It's strange, I have this with books, but never with comics 
Rather, I start reading a book not knowing how bad it is, and when it turns to shit, I don't stop. I guess I am just enjoying at least soooome part of it if I don't drop it, even if I hate it guts, or maybe I am waiting for something redeeming. Maybe comics are a bit harder to swallow like that 
For books, if I bought it with my own money, I'm definitely going to finish it whether I like it or not. 
This one can understand enjoying things in the so-bad-it-is-good genre, but actually consuming things that give nothing but bad feelings? What???
That was my attempt at a joke... when I promote my novels I leave links and stuff like that... Sorry if it came out the wrong way.
hmm i think theres a big distinction to be made between hating on a comic and hate-reading a comic. i dont go around leaving comments on how much these comics suck, to me.
hate reading is a way for me to recognize what i dont like about my own writing, what i find unacceptable to do as a public figure with a public comic (behavior, not plot or art!), and where i find my own downfalls are, in a kind of "safe space" of seeing it in someone else's work before needing to turn it on myself. i dont think thats the kind of thought process i should be commenting on someone else's work, even if it were extremely well thought out.
in my personal opinion seeing work we dislike is just as valid a learning process as seeing work we do like as long as we're open to self criticizing and analyzing our own approach to it
i agree! both the comics i hate-read i do with a friend. its just Nice analyzing a piece of media and figuring out why we dont like it, in a way i think its just as and sometimes more ground for self-discovery!
for me, if im reading an indie comic what i wouldnt like about it would have more to do with the creator and public etiquette, their comic often being a kind of microcosm of their own actions (otherwise, its just some badly written content, why would i care?) if its non-indie comics (professionally published, or picked up by tapas or webtoons and paid for, for example) i do find the content "worthy" of analysis since it's being presented as a professional piece of media, theres writers and artists and editors, and the final piece says something. if that something is "bad", it's fair game to call them out (imo)
Hate is a strong-word but sometimes i do continue reading comics even if I dislike the premise or just go "wtf" haha. Typically some bl (I just have a love-hate relationship with it in general and for the fun of it, I read bl with similar vibes in the old smackjeeve days). I don't necessarily hate it (otherwise, I won't continue reading it within a mile radius or so)
I hate-read all the time. It's one of my favourite things to do. Just get friends on a discord call and read shitty BL mango aloud to each other (sfx included).
I don't hate read anything because I don't skim-read. For me a bad book/comic would be really tedious to get through, and I'd just end up wasting my energy over nothing. I've read funny excerpts from bad books though. Mostly descriptions of women/ sex scenes.
Now hate-watching bad movies is something I do. You can put them on the background and do other stuff at same time.
I don't really think so, I'm not much of a hateful person. Though if I hear of comics that are notorious for being "bad", I will give them a read. The same goes for fanfiction. I like to be able to form an opinion of my own before letting a reviewer or another reader form an opinion for me.
I'm currently reading Sonichu out of sheer curiosity, and also My Immortal. These are both apparently very popular works that I heard of from my friends, and I simply had to see for myself. But I'm certainly not one to hate on others or even leave hateful comments for that matter, unless said person is just being an asshat.
If you are being an asshat or a horrible person, I will roast your ass to shreds. Other than that, I don't really have time to read something I "hate". That's time I could be spending reading good comics, especially new comics that really need the attention <3
neither are people who hate read 
im a bit confused what this means? just because people hate-read doesnt mean they were Told to by someone? they couldve and probably did get to the conclusion they dont like the piece of media on their own? haha
if you feel like it, i recommend you read my response to DualDragons which goes into what "hating reading" is and what purpose it serves, because it's not this!
that's a fair approach!
My bad, I must've misunderstood then ^w^" I'm very sorry.
I guess it's just that when I was still in college, a lot of my classmates would more or less "roast" other's works. That is what I meant. They'd seek out the less-than-perfect comics, animations, etc. simply to hate on them very vocally. I guess that's what I thought you meant?
I'm not really one to do that, is what I mean. Since I'd rather devote my attention to the up and coming comics that I see potential in, which could really use the support. If that makes sense?
theres nothing to be sorry about.!
that does make sense, and i think it just serves a very different purpose. hate-reading is a form of self-exploration, and support is an external encouragement of your community.
i dont think either is better or comes to replace the other, and it absolutely makes sense some people would prefer one to the other since people have a different approach to what they find important in a community centered around content creation
I don't. Some of my friends do that with novels, and I'm always like...why did you spend days of your life on that then? Also, people trashing their creative peers really bums me out so... It's not for me.
I respect a call out for tasteless /intolerant/ harmful stuff, but just hate for the sake of it being popular without skill? I think it would put me in a competitive headspace as a creator and ultimately be worse for myself.
I just think there are not enough ppl raising their peers up?
...maybe I'm too sensitive? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I might check out something that's considered awfully bad by people, but I don't really feel like hate-reading stuff. I'd rather avoid it and not give it views, lol.
Anyway I find it really hard to hate a creative work based on the author's skill, unless it's offensive or harmful.
If I suspect I'm going to dislike something I go ahead and avoid it.
The most I'll do when glancing at popular works I'm not interested in is say "I know I can do better than this" and use it as fuel to work harder.
If you dislike something, especially from a moral stand point, doesn't reading it and giving it views defeat the whole purpose? I don't know, it personally seems really rude.
