I sort of get this. I've done it once or twice, though not with friends, more in general online discussions.

It's just that if you claim you don't like something because of sexism/racism/homophobia, people just sort let it slide and say 'you might be right' because they don't want wank. If you say you don't like something because you personally don't like the characters or thought the plot was boring or whatever, people are much more inclined to keep hounding you about it. 'Give it more time', 'I know it starts slow, but...', etc. It's natural to want to defend your favorites, I've done it too, but it can get annoying.

It's a shitty thing to do though, using those issues to get out of that discussion. I felt bad doing it.

Seriously?

In my experience, saying you don't like something because of an -ism or a -phobia is the quickest way to start a shitstorm.

Saying it's not your thing and then shutting down (politely) any attempts to change your mind is far less trouble. More effort, I grant you, but much less trouble.
