Is it common for those who hate something to secretly love it?

[peanut butter complexion]

Well my most transphobic friend came out to me as trans 2 weeks ago and I have been Confused Travolta GIF ever since... 🤫

I REALLY hate rap music does that I will start a career in rap one day...? Heh 😙

Have you experienced or witnessed anything like this before?

[craigsters]

Yes, something similar. Men that are transphobic but secretly like transwomen... and I'm not saying this to provoke anyone, I actually know one guy like this.

Hating something can be hiding that you really like it, but don't think your allowed to like it.

Like a lot of the internet used to hate furries, and now they are everywhere.

And when MLP:fim came out we watched countless people go from haters to fans.

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

Yeah it happens. People try to blend in or are simply afraid to admit what they really want and try to convince others and themselves in the contrary.

I used to be like that. I felt I had to hide who I was and treated people badly who had more courage than I did. I was like that for a long time. I hate myself because of it.

[Utiviroo]

Genuine love and hatred both share one commonality.

Obsession.

If one seems to outward flip, then the hatred was denial, the love a betrayal.

It gets real "interesting" if you have both going on at the same time on the same topic/issue. Interesting as exceedingly painful.

It is not common, maybe in younger audiences that are trying to conform to the group and find their place, but in older ones the duality is rarer as, its too much effort to maintain a nonsensical lie like that.

They are intense emotions and only a psychopath could probably hide their true self from their self, successfully, for extended periods. Maybe a sociopath too, but not much else, while still being aware of it, the non aware are all the multiple personality disorder types, which are usually a bit easier to spot than the first two, especially if older and well practiced at lying.

I suppose.

When it happens to me: "Drive Rush is such a cheap mechanic in SF6, why are you allowed to poke me from across the realm and then start comboing like you did something? So cheap..."

When I get to do it: "HAHA DRIVE RUSH GO BRRRRRR"

It's not surprising to me, I also let transphobic rhetoric get to me for a while. I imagine they finally got away from the kinds of people feeding into that and/or actually met some trans people, which let them finally realize that about themselves.

We did?
I just remember that there were a lot of adults that are fans, and some haters. I didn't know so many "changed side".

MLP started out like a small group of fans. The saying was like any pony is a hommie or something. And everyone was attacking guys that liked mlp for being non-masculine. And some were like omg whats happened to todays guys.

And like art websites got annoyed and made separate tags or put in limits.

And there were fights about people wanting only sfw pony and saying they aren't furries

There was all kind of stuff at first liking mlp some considered a secret club, like that rainbow dash drawing on the delivery pizza story.

MLP was like.. "See guys can like girl cartoons"

[Sanguine]

I'm moneyphobic

I hope this one works

[Rio]

Season 1 mlp, was like the cult of Faust, Lauran faust can do no wrong.

And after she left all was doom and gloom

This is a funny sentence to look back on since I once heard that every "guy" who watched mlp ended up becoming trans with any exceptions being incredibly racist instead.

The more time passes, the more I become convinced that this is true.

i try to lead by example. i guess in this case it meant being honest with myself and taking the opportunity to grow. it's important to always grow i think. even when we think we have it all figured out.

I knew the guy who made equestria daily before he made that. I saw him drop cynder the dragon for trixie. I used to talk to him a lot. Sethisto, CCC

I was in some of the generals, like pony tulpas. I remember stuff like the great scruffy war on milky
