Yes, hate is a strong word but one that has shocked people.

• I don't like babies, and I do not think they are cute.

Okay, this one has gotten me in trouble in the past for saying that, and well...:

 

• They are messy.
• Noisy as hell!
• Helpless.
• I think all kids have the ugly baby phase
• I have no motherly bone in my body, even as a female flesh bag.
• They COST a lot of money 

Now, this, for both females and males, has tended to kind of dully shock some souls. But I just never wanted to have kids and still have no wish. It's a personal choice I made years ago, and yes, some people have tried to "force" me to see this as a mistake on more than one conversation and be like, "Oh, once that clock starts ticking, you will want one, and etc., etc..... That has never happened...
 

I love babies but I do find it hilarious when people be like “ISNT HE CUTE?” And it’s just a squished faced potato x3

but I still love it cause it means people loved you even when you were just a squished potato bean

as for me.. ehh hate? Not really but sports is something I don’t get. Everyone’s losing their minds and buying merch and screaming and I’m like .. “maybe we can play sports and not just sit there and watch it? ^^”

Ohhh alcohol! I went to this pool party and the bartender was making drinks — with alcohol! Blegh!! 
so I steal some cherries for my (non alcoholic) drink and.. eewww they were doused in alcohol!! 
perfectly good cherries.. corrupted! Just like perfectly good beverages Dx

This is very American centric, so my apologies. But I’ve never liked pickup trucks. Unless you have a reason to own one, like for towing, I don’t see the point. Less gas efficient than any other vehicle, more expensive to purchase, harder to park, harder to see other cars and pedestrians, tires are more expensive, they’re (generally) not as fun to drive and in exchange you get… a higher ride height and a bed most people don’t use? I’ve never seen the appeal.

Haha! But you can load a ton of shit (literally) into your trunk. And that's priceless

I'm happy to hear that some of my friends here don't drink  I don't care about it, either, and I always thought it smelled gross!

I'll tell you another thing that I can't stand that most people I guess don't care about: doing things last minute. I need to mentally prepare to hangout with people (at least in person) not only so I have the energy, but so I can find wherever I'm supposed to go since I'm incredibly directionally challenged. I guess some people don't need to do all this extra thinking so they're fine to just drop everything and go.

I'm kind of the same way.  Spontaneity has never worked out well for me in the past, and because of that I like to have a plan in place when I'm going to do anything.  Even just a general plan for the day helps things move along better for me.

 

Oh, and bananas.  I absolutely cannot stand the taste of bananas.

[Raskolnikov 1,716]

Ditto on the unexpected unplanned stuff. I need at least a day's notice to adjust my expectations otherwise I either won't do the thing, or I will be varying degrees of grumpy while doing it lol

[Sparklefan1234 179,556]

I don't understand drinking either, why would you want the dizzy, sick feeling and the MASSIVE headache? 

 

 

 

I guess drinking makes you a "better" karaoke singer and dancer?

I expect him to tend to the bar and get me a Shirley Temple. With friendship on the side, yes. Good idea.

My thing is that in a lot of cultures and society in general, they think if you're female, you need to have a baby to freaking complete and fulfill that role in life to be happy. Not all women/females want to have kids... it's not our main freaking reason for living!

 

Humid and hot weather,  I'm freaking hate it!

In theory I can appreciate that people like watching but I don't see why it matters so much that people they've never met won or lost a game. I think it's especially funny when fans say "we won!" Really? You were playing?

Exactly! Alcohol is stuff that's been left to rot, it's just disgusting. People convince themselves that it tastes good because they like how it makes them stupid.

[Sparklefan1234 179,556]

Pixar and Dreamworks* (*Not really a fan.) animated movies haven't piqued my interest much in years except their fairly recent "Inside Out 2" and "The Wild Robot". 

[Do svidaniya 2,042]

I don't like Disney or Marvel, and I don't like a lot of popular TV shows like Game of Thrones. Vikings, etc. 

