Genuine question. Do people here overall seem to hate Pokemon or do they act like edgy haters in order to feel special and stand out among the people who actually like the series?

If that is the case, I have another question: what is the point of pretending to hate something you actually like? And if that is not the case, what is the point of visiting a board that centers around something you hate?

I'm just curious whether the "haters" here are genuine haters, or if they just act like that for shits and giggles?
