CMV: "meta attraction" isn't a real thing

There's no academic research or anything about this concept. Afaik it's just something that bled into the tttt consciousness from nowhere significant. Like, I don't believe in the blanch stuff, but at least it has some kind of fake academic credibility.

And imo it makes no sense? Like, imagine I like the taste of oranges, and my friend likes the taste of apples. So my way of satisfying my love for oranges is to feed my friend an orange whilst he feeds me an apple? Like how tf does that make sense?
