My uncharitable pet theory is this: a certain class of people who are deeply unhappy with themselves don't like to see other people enjoying things they don't like or understand because they themselves have not filled this void in their own lives. Because these people need to seek out confirmation from a larger group on everything they do to compensate for their own lack of of self perceived self worth, and because gender or race are the largest groups available, they need to frame everything in term of a group struggle regarding race or gender to guarantee there is a built in audience to cheer them on at every step and reaffirm their worth and place in the social hierarchy. It's gross. Also I hate IPAs.
