Reply #26: Hatertainment

[jobycom]

The affliction of feeling enjoyment by belittling and hating people in the entertainment industry based on either a) a story that makes people think they know something true about the entertainer, or b) the hater's not appreciating the entertainer's work, or sometimes just not liking the entertainer's audience. Some believe this condition is caused by jealousy, others by not having been hugged enough as a child. Some experts believe it is simply a symptom of hating something about themselves, and transfering it to a popular figure, perhaps because they themselves are jealous of that popularity.

Those afflicted with hatertainment generally try to defend themselves, and seem unable to accept their condition. Their defense usually consists of repetative proclamations in increasingly foul language of the entertainer's unworthiness, as though it somehow affected the hatertainer personally.

There is no known cure, other than ignoring those afflicted in the hopes that the disease will fade with maturity.
