On a related note, is there a proper name for that mistake?

Because I've looked on a lot of fallacy lists, but can't find one that in essence says:

> Someone assumes a concept is bad because they can only see people they dislike using it for reasons they consider 'immoral'. Without realising how it affects them at the same time.

Because I can't quite find the term for this, and I'm 100% sure someone has come up with a decent name for it in the past.
