MODERATORS
I can't say I hate anyone that distant from me unless they have the ability to do bad things at scale. Most celebrities can't.
Hate is a very personal thing for me. Anger, less so. Disgust, certainly applicable to celebrities. But hate, it has to be something huge to make that rise in me.
Usually, that's only going to happen when a celebrity crosses into power, usually via politics. I don't consider politicians as celebrities just by virtue of being well known.
So, I think you can kinda guess the kind of people that do enough nastiness to spark hate for me. The trumps and musks of the world, the rowlings.
Ngl though, I'm not sure how casual this can be. I can't do casual hate. Hate, for me, is very distinctly not casual, even on the scale of famous people I'll never have a reason or opportunity to give my hate to. I can't just hate some asshole for cutting me off in traffic, or flipping me off. That's just annoyance or anger. Hate is a thing of lasting enmity and malice. The kind of thing that lasts even after the person is no longer in a position to do anything like what caused the hate in the first place.
On a real level, hate is a willingness to do very unpleasant things to a person. Not in the moment, as a flash of anger. It's a thing to make that person suffer just because they're so vile it outweighs any moral or ethical considerations.
That's not something to indulge in lightly.
