Re: Weird and/or unpopular reasons you won't read/watch certain things

Not always, but I have turned away from a show or movie if there aren't shippable characters.

I won't watch anything that's grim-dark or "realistic". I want media to be fun (and by fun, I mean I hope Civil War rips my heart out because I'm still pretty sure I'll get a happy ending in the end). This can sometimes extend to "artsy" Oscar-bait type movies.

Sometimes my interactions with fans of a fandom have turned me off a fandom (i.e. Steven Universe). Also, any time people go on and on about the SJ points the media gets, it lessens my interest considerably.

I won't watch shit on Netflix because I hate the medium, but if it comes out on DVD, I'll check it out.

If a show/movie's premise looks like it's going to have a lot of embarrassing moments, I'm out of there.

I can't stand secondhand embarrassment either. I couldn't even read Anansi Boys even though the secondhand embarrassment was a plot point, because it made me cringe so much. The only exception is Jeeves and Wooster, where I know the embarrassing moment will soon be satisfactorily resolved, so I try not to cringe too hard. I do pause a lot when watching the TV series though, just to steel myself before I face Bertie's embarrassments.
