Seems like this sort of secret's been cropping up a lot lately.

I suppose there's been some sort of overload/oversaturation that's causing it? Nyar.

Anyway, to your point: it's weird how attached we become to those things we strongly like or dislike, isn't it? Even though we understand on an intellectual level that our love for a particular piece of media is purely subjective, we still have difficulty accepting that others might feel differently about it, and so we try to convince them of the rightness of our own perceptions ("Your thinking is too rigid, and you didn't give this book/movie/TV show enough of a chance! If you stick with it, you'll see how great it is!" "You're not thinking critically about this book/movie/TV show! If you compare it to other media, and consider the following points, you'll see how terrible it is!"). Our interests become so much a part of us that encountering someone with different interests feels almost like a rebuke; as such, we respond defensively.

It's silly, and it's an illusion, but it's so hard not to do it. I think one could study those who would try to convince you that you're "doing it wrong" and, from such research, extrapolate quite a bit to the overall human condition.

...but...

Really, people just lay off. You like what you like, and you dislike what you dislike, and not only is there nothing wrong with it, but nothing (apart from your own experiences and ever-evolving taste) will change it.
