But why? That stuff was designed by a human. It's based on human emotions.

I don't follow the comic that closely, so maybe I'm missing something, but it doesn't seem that farfetched to me?

Actually, no. But the thing is, it's SUPPOSED to be alien. Because it's emotions felt by ALIENS.

The big one usually discussed is Kismesis. Basically, Trolls need to hate. This isn't a tsundere thing or a repressed sexual tension sublimated into antagonism, it's literally hate. Two trolls actively dislike each other, do things to ruin the other trolls life, even cripple or attempt to kill.

And yet they also are mates. In fact, this relationship is necessary for troll reporduction.

It doesn't fully make sense. But it's not really supposed to.

Also, trolls consider the relationships we'd most closely describe as "best friend who's also your foil" and "mediator between arguing parties" as distinct platonic but romantic relationships. Having two best foil friends would be an affair (but by contrast, being a mediator while having both a romantic paramour and a hate-sex relationship would be fine, these are all separate).

Of course, cause it's fandom, people see these relationships in other things they are a fan of, which obviously OP isn't liking so much. Technically, she's right, these are alien relationships with only comparisons that aren't quite accurate in human culture and can't fully be associated to other things. Less seriously though, it can be fun to do.

Now you know more then you probably ever cared about.
