It’s an opinion. About typography. I can’t understand having an opinion that another person shouldn’t have whatever opinion about typography they want.
If you really want to go down that rabbit hole, I was simply stating my opinion on another's opinion, and I can't understand having an opinion that another person can't understand another's opinion.
Liking or disliking something harmless is a matter of taste. Treating harmless preferences as subject to outside validation isn’t. It’s perfectly reasonable to expect that everyone is allowed to enjoy or prefer what they want, as long as no one is hurt by it.
You didn’t express a disagreement with the opinion, you expressed that the opinion shouldn’t exist. That’s not the same thing.
I said that the hate is overblown and unwarranted. That's not the same as saying it shouldn't exist; rather I was hoping to hear some good counterpoints to help me understand why some people dislike them to the point of hatred.
