Bullet point summary at bottom if you don’t want to hear full explanation.
A MUD defined by involuntarily devloping strong feelings of love(not nessacarily romantic) in opposition to hatred or dislike.
For example, let’s say somebody expresses hatred/dislike for a certian character, a person with OpLD will begin to love that character, even if they agree with the critcisms or previsously also hated the character. This change can happen insantly or slowly overtime. This applies to everything, not just characters, that was just the easiest example.
They may struggle to feel haterd at all or can only feel it for short periods of time as they develop love to oppose their own hatred.
This will often lead to the person devloping intrests that are considered strange, weird or taboo. It can lead the person feeling excluding for always having the unpopular opinion. It can also lead to an intrest in(or attraction to) “harmful” subjects or behaviors,tho they are not in anyway forced to act on it beyond fantasy.
This can sometimes lead to dangerous situations. For example someone who is truthfully called harmful, dangerous, bad and manipulitive but someone with OpLD hears this and involuntarily develops love for them in oppostion to this hate so befriends the dangerous indvidual.
