Hmm, while I understand this (I've even written about it before!) I wonder about this specific example. Maybe another example would be better (for instance: people who hate on PHP).

I've seen plenty of people present things as literally the worst, but they're doing so in a very tongue in cheek way.

For instance: javascript is totally stupid and does totally stupid things stupidly (unlike go, which is awesome, and doesn't do stupid things) - The Presentation (given by a huge javascript fan who literally writes javascript all day every single day).
