A lot of these people are just anti-Pearl to the point that it's strange. If you call them out, and just flat out ask them what Pearl has done that is so terrible, they run and hide, or they just talk in generalizations because they are predisposed to hate him. It's really odd to me. They really act as if Pearl has committed some violent crime or something. They can't see their own ugliness, but can create someone else's it seems.
