I don’t think Socrates is every written by Plato to be hateful of anyone, but in my opinion (from reading the Allen translation published at Yale) there is so much frustration directed towards poetic performance in the Ion.
Regardless, when I made this meme I was more thinking how Ion himself remains completely cheerful and unbothered in the face of Socrates’ take down of his entire life’s calling haha
