I hated the Harry Potter series so much as a kid. Specifically becuase the wizards were smug assholes who thought they were better than the Muggles, despite the fact that modern technology could replicate almost everything magic could do in the books. And in many areas, our technology was far superior and indeed incomprehensible to the magic users, such as rocketry and atomic physics.
I truely feel bad for my parents for having to listen to my third diatribe in a week about the wizards lived like medieval oafs while we explored space and invented computers. Then it would get dark when I started ranting about how we could wipe these pointy-hatted slave-owners off the face of the Earth with a push of a button, how dare they condescend to us.
Granted I was a annoying le-science loving nerdlinger, but I feel vindicated in my hatred.
Especially not if you're feeemale. "LessWrong" tends to get off to (CW: sexual violence)

drugging, amateur brainwashing (usually with mantras like "you are only a figment of my imagination made specifically to serve and please me") and consequently violating their "cuddle party" company to brag about it later.
I am freeing the House-elves by giving them Ushankas and tiny AK-47s along with a copy of Che's Guerilla warfare. I hope they make the Hatian revolution look like a modest reform movement.
