Contrarian?
No.
Anti-contrarian?
If you mean 'against people who are contrarian', no. If you mean 'for popular opinions', no.
Data point: I'm anti-contrarian (well, somewhat) in emotional sentiment, but not in any rationally held principle, and I'm trying not to mistreat contrarians, especially if I'm curious about their ideas. This might be unpleasant to admit, though, as it's basically prejudgice.
