Antivalentinism

Antivalentinism refers to a set of criticisms of Saint Valentine's Day mostly at February 14. These tend to fall into two categories, one anticonsumerist and the other an objection to the "forced" observation of romantic love.
Valentine's Day has been dubbed as a "Hallmark holiday", a reference to the Hallmark greeting card company based in the United States. Some businesses make profits from selling amounts of cards, flowers, chocolates, candies, stuffed animals and other gifts.
Anti-Valentine Cards are typically cynical or sarcastic toward romance or the commercialism associated with Valentine's Day.
