The hatred of vocal fry is just class-oriented bigotry. It's a variation on anti-AAVE.

Previously, uptick speech filled the need for hatred. But then it turned out in studies that uptick was perceived as more intelligent by later Gen Y and all of Gen Z.

Heavy vocal fry annoys me. Maybe I'm a class-oriented bigot, but I think it's just an annoying sound.

Agreed. Your PP is strangely very strongly invested in it going by the number of comments. I wonder why.
