Talking About 'Star Trek': Are there people out there that 'hate Star Trek: The Next Generation' vehemently?

Someone on Quora actually asked this question recently:

Why do I encounter many people that seem to hate Star Trek: The Next Generation so vehemently?

As Mr. Spock would say in response to a question of this nature, it is difficult to answer such a query without any empirical data.

First, when you say that you encounter “many people that hate Star Trek: The Next Generation, where do these encounters occur? The farmland in rural Wisconsin? A bar in Milwaukee? The halls of a high school campus? A Facebook Star Trek discussion group?

Second, do you go around asking random strangers “Excuse me, but what are your personal feelings about Star Trek: The Next Generation?”

So, without having any relevant information to go on, I can only say this: I have no idea why you, the question writer, encounter many people that seem to hate Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Here are some theories, though:

1. You run into young science fiction fans whose first glimpse at Star Trek was through Star Trek: Discovery or the Kelvin timeline movies and thus they don’t like the late-1980s look of TNG, which is “stagy” and doesn’t have a cinematic look to it.
2. You encounter people who like the reimagined Battlestar Galactica, a series co-created by TNG writer/producer Ronald D. Moore, who intended his show to be the antithesis to the first two TV incarnations of Star Trek.
3. You hang out with people who, for various reasons of their own, don’t like Star Trek: The Next Generation.
