What were the causes of the low score? - Pet

It's one thing to not care about the homosexual portrayal of the relationships, and another thing to be put off by them. If you just "weren't into gay relationships" then you would've watched it without prejudice. The fact that you (or anybody else, for that matter) actively avoid the show or dislike it because of the gayness means it makes you uncomfortable (implying you 'fear' it) and this is where your homophobia shows.

Ehhh, I think there can be a difference between preference vs hate. Not wanting to watch a show because of it having homosexual vibes or 'gayness' doesn't necessarily need to have a negative connotation behind it, it could just be a case of not preferring to watch those kinds of shows because of say, commonly used tropes for instance, or one may not get general enjoyment from those type of shows (i.e., ones that supposedly have a lot of "queerbaiting") in the first place. And it's also a case of reality vs. fiction, one's preferences over what to watch don't necessarily have to correlate with their irl views (just look at all the disgusting fetishes out there like rape, loli, ntr, etc). If we talk about hating the show because of gayness, then yes I agree with your points.

This. I for one don't care much for cars (looking at your banner :)) and so I didn't enjoy Redline and won't be watching any other car-themed anime any time soon. But that doesn't mean I hate cars (that'd be stupid, cars are very convenient). I just don't find it interesting to watch them riding around, is all. Does nothing for me.
