I can't parse what you're trying to say. Here's some possibilities I've come up with.
>I feel the need to conform to the subjective opinions of those around me, despite having different personal opinions and preferences
>I don't like that people voice their opinions
>I don't give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they're detractors, not advisory
Not sure if it's any of these or a combination, so I'll give a general response.
Form your own conclusions on a case by case basis.
Don't let the opinions of others control you, in any way. There's nothing wrong with people disagreeing with you, just because it happens doesn't mean you aren't allowed to speak on subjective topics. In addition, just because people are silent, doesn't mean there aren't others out there that share the opinion.
Regardless, you shouldn't seek external validation or feedback. Your thoughts and opinions should be based on your own perspective and preferences, not the appeal factor of the place you're currently speaking at.
Most importantly, this is a global communication channel. Society is living together despite our differences, it's absurd to think that the entire globe is going to agree on any topic. There's nothing wrong with someone expressing their own opinion in response, or disagreement with yours. Don't take it personally.
In relation to your specific example, you have to remember that different patterns suite different people. I recommend tools I don't personally use, to certain OTHER people, because it's better for THEM. A simple example is something like git on the cli vs some git gui frontend. It's highly subjective and particular.
>I've heard good things about X and Y, maybe look into those. I use Z myself because $list_of_personal_preferences
*I realize the irony in telling someone to think for themselves, but it can't be helped.

Is it really "creepy" to think that some people indulge in escapism/idealism? People have done that for all of time. The problem is obsession itself, not what is being obsessed over. There's nothing wrong with admiring unrealistic feminine features, there may be something wrong with obsessing over them though. It depends on what you focus on I guess. If you want to line your walls with anime in your own home, I'm okay with that as long as you're a functioning member of society outside of your free time.
It really doesn't seem that different to me than any other form of fiction or visual treat.
I guess there is the difference in terms though, between "cross dresser" and "tranny", the latter (now) carries a connotation of living that fantasy in a way that is pretty crazy.
