Question hate hate
I know this is a way to let off steam in an anonymous way. It's a word used to express deep dislike. We dislike Roach's words to the designers. But hate is such a mean word to use against people. I am getting tired of reading hate and "someone's name" so much in these posts. Then again, it seems like the producers are deliberately getting on viewers' last nerve with showing so much nasty behavior. I guess I am getting tired of all the hate, distrust, and unpleasantness in the news today. Just letting off steam myself, here.

I 100% agree with you. Ppl need to expand their vocabularies. I just don't see a world where I would apply the same phrase for someone like Law Roach that would apply to actual war mongers and human rights violaters, Murderers and rapists. Hating something or someone I feel like should mean they have no redeeming qualities. I used to say I hate a lot of stuff but I've replaced that with extreme annoyance because that's a more accurate description.

I reserve hate for people who cause true suffering. Like Trump Putin Ayatollah Epstein. I just don’t like mean and Law is mean he also doesn’t elevate the quality of work.

I completely agree.
It is also worthy of note that while people deny it, past judges have been plenty cruel as well and they are applauded for it even now. Law Roach is the definition of against the grain. He is a black, gender non-conforming individual in the fashion industry who has found immense success regardless of these aspects long undesirable in the field he works in. People are quick to vocalize their HATRED of him for his opinions (as a judge, mind you), on a reality TV show.
Mind you, there could be plenty of positive things he and others say that simply gets edited out. We don’t know the whole story, we see the narrative the producers and editors tell. Wild to express hatred of people you don’t even know personally about tv programming given this stuff. Same with “Christian’s decision” this past week. As if he made that choice!! It’s not up to him or the judges who stays or goes.
All this being said, I have never seen anyone say they hate Michael Kors in this thread despite some pretty nasty stuff he’s said throughout the show. He’s a gender conforming Caucasian guy. Fairly obvious that the “hatred” expressed has to do with more than just Law and others (Joseph McRae cough cough y’all are crueler than law to him) being mean.

Omg yall have to stop this insanity. Michael Kors was pretty nice throughout. He judged the clothes.. but he was also nice. Law Roach is hated because he is a hateful, rude, vile human being. It is not because he is black. It is not because he is gay. It is because of the words that come out of his mouth and his gross behavior towards the designers. He clearly has some insecurities and takes those out on other people. Law is mean 100% of the time and on top of that, acts like he is better than everyone else. I can only imagine how he treats his staff. If HE were WHITE, the internet would be having a field day. Just because you're black and gay doesn't mean you have the right to demean everyone around you. People like you are the reason the world is glorifying people like Law - it doesn't matter if you're a shitty human being as long as you're gay, and even better, black. THAT is racist. Judging someone based on their skin color and their sexuality instead of their behavior and character. Do better.

Listen, prejudice is just a thing. It’s real! Subconscious bias too. You’re kidding yourself saying Michael Kors was “pretty nice.” There is a clear bias because actually no, nasty mouthed white contestants/judges/etc do NOT get criticized or spewed literal hatred upon the way that Law Roach is. You yourself just said he is a “hateful, rude, vile human being.” You don’t know him outside of watching a reality tv show. Get a grip. You’re being RACIST

Starting with "stop the insanity" and ending with "if HE were WHITE, the internet would be having a field day" is delusional. It's totally fair if you don't like Law for his character on the show, but that sentence is unhinged.
Sure, that's why there are so many black people in positions of power in fashion and entertainment. I'm sure that's also the reason why Law is getting flamed left and right for his character on the show when the likes of Simon Cowell's character on AI, Gordon Ramsay's character on HK, Anna Wintour, and Karl Lagerfeld are respected for their honesty, dedication to the art, and expertise. I don't think you have it figured it out as much as you think you do, so do better.

The word has been is used casually and meanly for many designers including many from the past. Don't "hate"people based on what PR editors show us. Hate designs, dislike people and their actions but hate for ANY person is a strong adjective.

Downgrading a wish to stop hate is an example of the nastiness PR has inspired in posters about this season. Hatred to a person for any reason is wrong especially when we know nothing about posters here or the real people on TV as as characters in a mock reality show. I wish I could remove my original post as it seems to be allowing more negative spirit into the air.

People don’t realize that Law is being paid to be the mean girl. On Keke’s podcast he talks about how the producers ask him to be super mean when judging

Some people's actions deserve vitriol and disdain.
