I gotta admit, I'm more often like the OP's friend in this situation. (My one friend and I will often negotiate a joint recommendation viewing party or something. In 20+ years, I can count on one hand the number of times I thought I'd dislike something she wanted to watch and was actually wrong about that prediction. She'd probably say the same. Miraculously, we're still friends.) Everyone has limited time to take in new media, and most people are pretty aware of their tastes and preferences. Sorry, OP, but no one "makes" you play or watch the things your friend recommends; you agree to do so. Maybe if your friend did the same, they would end up liking it, and that's their loss. Maybe not.

It's not that your taste is BAD, OP. It's that people's tastes are different. Just because you share one (or more) fandoms doesn't mean you have to share all of them. Don't take hyperbolic dismissal of a form of entertainment as a personal insult against you.

This though. I just recently dropped a friend because any time I (or another mutual friend) didn't share her obsession with a game/movie, she acted like we were insulting her, her family and her family's family. People like different things, so just because I don't share the same taste in games, doesn't mean that I'm taking a giant dump on the franchises in general.

Yeah, I think this is what it is in the end.
We have a lot of different fandoms and stuff we don't share and we both are very "live and let live" about it, at least I thought so. I also thought we were at the similar level when it comes to checking each other's recs, so I just was surprised by the complete shut down and got offended because I didn't expect it.
I'll get over it, I guess.
