They were hated in the old days mostly because of one live concert that was a disaster on every level. And a lot of their songs sounded very similar to other of their songs.
These days the haters have moved on I'm think. Maybe. Or I just don't pay attention.

Which live concert? I saw them at an open air festival and it wasn't a disaster by any stretch, but they fumbled TTFAF and I haven't been into them nearly as much since.
IDK if hated is the right word. This seems like an AI generated meme to get a rise out of a community.
That being said, allegedly dragonforce was annoying to see live because they used to get too drunk to play their own songs. They seem to be more sober now, and they play pretty well.
I'm definitely not an expert so don't take my point of view too seriously. However, I'm guessing so because it's a meme directed at a community that should understand it, but nobody seems to understand it at all. A lot of AI is just crowd sourced language models, so it'll just put commonly used words together that may or may not make sense, depending on the prompt. In this case, it looks like a prompt of something like make a meme about a niche metal band using the I'm too afraid to ask template.
I also question any poster who makes a post like this but then doesn't engage anyone. Just drop it and move on. This person seems active on other subs, so i wouldn't guess bot account, but that would leave AI. He or she has no idea how to respond to the comments because they don't understand their own post is my guess.
Eh, on the serious side, despite metal culture being typically open and friendly (outside of the pit, in the pit you are hamburger to be chewed), every group has assholes.
There are people that just like feeling superior, so anything they aren't into sucks, and they'll make up the criteria start determines what does and doesn't suck so that their opinion is validated.
That's all it is. You see it with bookheads, with hip-hop heads, pop freaks, whatever.
My experience is that the metal culture is PARTICULARLY friendly in the pit. Everyone typically looks out for each other, and people who mosh too violently are usually pulled out of the pit. Also: with metal becoming more and more popular over the last two decades, Ifeel like the ratio of assholes in the community has grown.
I know this poster is old, but damn if it doesn’t make me laugh every single time. This is such a great joke, but also an absolutely brilliant marketing move- everyone gets a laugh for sure, and I guarantee anyone not already aware of the bands on the roster is going to remember exactly one band in particular over the others.
I got my first speeding ticket on high school blasting Rock You Like A Hurricane by the Scorpions, I understand this disease. This song is also most likely to be the one I get my next one to though hahaha, it's an absolute high octane thrill fest of a jam.
Uh, yeah, I thought that was the point? There's nothing more maddening than looking at all the terrible things in the world and still deciding that living life is worth enduring.
You have to be divinely insane to accept all of the bad and all of the good that reality presents to us seemingly without any greater reason or purpose.
