I don't think most people hated the beginning of it with people like Weinstein and Cosby but it got out of control to include literally just bad dates, which rightfully got backlash after it was revealed to being that. After that there was the Kavanaugh case where she didn't have any evidence, got a ton of details wrong, and other witnesses she trying to use all ended up recanting their positions or denied her claims. Or there's the number of college cases that are complete lies or worse, situations where the girl was the offending party, though that predates metoo and ties to Title IX reform. Even Louis C.K.'s case, while definitely creepy, wasn't that bad as he wasn't forcing anything or blocking doors like some were saying. But people were acting like he was another Weinstein, Spacey, or Cosby as opposed to a loser in a corner jacking it who literally asked for permission first.

It's the whole "believe women!" bit that goes too far to act as if people can't lie, get things wrong, and exaggerates the wrong to a point where it's also wrong. Hell, some journalists were trying to claim that when Warren called Sanders a sexist it was like a metoo thing, literally saying that the lesson of metoo was that we should believe women. Meaning all of a sudden nobody should question any accusation by a woman simply because she's a woman. Said journo caught backlash for that one too but that's quite the pervasive jump. If the lesson was simply that sexual assault cases should be taken more seriously, including more robust investigations, and that predators should be outed? Absolutely, that's got widespread support and includes men, which as I mentioned earlier, Terry Crews was a part of. But it goes a step further than that, sometimes much further, and ends up defending abusers only because they're women. Which ironically ends up just being incredibly toxic and sexist itself going the ends justify the means.
