There's a difference between not liking something and spending an inordinate amount of time talking about why you don't like it, usually in the spaces of those who do. The necessity of some people to do that (rather than just, perhaps, not watch things they don't like and move on to something that they do) is pretty difficult to understand.

Unless they're masochists, or just want to bring down the people who do enjoy it. Then it's quite simple.

But the original anon who started this comment thread ASKED PEOPLE WHY IT HAD TO BE CLEVER. They asked and then got upset when someone responded to their question and they didn't like their answer.

You have a pretty bizarre definition of upset. I wasn't, nor am I, upset. Or bothered. And the responses on this particular thread are not at all what I was referring to when I say people harp on about how Sherlock isn't clever or even good at all. It happens everywhere, all the time, for no apparent reason that I can discern. Granted, this isn't a phenomenon exclusive to Sherlock, I just happen to enjoy Sherlock and therefore I notice it. I personally don't waste my time watching things that disappoint me, nor do I waste my time going on about how disappointed I am. I would rather watch things I genuinely like and discuss those things. And I will say again, I don't CARE that people do it, I just don't GET it. People can do it if they want, I have no interest in stopping them. But I don't do it, I would never do it, and I don't understand the behavior.

You wouldn't dwell on why Sherlock isn't a different show than it is, but you'll happily dwell on people who bring up the idea (in response to a question you asked) that Sherlock could be, in their opinion, a better show. Like several comments above, what's not to get? People don't like the thing you like, and sometimes they talk about it... dead simple.

Let's reiterate: you asked a question, someone responded, and the very next comment from you is about people who dwell on the subject you asked about. How is that logical? At that point in the thread, the "dwelling" consisted of one reply to your question.

To be honest, when people claim over and over again they're totally fine with X but they don't get it when X is a fairly basic fact of life (people disliking things you like), I get suspicious. Only a person who's lacking in basic intelligence would fail to grasp this idea... or a person who's being purposely oblivious so they can complain about the people who dislike the thing they like.

People disliking something you like, yes a basic fact of life.

People who go out of their way to keep reminding you of just how much they dislike the thing you like, long after their dislike is relevant if it was at all? They're the oblivious ones who get off on endless complaining.

Personally I'm far more suspicious of the latter.
