Don't need to hate dark matter to appreciate both theories have their positives and their hold ups. There's forces at work that we don't understand, one camp poses we can add an unknown mass to make things work, the other poses we can add an unknown modifier to a force to make things work. Neither theory works perfectly, neither theory has (of yet) an identifiable mechanism. I don't know how this is a divisive issue, there's legit scientific practices happening from both camps.
I subscribe to Sabine Hossenfelder's take on things, "the distinction between dark matter and modified gravity is a false dichotomy, the answer isn't either/or, it's both, it's just a matter of how do we combine them" 2 years ago in this video. https://youtu.be/4_qJptwikRc
