Careful believing whenever HN / Reddit tells you something is bad. It's a similar group behavior to how towns can form a hate for the opposing town's soccer team. In that case, it can get so carried away as to lead to physical violence between the groups. This is the same level of backing as there is for some of the things Reddit and HN are constantly repeating that they hate. Pure emotion, basically.
