It really isn't. There's a "constant tsunami" of defensive whinging on the part of genre readers, but it is more often at the mere mention of the word "genre" than any actual criticism, much less "sneering." Meanwhile, one sees at least as many allegations of pretension slung at anyone whose reading is less easily categorized.
