Everyone needs to feel superior to something, I guess. Maybe they can't find anything else

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. I can get wanting to stick with something you'd initially started out liking that's turned to crap, but I figure if I'm at the point where I honestly cannot find a single positive thing to say about the show anymore, for me, that would be a sign I should probably move on to something else that actually does entertain me.

[(Anonymous)]

Same, nonny. Some people enjoy being miserable, I suppose.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. If something I like starts to turn for the worse, I do try to stick with it for a while, but if I notice that it's starting to become a chore, that I get annoyed by it, I walk away. Fandom is supposed to be fun, and getting all worked up like that all the time is not my idea of fun.

[nightscale]

Yeah I don't get it either, if I hate something I stop watching. Hell I've done this with TV shows because I realised I wasn't having fun anymore, and TV is supposed to be fun.

And I couldn't begin to image being a part of a fandom if I hated all the characters or pairings, that just sounds like an exercise in misery.

[(Anonymous)]

some people just reaaaaaaaally enjoy having a chip on their shoulder about not liking the popular characters/pairings in a fandom and think that's a substitute for a personality.

[(Anonymous)]

+1

[(Anonymous)]

Ha. So true.

[el_regrs]

I guess for some, hateboners are the only attainable pleasure. Which I get on some level... what new ridiculous thing is gonna happen this week, so that I can laugh about it?! But even there, the person is having fun.

Having an addiction to how stupid a series can be, and then getting mad at it anyway... especially if you never liked the series in the first place... and then visiting fandom places to dump all over the series... I don't understand that at all. At that point, I seriously consider asking the person if there's, I dunno, something missing from their lives.

oh gosh same. the only times i can think of atm where i sat through something i really hated was bc it had been recommended to me and so i went in with expectations that kept me from realizing it just wasn't rly my thing a lil longer than usual.

but even that was a few years ago. now i can't even read through stupid clickbait articles (smh that i still even fall for them sometimes lmao) without stopping after two paragraphs and going "wtf am i doing i hate this???"

[(Anonymous)]

Same. Why spend all that time on energy on something you hate when you can spend it on something you like? I mean I get sticking through something that you once liked that turned bad, but even that seems to me like too much energy ill spent.

I just can’t bring myself to pay attention to stuff I don’t like. Not enough energy and hours in the day for something I DO like, let alone something I hate.

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, I'll shed some light on it.

It generally falls into:
1. It Used To Be Good, But At Some Point It Fell Off A Cliff And I'm Going Through The Stages of "My showrunners SUCK actually" Grief. (exchange showrunner as needed.)

2. I Like This One Character And/Or Ship And Hate Everyone Else, But Damn I Love This Character/Ship. (Sometimes character or ship can be replaced with 'this concept' or 'this worldbuilding.' though that's more rare.)

The other options would generally fall into "actually, I'm an asshole and love to shit on everyone's fun" because bizarrely enough, that kind of fandom interaction has become super popular on tumblr/twitter.

[(Anonymous)]

I usually end up going through 1, then either bail or cling grimly to 2 for awhile until I can’t stand it anymore.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't either. I have a limited amount of time to engage with media I DO enjoy, so why on earth would I want to waste time and energy on something I didn't?

[(Anonymous)]

Because hating on *something* gives you nice, strong feelings. Yes, I would rather love something, or SOMEONE, but the universe refuses to give me that.

[(Anonymous)]

Er, if you want something/someone to love, you have to look/work for it; I suck at making friends and am bad at one of my favorite hobbies, but that’s not the universe’s fault.

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously. Like, no wonder you can't find someone to love if you're expecting them to just come to you. That's not how it works. You have to put in effort on your part to meet people and get to know them.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know whether to be sorrier for you, or the people you know.

If you meant that the way you phrased it, then that is really, really sad. I know that sounds extremely bitchy, but I don't mean it that way. I really think it's sad. You should never have to feel like you can't love someone, or that the universe owes you something, or live in such a state of resentment that you settle for hating on things just to feel something.

[(Anonymous)]

Same though. I'd much rather watch something that I enjoy (or might enjoy) rather than watch something I know I hate or likely will hate. It's a waste of my time.
