For all that Blake expresses her dislike of the personality trait she believes her semblance to be based on (cowardice) she never actually states a dislike of her semblance itself. In fact, she finds it quite the useful tool and uses it liberally.

What I meant by that sentence was rather that they wouldn't hate it to the point that they refuse to use it despite how useful it could be. Someone who abhors poison with a passion and would never use it would never end up with a poison semblance, even if their personality and life events may make them well suited for such a semblance.
