Some people think that being bitter and negative is the only way to be unique.

Being contrarian is an easy way to get attention and have an opinion without actually having to put any thought into it.
You'll notice most times someone says they think something popular is bad, they don't back it up with any actual criticism. Even if they're pressed for a reason they'll usually attack a rival IP or spout a buzz word or say something about reddit.
It all comes down to wanting attention and intellectual laziness.

It's the underaged and reddit's shortcut to being an oldfag/fitting in. Mind you that 99.98℅ of Sup Forums consists of contrarian hipster faggots.

Most people aren't that for the sake of it. Fanboys of any series can't fathom the idea that people have different opinions so they just tell themselves that those people are just contrarians and don't have any real opinions
