To dang and the other moderators, can you think of a way to auto-penalize effectively contentless/empty anti-Javascript comments?

Imagine this kind of comment for any other language, C, Python, Ruby, Rust, Scheme whatever. It would be downvoted to death. And yet people still make & upvote these comments about JS despite JS being the most popular language, run on the most devices & having a massive community of people fixing its warts and modernizing JS.

There are still valid critiques of JS but they have nothing to do with Al Pacino or Bruce Willis. Please spare us, or if you want to criticize Javascript, learn something about Javascript in 2019 & criticize that.
