AYRT - No I mean, sometimes I would say "I did" only to later remember I didn't and vice-versa, because it's not something I cared enough to remember the actual answer. Nowadays I'm quick to explain "noo I was mistaken, I mistook that for another show" or whatever, but there was a time when once I realized my mistake I wasn't so keen on admitting to it, because I didn't know how to do it in a not-too-awkward way and it felt like a letdown and I worried about letting others down more than nowadays (lol I am the person who once RPed a character who sang songs from a show I had never watched because I knew the popular songs and that's how I wound up in that situation) .

What I am trying to say is, my memory kind of sucks, so I totally understand people who are like this. On the other hand what do people have to gain from actively lying about something like that? If the answer is "nothing" maybe this is why I don't understand the hatred, or maybe I have never been on the receiving end in a way that bugged me because whether someone else watched a show or not is generally not something I am too concerned about. As stated, sometimes I watched a show and didn't remember anything 2 days later. If I don't care too much for whether I watched a show or not, how could I care too much for whether others have?

Again maybe it's just that I can't imagine the type of situation where this would be a serious matter. Or maybe it's just that I truly see these things in a different way than most fandom people just like I don't care a lot for fanfic or whatever.

DA

To a lot of the people replying, I think this is not a serious matter. At all. It certainly isn't to me. Even if you deliberately, intentionally lied to me about having seen a show or not seen it, I tend to assume that when I ask a question, people have a right to not answer it or reply in a way that doesn't unduly stress them out. I'm trying to have a conversation with them, not interrogate them!

And not everyone who asks "have you watched this thing?" is necessarily being entirely honest about themselves, either. I've occasionally denied having watched things, on purpose, because I got the impression that the other person was trying to trap me with information (relating to explicit, gay media) that they would use against me, as opposed to trying to find out if it was safe to talk about the thing. No one is just across the board OWED honesty, in all situations.

And IMO, there's really no shortcut to figuring out on a case by case basis how far you can trust other people.
