I think antis have a very big problem with control: controlling their own thoughts and likings, policing others’ interest via projection, viewing world in black/white no gray area whatsoever, trying to shape complex nature of human thoughts and emotions into a tightly labeled box, labeling existence of anyone who is different from then in identity or fictional preferences as degrenade or whatever term they use nowadays. And so on, so they think it’s their right to police others into fitting those narrowly defined labels, in similar way terfs, right wingers, LGBT-phobes and other hate groups doMy two cents are that they’ve grown up in environment where they were never allowed to question things. So they never learnt to think freely from themselves and form opinions on their own. So once they leave the safe haven they’re deep down a frightened child who is shown too many options of outside world, no guadicance of strictly fixed rules to follow – so they lash out like wounded kids. No emotional regulation whatsoever because once more, world is black/white to them. If it’s good, it’s the best. If it rains, it pours. Cognitive bias is self defense mechanisms at this point, because they’re afraid of self reflection and actually coming up with something solely on their own. No half baked stolen options Also I guess that’s why they can’t admit their faves or ships contain problematic elements because that’ll be huge cognitive clash of their worldviews to them
