Why do so many people are the internet hate anime

I’m not talking about disliking it. I’m talking about when someone brings it up or sees it, the hater goes haywire. A common tendency with humans is that they tend to dislike things they don’t know a lot about, is that why? Or is it cause the weird ones get put it memes so people see it as bad?

There are fewer of those than you think.

There's a few reasons for the hate. If a group of persons likes a thing, whatever that is, they often
are depicted as the most extreme stereotype of said group.
Anime lovers are basically considered as fat-ugly-virgins because some people who watch anime are fat and like lolicon crap. The internet being what it is, saying that you like anime condemn you to be assimilated to this simplistic but easy to use definition that will make people refer to you as a "weaboo" or whatever is the exact term. The same behaviour can be seen for a lot of other things though.

I agree with Start_Running, there's not a lot of people who hate anime most just do it for a quick reaction others just hate anime and happen to be a vocal minority.

Hate anime? I doubt that there’s that many people, if anything there are more trolls that want a quick reaction(because the anime community is really soft and easily provoked when compared to any other).

The only reason I’d say I dislike is anime is that breast size and physics are way too unrealistic and over used, and that “At school new kid romance” is way too common. If there was an over abundance of anime like One Piece or even like Dragon Ball, anime would have more of a mainstream appeal, but from an outsider perspective it just looks perverted.

It's usually less about hating the anime itself and more hating the fandom.

Unfortunately the anime fandoms have the very bad habit of either ramming it down other people's throats or throwing a complete fit if someone else is not into a specific anime.

Most people don't, but there's always that one oddball who just has to be contrarian in order to feel any self-worth.

Who knows.

I once wanted to check out Doki Doki because of its huge popularity, and some friends of mine said "Are you autistic? Delete that weeb ♥♥♥♥". I don't know what the fuss is about, i guess some people have deep hatred for most unimportant things.
