Why the animosity towards BJJ?

[u/pianoplayrr]

I'm just wondering why I often see Judo people ragging on BJJ people. I see this a lot when a BJJ guy posts a video demonstrating a Judo throw. In the comments there will usually be a bunch of angry Judo people saying things like "BJJ = basically just Judo", and things like that.

I have been noticing this for years, but why?

I think both arts are awesome, and it would be great if we could just combine them into one big, beautiful art!

I don’t necessarily dislike BJJ in itself, but rather the social culture around it as a couple of other people already touched upon. A ton of arrogant machismo, which is less prominent in judo. It’s a big reason why I chose judo instead.