(Overly) sexual humour is also a massive put off. 

[Retro*Derpy 3,325]

I'm going to go with cheesecake. My entire family LOVES cheesecake yet I can't stomach any of it. Same goes with tea. I wish I actually liked tea but I can't stand any of the flavors.

[ExplosionMare 21,317]

Can't stand coffee. I tried so hard to like it but it's just way too bitter for me.

Coffee, like alcohol, is a social thing. Neither tastes good but people force themselves to like it because if you don't you're a pariah. I've never tried to like either because I just don't care.

 

 

I don't completely hate them but something I think is massively overrated is strawberries. The flavor's nothing special and you have to dump a ton of sugar on them to make them palatable. The only other fruit I can think of that needs added sugar is lemons but lemonade is really delicious. Strawberry juice, no thanks.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you after one (1) encounter with underwhelming strawberries as a toddler that left me soured on them forevermore which must have gravely disappointed my mother (), but I also do wonder if that has to do with the quality of their source. Apples and ESPECIALLY tomatoes are guilty of being near inedible from supermarkets and chemically tasting, but homegrown can taste like an entirely different fruit. I cannot overstate that... so I wonder if poor strawberries are also guilty of this phenomenon.

Literally me after trying a fresh tomato straight from the vine after only knowing supermarket tomatoes.

[papermare 60]

tamers. no idea if anyone else has mentioned it, but yes. tamers.
i did watch a few videos from him, found it enjoyable at first, but then it just got old very quick.. and it seems 95% of his fanbase are young kids or people my age that have the same mentality of a 6 year old or an edgy 12 year old

especially the sparklemoon character that rose in popularity. saw someone in a server im in HATE on this character, then 2 days later made said character their entire personality. person also acts like a 12 year old. 

i cannot stand the show nor the fanbase for it

I've heard that strawberries were better a long time ago before they were selectively bred to be bigger. And I know there are different species but the ones from grocery stores that I've had don't impress me at all.

Tomatoes are another thing I'm not big on so I've never really compared different kinds. I like them in things and I love ketchup, spaghetti sauce, etc. but I've never compared different kinds of tomatoes.

I am pretty sure that I hate the idea of romance at this point. It just seems so exhausting to try and find someone to be that level of vulnerable with when there's always a risk that they could be not worth your time in the end. I just don't understand romance in general and feel like I am just better off without it at this point since I can't just force myself to understand it.

[Pandora 38,545]

mint chocolate? it just tastes weird.. [nowadays i can't have mint anyway cause my body makes me feel sick from mint]

[ExplosionMare 21,317]

Yogurt. The smell is so horrible and rotten! I hate when people eat it around me but it would be rude to dictate what people can and cannot eat.

Television shows have ruined my perception of romantic relationships to the point where I think, why bother? 

 I know "drama" etc. but television makes romantic relationships look like such a hassle because all they seem do is focus on the negative parts like cheating.

Agreed, the way any kind of relationships are portrayed on TV tend to be so... skewed for a lack of better term, and especially considering it seems not enough people receive healthy modeling from their own families, those depictions are just another way this stuff unconsciously influences what people expect out of a romantic relationship. It seems shows that show healthier dynamics, or at least appropriate conflict resolution, are rare. It's not that I expect everything to be educational to the point of being sterile but right now things are heavily leaning towards really, really bad depictions and equally twisted "moral lessons" within those shows that seem to encourage excusing cruelty, breaking boundaries "for your own good" (if you hear this phrase anywhere, RUN) or handing out endless forgiveness in regards to abuse.

Anyway!! Whoops. But yeah, growing up being on the asexual/aromantic spectrum meant I always shook my head at how absurd all those show depictions of romance are... once you are out of the equation and are merely on the outside looking in you start to think, holy shit how crazy is all this?

I don't understand the fascination with watching other people playing sports either. I can understand enjoying watching sports though if that makes sense.

I like yogurt. I've learned that I like it better plain without the fruit bits in it.
