deprecators
Those who belittle
Deprecators are people who belittle or express disapproval of something.
A self-deprecator downplays their own abilities or worth, often for humorous effect: He's such a self-deprecator—always joking about his bad cooking.
The term applies to critics who disparage ideas, traditions, or institutions: deprecators of modern art.
