Why is Prisma the exception to ORM hate?

I've never used an ORM, but for years have heard mostly negative things across various languages.
People throwing terms like anti-pattern etc.

Yet Prisma touts itself as the "Next-generation Node.js and TypeScript ORM" and people suddenly seem to be more lenient with the idea.
Random example:

Why is this? What key criticism did it address to gain such popularity?

Prisma is the most interesting thing in database access happening in the Node.js space. I’m usually against ORMs but I recommend you to check this out and evaluate.
