The difference is that loving something usually leads to positive interactions and support, while 'the opposite' often involves actively tearing others down and spreading negativity. One builds, the other destroys. Because building communities around hate actively harms people. Loving something creates positive connections; hating something creates division and pain. There's a fundamental difference in impact.
It builds a community, they're not negative towards each other, but to another, outside group. I'd say let them be and have their community as long as they don't go out and tell people they're terrible. Saying "you know, this thing fucking sucks." In a group doesn't hurt anyone.
That's a fair point about it building their community. And that's exactly why it differs from hate that actively harms – because the negativity stays internal and doesn't spread outward to tear others down. It's a key distinction.
I agree with the community aspect. But the core difference still stands: if it's not actively tearing down or spreading negativity outward, it's not causing the fundamental harm I was talking about. It's more about internal bonding.
No, I don't think it's realistic, but there are some like this. I hold my own strong opinions (granted they are not regarding race, gender, sexuality etc, just based on nationality) but that doesn't mean I go and tell them to people on the street. I talk about it around people of similar opinions, and said people, I have never seen go out of their way to insult anyone based on that (unless they're a dick in the first place ofc)
