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.
Your comment is passive aggressive criticism without any substance. I'm going to challenge you to back up that claim. Name the good uses.
Bad by association and the hivemind are my faves, I particular enjoy:
"Evolutionary psychology is inherently bad, useless, and only stupid people could have such thoughts. Science as I understand it is the only valid way of thinking."
"Dosing a population with fluoride via tap water is inherently a 100% good thing and to question it implies ones utter stupidity, drugging a population this way with any other substance would be unthinkable though."
"Guns for civilians have no use other than school shootings, no good person should want a gun they must be banned."
"Boomers caused all of our problems, despite the fact that I also willingly participate in all the harmful systems that caused these problems."
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.
