What is hate porn?
'Reality' television which features people who represent the absolute worst aspects of humanity. The viewer essentially takes pleasure through judging the cast members as worthless and talking with other viewers about how much they hate these people.
Examples include the shows 'Jersey Shore,' 'Keeping up with the Kardashians,' and 'Real Housewives of Orange County.'
Reality shows have always shown some degree of hate porn (See: Puck, def. 6), but only recently have begun to focus on this aspect, rather than relationships or the 'problem of the week.'
"My GAWD Snookie was soooo awful last night can you believe her?"
"I just absolutely HAAATE! her!"
"Y'all need to lay off of that Hate Porn, it's bad for your soul."
