I said people who disparage x
when it comes up in conversation for no particular reason.
That doesn't mean they bring up the topic for no reason. It means that when the topic is brought up they'll look for every opportunity to dish out the negativity. I mean, I've also met people who've brought up islam in casual conversation at weddings so they could talk ****... they definitely do exist.. but that's not what I'm talking about.
You don't necessarily have to be cognizant of your animus. Like when people tell jokes / find humor in gay/race jokes that don't actually have a punchline besides that it paints the group they have animosity for in a negative light. These people generally don't think they're racist/homophobic/whatever... they just think the jokes are funny. Do they bring it up out of nowhere? Probably not. But maybe they happen to see a black guy walking down the street, and it reminds them of a joke they heard a while back.
But there're also higher functioning people who on forums like this understand where the line is drawn for socially acceptable behavior, where the pathology will instead result in them trying to bring the group down a peg by splitting hairs to criticize any post that paints them in a positive light, and will always somehow overlook dumb posts as long as they're critical of that group. Just like how you certain SJW-ish posters will, in every thread, come to the defense of anyone on the "right" side of an issue even if they happen to be arguing it terribly, and refuse to criticize the views of any poster who they think is a "good" person.
You really don't think there're haters on here? There're a lot of people out there who have miserable lives showing up every day to work jobs that they think are beneath them. They're just itching for an opportunity to assert their dominance.
