how does someone find a whole genre a "squick"?

[kaishi]

That sucks, OP. *hugs*

[(Anonymous)]

That sounds really frustrating.

I'm sorry OP. I've had situations where someone seemed eager to read the fics I read until I gave them some reccs and then they never really talked to me much afterwards. It's a bad feeling, especially if I felt like they were judging my tastes.

[(Anonymous)]

Real talk, I've had multiple friends whom I absolutely adore as people and love spending time with, but literally you couldn't pay me to watch their favorite shows, and I do use them as a barometer of negative taste. IE, if they like it, I know I probably won't. People want different things out of media, sometimes that have nothing to do with clearly definable genre or plot points, and that's OK.

For example, I love fantasy and scifi, but I loathe CW style shallowly written TV. Friends trying super earnestly to get me into SPN/Teen Wolf/Hemlock Grove/etc are not going to succeed! I like to think I wouldn't lie that I hate vampires and then rock up with the Barbara Hambly Those Who Hunt the Night books, but I'm smoother than most at deflecting without resorting to something like that. Maybe she was on the spot and panicked, idk.)

Maybe she really does think your taste is garbage. It doesn't necessarily mean she's a bad person or a fake friend or doesn't like you. It just means she knows saying "actually I think your taste is atrocious" is fucking rude! And lots of people are uncomfortable insulting their friends!

Either ask her straight out to be honest with you - and be willing to hear it if that's the answer - or just back off a little. It's sad that she doesn't share your interests but it doesn't have to mean the death of a friendship unless one of you takes it personally.

My first thought was that they might rec X based on things other people have recced to them that they were squicked by but thought 'oh, OP reads X, I can pass this on to them'. But, of course, I don't know how these conversations go, nor am I privy to any other conversations between OP and acquaintance.

I haven't watched that since I was a child but I remember loving it and do not recall the racism. Eek. I'm wondering if I should rewatch it or just let it live happily in my innocent ignorant memories of my youth.

[(Anonymous)]

they already did a remake of it

it was called wall-e and they made johnny 5 fall in love with an ipod

[pantswarrior]

I would be so on board with that. Because yes, I watched both movies so many times as a kid that upon seeing one again a few months back I could still hear every line and all the music in my head before they actually happened.

But yeah, as much as I liked Ben in the sense of geeky awkward character, by modern standards he really is rather embarrassing. -_-

thank you for doing my secret! and you picked a great picture

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't watch this show regularly, but the few evil Lilith jokes I remember were funny because IMO, they said more about Frasier than they did about Lilith. I thought that was the point of it, but maybe they went overboard on the whole thing, which wouldn't surprise me.

[(Anonymous)]

I hated the Lilith jokes on Cheers, but for some reason they never bothered me on Frasier? I think it's because the whole setup of Frasier is that he's an insufferable ass, so the jokes were more a joke about him? But I can definitely understand why you wouldn't like them. And I haven't seen the show in ages so I very well may feel the same if I were to rewatch!

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I agree. From memory, it was mostly based on her personality rather than anything she'd done, and it's not like she got a different personality after they broke up.

I kind of like that thought, actually. It would work well thematically.

Okay I've never heard of this book and just looked it up and still have no idea what your secret means, but I am definitely intrigued. I enjoy YA/Middle grade fantasy as a nice quick read, so I think I'll be checking this out soon. Thanks OP!

Oof OP that is a hard situation. You honestly sound like a really good friend the way you've been trying to be supportive but also dealing with the frustration. I have no solution, but I know what you're going through and hopefully your friend chills on the new diagnosis obsession soon and you can get back your friendship equilibrium.
