unfan

The act of becoming a fan of an entity on Facebook in order to publicly criticise said entity (verb), or a person who does this (noun), as exemplified by the mass criticism on Nestlé's Facebook page over the company's use of palm oil and subsequent censoring of its online presences.

Has parallel behaviours in other social media (though the irony doesn't translate as well in more language-neutral cases like Twitter's 'follow' function).

Uncanny Valley

First theorized by Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori in 1970, the Uncanny Valley basically states that the closer a robot or other nonhuman entity gets to resembling a human, the more humans will like and empathize with it.

However, there is a point in development where humans instead become strongly repulsed by the barely-human robot/entity. Fortunately, this effect fades as the robot/entity becomes less distinguishable from a human.

Although hotly debated, the theory is present in many sci-fi movies and the like, and has been used to explain people's reactions to some computer generated characters.
I can't get into "Rumble Roses" because the girls just don't look quite right to me. I guess it's the Uncanny Valley at work.
