Like many things, people hate it because of its associations with other things. They will happily throw it out even if it has good uses. Here have some spicy examples:
Some people experience gender dysphoria and may benefit from medical intervention? Nah it got abused by ideological idiots so it must always be bad.
Karl Marx says workers must arm themselves? Nah guns are bad, I know this because rightoids like them.
Is shitting on evolutionary psychology the meta in this community?

Your comment is passive aggressive criticism without any substance. I’m going to challenge you to back up that claim. Name the good uses.
So that’s what’s going on. I had a feeling everyone dunking on it didn’t actually know anything about psychology. Glad to know it’s just pettiness.
