    Is "daquilo" the masculine form of "daquele"

      no.daquela is feminine and daquele is masculine. Daquilo is neutral, that is, when it is not related to a masculine or feminine word, but in general sense.

        So daquela should also be accepted here?

              Just report. It should be accepted.

                There should be dates on these answers to see how long it takes for them to correct it, as I just gave the same answer (desse) and it was marked wrong too.

                  Why daquilo and not daquele or daquela?

                    Daquilo is neutral

                    • daquele (masc) and daquela (fem) are used with a noun or when a something (a noun) has been mentioned earlier in the conversation.

                      Why isn't it "Eu nao gosto deste"?

                        that is for "I don't like this one"

                          What about "Eu não gosto desse"?

                            Also correct, although to my ears "desse" still seems something close to me...=/

                              And because there's no specific noun referenced, it would naturally be "daquilo" anyway, right?

                                Yes, or "disso" if you want to refer to somethig closer.

                                            Why is "Ele naõ gosto nisso" incorrect?

                                              You should use "Eu não gosto disso" (gostar + de)
