What if it’s closer to what you say in that this is driven by some underlying genetics, and the hate appears later as a conscious rationalization of instinct?

But I immediately thought “this is going to get flagged,” so I put that little joke there and then sure enough it did get flagged sometime later. What I wonder is: would it have still got flagged, without that little joke about it being flagged at the top? I guess we’ll never know! at least in this version of the universe. Might have to hop over to another version in order to see the alternative. Hahaha! :)
