First off, I just wanna say I don't like kids and that's okay. I feel like for those who say they hate kids actually don't hate them. At least not to a point where they will go out of their way to harm them, I only believe a very small portion of them do though unfortunately :( The ones who do joke about kicking them or calling them names (not in front of the kid) actually won't do that or mean such things, even though it is harsh and pretty bad. I personally don't find it funny, but I also don't feel offended. For me, it's like hearing a corny joke. I get where people say it's weird to joke about such things and how saying "hating kids" is wrong, at the same time part of me thinks "my gosh these people are so sensitive." Even though it is sensitive to feel mad about such jokes (unless one hears it so often), it wouldn't be fair to just think that and not see where they're coming from so I do give it grace.
They say they hate them because they're loud, annoying, cry a lot, whine, scream, do dumb things. While I'm sure they do understand that that's what they do and they're learning, it still doesn't change the fact they don't like it. Even the one's who just dislike kids (me) don't like it either. Hate is a strong word here so maybe they should consider just saying dislike if it's just that, but we also can't control how people choose their words. We don't know how strongly they feel on how bad it is for them. People will say "but you were a kid once." Which even I never really understood what that could change, because it's not that people didn't already know that. That doesn't mean their emotions are invalid on feeling annoyed, mad, or whatever. They're just responsible on what they do with that emotion. Remember? And that's another point, I don't understand why people feel the need to get mad at someone who just shows negative emotions (away from the kid) when a kid does something that the person is annoyed/ticked off about and the kid doesn't hear or see that. I mean he/she isn't actively saying shut up towards the kid or yelling at them, if anything, they're just walking away from it. If that alone makes you attack that person for choosing not to do anything bad, I really do think that's bad on your part. I do believe that person should try to find some type of coping mechanisms for "bad behaved/annoying kids" if they are needed to be in a place for a while where they are there.
Again, I am in no way defending bad behavior or words, just bringing another side I see no one really talks about.

i have little siblings and many little cousins, and i could say i dislike kids aswell. but my problem is i find them very spoiled, i dont think i have to explain spoiled kids very much but e.g. my little sibling is almost incapable of searching for something without screaming for someone to help or my mother. all it takes is to tell them "okay, go look for x thing" and they will go, but its allways scream-crying at first. and since my lil sibling is much much younger than the rest, my mothers pretty much alone witht them so that adds to spoiled-ness. aside from that they are very talkative and loud which also rly irritates me, and when i eventually tell them to shut up, again they go whine to my parents saying i or other siblings messed with them.
aside from living with them i dont mind other children in public, screaming/crying/ or having tantrums. but having kids of my own sounds like literal torture...
