I think it's trendy now, in general but especially in tech, to generalize anything that anyone doesn't like as "everyone hates this". It's not a new tendency, but it feels like hyperbolic projection became the new normal in the last few years.

In general, I've noticed a trend in most communities I participate in that criticism is inherently negative. There's no view that you can be critical just understand something or see how to improve it, if you're critical you're attacking.

It's been trendy for about 10 years to love FP and hate on OOP.
