My question: what is a "polar responder?" I googled, but got results about Arctic expeditions, which doesn't seem right!

🥶 yeah, no Arctic notions here! A polar responder is someone who often presents with a contrary response. I guess some might say argumentative, but in my case, I often respond in opposition to the masses. One example: Back in the 90s when everyone loved the Titanic movie, I did not appreciate it. I had polar response (iceberg example intentional)! 🐻‍❄️

That makes sense. I'm not argumentative, but I my artistic tastes are often opposed to popular opinion or even sub-cultural group opinion.

I suppose another way of saying it could be a paradoxical responder? Although probably there are subtle differences…
