Or maybe "ruined" is an exaggeration (OTOH, maybe not), but at least put a damper on it. It can be how the actors turned out, facts you learned later on, anything.

I'll go, since this train of thought prompted the thread - hearing that Jim Davis was utterly bored by his own Garfield comics. (Though I'm not 100% that's true, but if it is... that's a little disappointing.)

Oh, I didn't know this. I loved Garfield. Garfield and Far Side were my two favorites as a kid.

If I had finished reading it, it may have, but I came across an 'All Grown Up and Gone their Separate Ways they hate each other now' Recess fic. It was basically WAY OTT and only Spinelli had her personality. Everyone else was just bitter and it had NO spirit of the show at all.

Albeit the fanfic was about an accidental murder they did as kids....

... in canon? Or in the fic?

Getting old.

Bill Cosby. :( I can't watch his stand-up anymore. Thankfully, I wasn't a huge fan of The Cosby Show.

And I can't watch The Cosby Show :/ it was such a big part, but it just makes me uncomfortable.

I feel this way about The Cosby Show, which I did enjoy. I'm really glad I stopped liking 7th Heaven when I grew up so that wasn't ruined for me.

I used to watch the "Bill Cosby-Himself" routine a LOT as a little kid, so yeah, I hear you on this one.

A super personal one, and I also got over it, but I could not watch Annie or listen to any of the music for many years, because I associated it with my abusive father. (He was a grade school teacher and every year he would direct a production of it so it was always heavily associated with him in my mind.) Glad I'm over that now tbh, I like Annie.

Learning about the creator of Earthworm Jim.

I used to love those games and now I can't enjoy them anymore.

ruin them for me

The Mists of Avalon with the Marion Zimmer Bradley stuff. Okay... to be honest, I still enjoy the book, but I feel guilty about that.

Jesus, this. She was a monstrous piece of shit.

For me it's the Darkover series. I can't stop loving it, it was such a huge part of my childhood and there are so many great things about it...

Not from when I was a teen, but I used to like ManvsFood. Then he did that whole 'go slit your wrists and sit in a bathtub, no one would care if you were dead' comment to a woman who was just pointing out what thinspiration meant anddddd yeah. Ruined the show for me.

OMG wow. That's a massive overreaction. What the hell?

McCaffrey's tent peg comment.
And it's hard to watch anything with Jeffrey Jones anymore.

Jian Ghomeshi, the CBC radio host who had sexual assault charges brought against him last year, used to be in a band called Moxy Fruvous that I listened to a lot; their music even helped me break the ice with someone at a time I felt very isolated and probably wouldn't have talked to otherwise. The other three band members maintained they had no idea and afaik hadn't been working with him since MF dissolved in 2000, so I feel kind of ok listening to the songs where one of them sings lead. But there's still a pall over it. (And also made one of the songs he does sing lead on (more) creepy in retrospect.)

I used to love Moxy Fruvous too. I met the band members and got their autographs several times, and now it feels creepy, even though I really do/did love a lot of their songs.

I read some stuff about Roald Dahl that made me pretty upset.

Also the Lewis Carroll child abuse allegations. IDK, man, there's enough smoke there that I'm suspicious. I wish I could just enjoy Alice In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass and all his poems.
