Inspired by today's Secret#6. Can relate to anything inside or outside of fandom. Be it a subject, trend, idea or whatever else, what did you initially have a bad opinion of that has now changed to a positive opinion or perhaps merely a neutral one? Why?

Used to hate weapon crafting in games but I've opened my heart to the material grind.

Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Main character aside, I mean, but the rest of the show, despite its Rick and Morty tone, is surprisingly enjoyable.

What? Those shows are literally exactly nothing alike aside from being animated sci-fi comedies. Lower Decks has a light hearted Scrubs style moral of the week vibe with a genuine wholesomeness to it and actually plays everything fairly straight with maybe a few Whedon quips thrown in. Rick and Morty is full millennial post ironic self referential dark surrealist humour and storylines.

Like all cop opinions, you could scarcely be more wrong.

I haven't seen the new season yet, but the show finally won me over with the line about how there's nothing to do on Earth except hang out at vineyards and soul food restaurants.

Used to point blank dislike super girly characters or at least not make them favorites. Now I love really girly characters even though I also still love very masculine female characters. Just give me all the variety and all the female characters.

I used to be much "pickier" in which female characters I liked. Either the writing has gotten much better across the board for female characters or I have chilled way the fuck out on that front.

Also, sparkling water.

I used to be a lowkey anti. I didn't harass anyone, but expressed my opinions in my own LJ a few times. So I guess I was against pretty much all dark kinks: Noncon, underage, incest--especially between older generation and younger generation, serial killer stuff where the cruelty is the kink. Basically anything DD;DNE.

I still find all of that stuff very squicky, but I don't judge people for their fictional kinks anymore. I didn't used to understand how people could kink on something in fiction that would horrify them IRL. I was like, "That makes no sense; that's not how it works." It took me a while to realize that other people's relationship to kink is different than mine.

When I was in my early 20s, I thought it was gross when women over 40 wrote porn of underage characters. I wasn't an anti, because back then those women were looked up to and I would've been mocked off the internet for getting grossed out over something so dumb. I just judged them hard all by myself. Now I wish the ladies from back then would all come in a horde with their well-written underage anime porn (which I'd gladly read now) and make the stupid kids go away.

I wonder why it's "over 40" specifically. People in their 20s and 30s openly fantasizing about teenagers is not significantly less gross if it were an IRL situation. Of course it's not, and anyone can write about characters of any age, IMO - but there seems to be a certain age where it's a cutoff, and not by coincidence it happens to be around the same age where women become sexually invisible, actresses have trouble getting work as romantic leads (though men decades older still can), etc.

I think there's some mommy issues/ageism directed specifically at older women who write about sex that doesn't get talked about enough, IMO.

Leggings. In high school, I would chant Leggings aren't Pants! and lowkey make fun of people wearing them. Now I love them.

To be fair though, it was really hard to find actual leggings at the time so what girls would wear was either old, crappy dance leggings or wearing two pair of tights, so they would be very obviously see-through. And t-shirt styles were still pretty short so it was pretty much impossible to find a shirt that would cover your butt.

a long time ago I was a homophobic christian, now I'm am atheist with more GLBT friends than straight friends, if that isn't change I'd like to know what is.
