My opinion is the norm. It's backed up by critics and fans. I want to know what specifically this person has against the show, because it seems like some fans just love to hate regardless of quality.

It's just strange, it feels like you're approaching this with some weird hostility rather than just being genuinely curious about what they don't like.

It feels like you're trying to figure out if they have a good enough reason to be allowed to not like the show that you do. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

You don't think it's weird that the haters can never explain why?

He definitely explained why. Read again.

[โ€“] nostrauxendar@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't keep up with why people do or don't like things that I don't have strong feelings about, but I would put money on "haters" having their own reasons for not liking this show, and you simply rejecting those explanations, based on this conversation.

[โ€“] P00ptart@lemmy.world -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No nobody can say why. They just throw around vagueries like "bad writing" "it's not like the game" it's meaningless without explanation, but they never even try. I would even totally accept "too silly" or "meh wasn't my thing" but no, they bash it in a way that you're left unsure if they even watched it at all.

What's the difference between "too silly" and "bad writing"? You've got to be pulling my leg at this point man ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] P00ptart@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Too silly is an opinion, opinions can't be wrong. Bad writing is trying to establish a fact that isn't there.

[โ€“] nostrauxendar@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Right okay, well fair enough, good luck ๐Ÿ‘

You do realize that "the show has bad writing" implies "I think the show has bad writing", right?

Have you considered that your opinion is the norm because they appealed to mainstream instead of a core audience?

Art that tries to appeal to everyone will inevitably alienate some people.

Lol cope, Trump got elected twice just because something is popular doesn't mean it isn't trash
