» Thu May 29, 2014 2:25 pm There's something funny/weird/quarky I've noticed about this forum and its posters, and that's the fact that people here seem to be very judgmental against things they don't like as if this fraction of a sliver of the internet holds authority on what actually matters in the world. 
It's honestly quite cute, in a weird kind of way.
An opinion is subjective, it varies with the person and their personal experiences. So you can't really say anything about anything as a definitive statement.
You could say "no one likes Justin Bieber!" yet tens of millions of billions of screaming girls run at you wanting to destroy your soul for the blasphemy you just uttered.
See? Everything is subjective. This forum in particular has a bad case of thinking that certain things svck really badly even though their vastly and wildly popular and enjoyable to literally millions of people. The show Lost? Hugely successful, but according to this forum, it was the worst show ever. The game "World of Warcraft"? Hugely successful, the most popular MMO to ever be created, holding a title of most subscribers (12 MILLION people at its peak) for literally 8 years, yet according to *everyone* on this forum, it's apparently the most horrendous video game ever created, it's awful, it svcks, and it has no replay value. Huh. Weird how that works? 
According to the vast majority of this forum, things deserve no credit despite being hugely popular. I hear the argument so much here, and only here, that if something is popular, it's bad, and popularity does not denote quality. But then..you have to again look at what the definition of an opinion is. It's personal. If it doesn't apply to you, then that's fine, but it doesn't mean what you dislike is definitively bad. I just get hung up on that when people post here so hatefully against something that is EXTREMELY POPULAR and successful. Like movies, sports, certain games, MMO's, anything.
"Uh, Cher svcks. She literally is awful. She's popular, but who cares, that means nothing. The quality of her music is awful."
....yes, despite her selling, what, 400 million records? She must be awful. o_O I just do not get that mindset, at all. Am I weird for being so third party about this stuff? I mean, sure, I don't like certain things. I hate the show "Grey's Anatomy". Worst show I've ever seen. And I did give it a chance, few seasons. Hate it.
But that doesn't discredit the fame of the show, or the quality, because obviously it's extremely popular, and I can respect that. People like it. I get it. That's..fine? I mean, isn't that supposed to be fine..?
So, I guess my question/point here is..why everybody so uptight? Why you gotta hate on things so much? If you don't like something, that's fine, it doesn't fit your personality, which is literally all it is, biologically. Doesn't suit you. That's fine. But why the hostility towards those things? It's uncalled for...
