Do you think people mean it when they call themselves "trash" for liking someone/something? Or say "If X happens, I'll kill myself" or...

People use exaggerated language, especially in regards to fandom, news at 11.

What does this have to do with the original post?

OP isn't talking about other people who use exaggerated language about other things. OP is talking about a friend who called her recommended series garbage that she "would never watch." That, to me, comes off as extreme instead of simply saying "no thanks" or "I don't like things like that."

It wasn't a reply to the original post; it was a reply to you. Again: people use hyperbole all the time, especially in fandom. To many people, "that's garbage" would have the same connotation as "I don't like things like that". Just because you don't read it that way doesn't mean the OP's friend was being purposely insulting.

[el_regrs]

I was talking about an extreme reaction in regards to the original post. I am not talking about other people who use exaggerated language in other situations. Clearly, OP did not take "that's garbage" simply to mean "I don't like things like that" if she was put off by the reaction. Could OP's friend have meant it that way? It's possible, but there's no need to imply that I've never heard of anyone else in the world using exaggerated language.
