OP.

Nah, I don't think I do. I mean sometimes I don't understand why some people still like certain aspects of whatever show, but I'll keep my thoughts to myself or on my Twitter/LJ/friends. Unless someone engages with me and asks me what my issues are.

I don't see the issue with hate-watching just to be able to get through something/amuse yourself a little. But it is really, really, really irritating to be told over and over that you should stop watching or being asked repeatedly why you're still watching it. Last time I checked, I didn't have to seek permission from anyone else to watch a damn TV show. I get that people think everyone should love their fave shows or whatever, but life just doesn't work that way. I'm not sure why it's so hard for certain people to comprehend.

It's just confusing sometimes to see LJ/Twitter/Tumblr posts from the same people week after week complaining and bitching about the same damn things all the time. Like, that's the show formula. You know that. And it's probably not going to change this season. Maybe next season, when the writers have had time to process any fan reactions they've come across. At that point is when I question why you're still watching it, when you know you're going to see the same things that piss you off next week. Find some cliffnotes if you're invested in the characters but not the plot, or don't clog up my feed with the repetitive complaints. That's all I'm asking, when I'm trying to be positive about the good parts. (because even if I like a show, I know there are parts that make me cringe and go "Oh no, I can hear the SJWs complaining already, that was a terrible move on {show creator's} part")

Unfollow them. It's as simple as that. If fans are too omg!!squee!! for me when I don't like something and they do, it's time to say goodbye. If they're your friends then you just have to suck it up and accept it for what it is. People have different reasons for watching things and why can't someone post about what they DON'T like? Personally, I like to see what people do and don't like.

It depends on how objective you are, but your bias/positivity doesn't mean you should shut other people down. That is not fair.

On the flip side, your bias/negativity should not aim to shut me down for enjoying it. Which, most people who hate on things try to do.

Which, most people who hate on things try to do.

DA. What you said was fine until you said this. While I don't doubt their are fans who actively rain on other people's parade not everyone is trying to shut other people down, maybe they are just looking for a discussion or a good debate, but I know I personally do not go into people's squee fests looking to kill their joy.

So basically I don't think you should have used the qualifier "most" without any solid numbers to back that up, if you had said "some" then fine, but not "most".

Or, like in my case with TBBT, I post my thoughts through out the episode on Tumblr. It's usually negative because I hate this pair or that pair or that situation. Sometimes it's epic fun, cause something was funny and reminiscent of a previous, better season.

I'm not posting discussion topics here. Just my brain prattle at that moment. If someone wants to like or comment their dislike to me, eh, whatever. If they don't like it, they can ignore my posts or Tumblr Savior it.

I'm not there to rain on anyone's parade because I really don't expect discussion on that, since my posts are usually less than 5 sentences long.

The only time I actually "rain on someone's parade" is when I'll see post that's actively going "I hate these people!! They thought this entire romantic scene was rapey in tines!! WTF MAN?!" and I'll post my response and explain why that scene WAS that way, especially if the roles had been reversed.

Other than that, if they answer back? eh. but I post my thoughts and opinions on my blog just to get them out, not to ruin anyone's squee.

...I think I had a point at one point and then lost it. Sorry.

ayrt

Half of the time, people I see bitching about haters don't even have direct contact with them. I don't go around telling everyone what I didn't like unless they ask me or we're discussing it. But just the fact that I don't a show is often a problem for people. Maybe you think you're being shut down when really you're not.
