Saying “I hate lima beans” doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going on a hate campaign against lima beans, it just means you have a strong distaste for them. It’s a valid feeling regardless of how many others love lima beans. In fact, lots of other people loving something and talking about it nonstop and calling it the best thing ever will obviously mean someone who hates that thing will get annoyed hearing about something they hate, so it’s fine to express that distaste.

My guy, are we just going to entirely ignore the context of this literally being a comment in a “look at me I’m so different for not liking the Beatles” post? Yeah, what you’re saying may be true, but we’re talking about somebody who literally is making a campaign out of their disdain. Context and nuance people, Jesus Christ.

How is that any worse than making a post saying “I love the Beatles”? In fact, the post is getting proven correct where a simple singular post attracts so many responses.

Yes, I agree. As I said here 10 hours ago:
My point is that they are the same thing, and thus methinks the lady doth protest too much.
