Hating so hard they went full circle and created something nice. Reminds me of original bronies from 4chan who tried to use kindness as sacrasm for trolling but autists took it as sincerity.
Finest gentlemen 😂
I call this the Alan Moore Effect. If a writer's personal morality is sufficiently inverted, then he may - unintentionally and ignorantly - invert the heroes and villains in his stories.
The best example of this effect in action is the character Rorschach from Watchmen. Moore intended for him to be an evil caricature of conservatism, but he ended up being a fan favorite and maybe the only character in the book with a defensible morality. That's the sort of self-own that happens when your worldview is completely detached from reality.
I can think of few more instances when it does happen. Beastie Boys - Fight for your Right was supposed to be a parody of frats but it turned out to be an awesome song and they ended up being celebrity frats anyway.
Another one was New Guy in Mallorie Jessica Udischas (sweetbeans99) where the New Guy was supposed to be a concern troll but turns out people like him more than the main heroine who celebrated Pewdiepie getting robbed.
It's hilarious really. It's like Dunning Krugger of Extremism.
The Fry Cry 5 OST was supposedly satirical, but it didn't stop the same 2A Bible-thumping rednecks Ubisoft was lampooning from liking it unironically.
