despisers
Those who scorn
Despisers are people who despise—those who regard something or someone with contempt or scorn.
The word appears in religious and philosophical contexts: despisers of the good, despisers of tradition.
Nietzsche's "despisers of the body" captures the typical usage: naming a class defined by what they hold in contempt.
