If that was true, that trend wouldn't exist in the first place. At least one person had to legitimately hate or at least exaggerate disliking the word for that idea to spread, so it stands to reason that more than one person organically disliked the word independently. That's not even considering outliers like folks with synesthesia who may perceive the way the word sounds much differently than most do.
