Most people dislike things that scare them, and that's pretty rational.

Fear and hate are very closely related.... By ignorance.

A: I hate seagulls for personal reasons. Fear is not among them.

@PolyamorousPlaymates Well now I'm curious why you hate seagulls.

@Straylight Grew up on the coast. Seagulls were constantly stealing my stuff just to drop it into the sea water.
