across hate for an independent game, band/song or movie. They all seem remarkably praised for their artistic quality, individualism, deep personal meaning, structure, moral, intellectualism etc. etc.

Mass Effect.

I've yet to encounter anyone besides me who doesn't like that game.

Me, me! I dislike Bioware, Mass Effect especially.

... Why, exactly?
I hated ME1 for it's goddarn stupid AI, but ME2 was great.

Why Mass Effect especially? The storyline, the voice acting, the characters, the AI, the gameplay. Why Bioware as a whole? Their storylines, their voice acting, their characters, their AI and their gameplay.

Mass Effect just seems the biggest offender in their armoury of games to me. So far.

You said exactly what I was thinking.


GET OUT OF MY HEAD

 

[imudkip]

The show "Arrested Development".

 

[Nexus4]

Final Fantasy 13 gets a ton of "love". Lots of people "love" this game. I for one love this game as well.

Trust me there are a lot of haters out there, many of them also reside here

 

[Casual Shinji]

Toy Story 3.

Then again, every newly released Pixar movie is hailed as the most astounding emotional cinematic experience in the entire universe.
Even when it's not really that good at all (WALL-E, Up).

Futurama.

I always feel blindsided by the amount of praise this show gets, and I can't find myself to be interested in it for even a minute.

 

[Axzarious]

Megas XLR. Robot Unicorn Attack. Both have garnered no hate from both Encyclopedia Dramatica, and 4chan. Among the most hateful places on the internet.
