    Everyday I find myself completely baffled by human behavior. There are days I legitimately do not think I’m the same species.

    If I hate someone, I genuinely hate 1athem. Like Gary that I worked with in 2003. 20+ years later, and I STILL think he’s one of the biggest 1assholes I ever met.

    1At NO POINT do I want Gary porn. Maybe Gary death porn, but not sexual porn. I’d like to see him walk into a walk-in closet, when a bunch of spinning blades shoot out and cut him into tiny dice sized cubes.

    But these people claim to hate trans folks, but then go home and beat their meat to them? Where’s the hate then??? If you’re going to hate someone, truely hate them because they stand for everything you dispise. Otherwise, you’re just saying your own values mean nothing to you, and you shouldn’t be taken seriously at face value.

    And in this particular case, why even bother hating trans people at all? Just accept trans people for who they are, and bust all the nuts you want without being a hypocrite.

    Aside from kids and animals, there aren’t many kinks I’d look down on people for, as long as they’re just true to themselves. I may not like the idea of licking feet, but if thats your thing, own up to it! Be yourself!

      Deviation from social expectations can be attractive as can novelty. Fetishization of a group is often associated with the group being perceived as exotic and possibly even taboo. And there are a lot of people who when they feel shame about their desires lash out against those they desire. The sort of guy who feels the need to tell everyone he’s not into fat chicks? Yeah he’s getting rejected by them in secret.

      Your example is someone you personally hate because Gary fucking sucks. But if there were a group of Garys who were just a bit different that you were always told not to interact with because they’re bad despite the fact that they all seem perfectly nice if a bit odd. Well a certain portion of your community would find themselves torn between the excitement of the exotic (hell you don’t see a Gary every day, and you usually have to go to a certain part of town to see one) and the expectations of not interacting with them, and this would lead to shame and anger, because to an unexamined and immature person these Garys are seducing them, tempting them away from what they know to be the rightful separation of good normal people and Garys. This is even worse if anyone could turn out to have always been a Gary. Maybe some of those people are afraid they might be a Gary but are afraid to even think about it enough to discount it. So they may start calling to ensure there’s no chance of them accidentally running into a Gary and making sure nobody becomes a Gary hoping that that will keep them safe and maybe even punish the Garys who did this to them.

      Most people are more complex than black-and-white, most of my co-workers are freenemies.

      Enemies to lovers is such a common trope too.

        This is why I hate every job I’ve ever had, most folks seem to be more than happy to fuck each other over, act like your friend to your face but would be happy to stab you in the back for a dollar. I refuse to act like that and think its morally repugnant to engage in that behavior. Its heart wrenching how common its become
