To be a Hater, you must go at it alone. You must be known as "the guy who hates XYZ" in your friend group. If everyone in that group falls under that umbrella, then you've got yourself a crab bucket. Not even in a "getting help" sense, you'll just feed off each other in an endless cycle wasting too much of your time until that's all you ever talk about.

If you've ever seen subreddits dedicated to venting/problems or being critical of something, you'll understand why. Normal people say their piece and move on. They won't stick around for long. However, in order for those subs to be maintained and its community to remain active, you need to have regulars keeping the ball rolling. When that happens day in and day out with no breaks, that's just a downwards spiral, mister.

Ranting to friends who don't actually give a shit is key. Their zen attitude grounds you back to reality, and your disdain for shit that doesn't matter is amusing from the sidelines. For me: One friend is "the one who hates Fourth Wing." Another is "the one who hates Danganronpa." I'm "the guy who hates Legend of Korra." We all have our own niche, and by maintaining a variety of haters who don't all agree, we cultivate a welcoming environment of complaining.

#btw when i say i hate legend of korra i mean it has a lot of promise and multitude of flaws and dumb decisions #yes decisions caused in part by their development problems but they also responded to said problems poorly #(pay attention to how much the story breaks up the cast; especially at the start of a book; and keep track how long until theyre reunited)#(for a show that's working with less episodes than atla and doesnt know if its getting another season;#it does break up our heroes way too much and wastes times getting them back in the same room again)#(how often does the last airbender break up its cast? like they dont eat or sleep in close proximity?#zuko is pretty separate from them but also often serves as a villain much of the time)#(this writing decision is why i dont actually believe korra's main cast even likes each other)#(legend of korra doesnt need them all pissing in the same toilet but every book begins with them doing their own fuckin thing)#(i remember watching book 3 and reaching a point where theyre finally united thinking ''finally the core dynamic is together''#right before the red lotus kidnaps korra and breaks them up again)#(they also waste a lot of time introducing villains. limited clock people. you already need to get 4 people in the same room #and now youre getting way too into the politic beliefs of a guy who's gonna die in the end)#you can have complex villains but you dont need them all the time. hell; even ozai was simpler despite having 3 20 ep books to work with
