It bothers me how diverse an individual's interests tend to be, in particular, when they contradict.

Like that guy who likes to pet baby puppies and kittens who also precums at tentacle rape by things out of H.P. Lovecraft.

Or that other guy who fetishizes guns and explosions who also likes to spread his favorite show about cartoon ponies.

And then, there's even that anti-sexual bastard right over here, whose favorite fantasy consists of ridiculously pretty little boys that never cry because of how happy they are around the people they love who also look very nice in frilly clothes being taken care of by women who look around 18 to 29 years old that love well behaved children, in particular ones that love them too, who also has an ideal world where homicide of others is encouraged for the purpose of getting rid of certain people like trash, and likes bloody chainswords.

It makes it too hard to get an image of someone because their interests don't really fall into similar groups.

Also, how appropriate appearance is also impossible for me to assign to people like this, because of contradictory perceptions.

    Define "fun".
  • I don't think my interests say much about my personality other than maybe I'm kind of a nerd, but I guess there isn't much contradiction either.

    Anyway, people are complex and have different dimensions.

    Oh, better yet, how about this: metroidvania videogames, Christian pop music, the ASEAN and climate change, protests/rebellions in Libya and Yemen and Syria, recall elections in Wisconsin, voter disenfranchisement in Florida, reviews of Jinki: Extend, chord progressions, and a list of IRC commands.

    Contradiction is a form of conflict, and conflict is VERY INTERESTING!

    -DA DA DAAAA!!!-

    *thunderclap*


    One minute I'm watching My Little Pony, the next I'm taking an MMA class with men wearing t-shirts that say "bonafide tough guy" and listening to heavy metal. I fear that I will instantly lose all reputation if they ever find out...

    I think one of them would have noticed all of the My Little Pony references that I make.

    Edmania,

    I am not sure if I agree with you. For the ponies/guns example, I think what you point out is more of a broad perspective than a contradiction. Glennmagusharvey's and Komodin's lists of interests seem to be more indicative of having varied interests in my view than contradictory for example. I might have misunderstood you though since you did mention diverse interests.

    I agree that unpredictability can be a bit unnerving though, especially when one suddenly reveals that one likes something that goes against your impression of that person. I think that seems like all the more reason not to have preconceived notions of who people are.

    Also, I see little reason to talk about how much one is going against type by having a certain interest, but I feel like I see that decently frequently online and somewhat frequently offline. I think people should just be happy with their interests because they are their interests and not really care whether or not society or other people think those things are consistent at all. I understand that can be pretty tough sometimes though.

    On a somewhat related note, is it common for seemingly conflicting interests to involve liking nice and peaceful things while simultaneously liking gore and violence and such? That is the impression I get from this thread, but I wonder if that really is the case.
