Not everyone can handle criticism. Some people identify a lot with their fandoms, and tend to think that criticism agaisnt their fandom is criticism against their taste/intelligence/whatever.

[sarillia]

Yup. There is a certain movie that I would like to never hear about again because a friend of a friend would go on and on defending it if anyone said anything against it and these friends would bait him all the time because they thought it was funny and couldn't believe that he kept falling for it every time.

[lb_lee]

Dare I ask what movie it was? I'm morbidly curious.

[sarillia]

Interstellar. Guy's a Nolan fanboy.

[lb_lee]

Ooooooh. Yup, that'd do it.

Seriously, here's to the folks who can laugh at their favorites! It's tough, but it can be a real pain in the ass otherwise.

[sarillia]

I love laughing at my favorites. There were shows my friends and I used to watch together where anyone who heard us would think we hated them but we loved them and we loved making fun of them. Since you're probably curious, the main one was Naruto.

[lb_lee]

Yeah, while my favorite movie is Wild Zero, which is shamelessly silly and cracktastic and the plot and story make NO sense whatsoever.

Oof, Naruto. From everything I've heard, that's a hard show to be a fan of.

I think OP doesn't need to criticize it, OP just needs to go "it doesn't click with me" or "sorry man just can't get into it" or any other vague neautral but non-insulting way to get across they're not interested. In the most vague neutral way possible. (practice on how to give polite airs of disinterest?)

'cause going straight to 'critique'* of a show their friend identifies with could be considered rude.

But then OP's friend has already jumped to 'fake SJW' claims so probably too late to avoid an over reaction.


*I wouldn't consider OP's reasons for disliking it as proper critique and well is critique needed for everythign? Can't OP just say they don't like it and leave it at that without ripping into friend's presumably fave show?

Critique is a useful thing to learn to accept, but over a tv show or something is not the best way to learn it because they can't help enjoying it anymore than OP can help not enjoying it.

Sadly, with some people you can't just say "I didn't like it" or "It didn't click with me" and be certain of them leaving it. I've had friends and acquaintances take that as an invitation to find a way to bring me around. Oh, you didn't like the first couple of episodes? Let me tell you about season three! It didn't click for you? Why? You can't tell me? Well maybe you didn't watch it closely enough! Let me enumerate all the reasons I love it to try and convince you! They just love it so much they can't quite accept that someone they know and like doesn't also love it and they're determined to share that love, whether it's wanted or not. In that case almost any critique can result in hurt feelings.

It's fucking exhausting.

Yeah, there are some people who will take rejection of their favorite show as a ~personal rejection~ and try that much harder to get people to like it.
