The majority of people online and in real life focus on being politically correct as much as possible, so 'The Hater Box' has been created to offer them a way to let loose by encouraging them to discuss hot topics. Packed with 45 different words that have been chosen for their ability to make people react, the display pairs each one with the word "F*CK" to put a negative spin on each one. This helps to incite dialogue amongst those who are questioning the constructs of such topics as success, work, art, freedom, borders, Facebook and even Instagram.
'The Hater Box' is the design work of Parse/Error and comes as a response to the clean-cut style of today's media to offer us a way to relax a little bit and complain about popular topics.
