Speaking ill of things one does not understand is quite simply a human trait that stems from lack of intelligence.

"Without the 'why' you are powerless."

People are offended by things they do not understand. Imagine if you were raised without being hugged or seeing anyone being hugged. What the hell would you think if you were 18 years old and someone suddenly hugged you in greeting? You'd probably be startled and shove back the person - you'd be shocked. That's exactly what these people are doing when they comment on shit they dont understand.

THAT WAS MY ANSWER TO YOUR GENERAL QUESTION.

Now, about Marilyn Manson specifically - people have had a few years to get acquainted to him and by now I wouldn't assume someone does not "understand him" as surely to understand someone IS NOT to like them. Please do not think this is some grand example for the way human beings are by a few people's reaction to a well-known rock star. I'd assume the reason why MM is being *bashed* is because he is commercial hate. People have every right not to like him.
