While translating Kanzaki Iori's song '命に嫌われている', I've found strange the
following sentence: ...誰かを嫌うこともファッションで... Isn't が used in sentences like "I
like/hate sth"? Please explain why here it is like this. Thank you.

Why is を used instead of が in the following sentence?
> 誰か **を嫌う**

[嫌]{きら}う is a transitive verb. 「XXを嫌う」 is a correct way to say "hate XX". You
don't say 「XXが嫌う」 to mean that. I think you're confusing it with the na-
adjective 「(～が/を)嫌い(だ)」.

> 「XがY **を** 嫌う」 "X hates/dislikes Y"  
>  「XはY **が** 嫌いだ」  
>  cf.  
>  「XがY **を** [好]{この}む/[好]{す}く」  
>  「XはY **が** 好きだ」
