Re: "Hype backlash is triggered very easily for me."

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah but the OP is saying that a single person recommending something or talking about how they like it causes that kind of reaction. even in cases where the OP themselves is asking for the recommendation, so it's not even like it's getting pushed on them without their warning.

that is... kind of absurd.

Re: "Hype backlash is triggered very easily for me."

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know, I've had friends that are just hype hype hype all the time and constantly asking if I've watched/read/whatever. One person can still ruin it, imo.

But yeah, I don't know OPs specifics so maybe they are just being absurd. I just think fingals was being unnecessarily idiotic.

I just think fingals was being unnecessarily idiotic.



The OP said they specifically ask for recs knowing that their "hype backlash' will be triggered and they won't be able to enjoy the rec. It's stupid.

specifically ask for recs

except for, you know, that's not actually what the secret said.

I know we all have our off days regarding reading comprehension. So, you tell me, in what language does "I ask people what their favorite movies/books/shows/bands are" not imply that the OP should not at least expect "wholehearted recommendations."

If you are asking people what their favorite things are, what do think is going to happen?

"Oh, my favorite movie? Probably 'Hot Fuzz.' But, you shouldn't watch it. Sure, I love it, but I don't think anyone else should have the pleasure of viewing the things I love."

Come on. You ask about my favorite things, expect for me to recommend you watch/read/listen to them and see if you like them yourself.

Re: "Hype backlash is triggered very easily for me."

[(Anonymous)]

When I ask someone what they like it's because I want to know what they like.

I am not necessarily asking them because I am looking for something to watch/read/listen too. (That person and I may not have the same taste at all.) I may just be interested in someone else's likes and dislikes.

There is a HUGE difference between one friend going "OMG OMG OMG HYPE HYPE HYPE" over and over again when you didn't ask for it and one friend going "Yeah, I really like X because Y!" a SINGLE TIME because you ASKED them what their opinion was. Seriously, that doesn't even compare. Being put off by the former is understandable; the latter, silly. It also makes you seem a wee bit snobbish imo but I could just be reading that weird...

Nor was fingals being idiotic at all, they were being perfectly reasonable. And they raise a good point - OP, maybe you should examine that. It might make fandom a lot more fun, honestly.
