There is a ridiculous amount of hate every year. I think people are only noticing it more this year because of Raph tbh. There are always a few members who are very OTT in their hatred, and generally nearly all males have a large amount of hatred poured on them from launch night, especially half decent looking males who are written off as 'the winner' from their VT and spammed about since then, whilst not actually doing much wrong.

Forums are weird places :D
