h8ers
Those who despise
H8ers is internet slang spelling of "haters"—people who express negativity, criticism, or jealousy toward someone or something.
The number 8 replaces the letters A-T-E, a common text-message shorthand.
The term often dismisses critics as motivated by envy rather than legitimate concerns: Don't listen to the h8ers.
The spelling marks the word as casual or ironic.
