He is a dichotomy. Just speculating, but if he was brought up in a fanatically religious home, to the point where anything was considered wrong and dirty, coupled with physical and/or sexual abuse, that might explain why he talks against something, yet participates in that very same thing, in secret.
It's called, in psychodynamic terms, "reaction formation"...much of what we read in his posts will be an example of his mask, reading between the lines reveals the truth
Exactly. A reaction formation. Shame and fear of punishment associated with something give rise to anxious feelings and phobias. Anxiety associated with desire will manifest in the appearance of being anti-something. Sometimes there is a correlation between the severity of the anxiety and the measures taken to protest it.
