regrettably they seem to be one of those sorts of people who HAVE to complain about not liking something. They can't just let something be because it's not for them, are you kidding? asking them to keep it to themselves would be 'silence their voice' and taking away their rights! *le gasp*


I see a lot of those type online but they are abundant in real life too. Also Homophobia.

Yeah, I know people are like that. I'm just saying that I don't understand that urge. I also don't understand someone not liking something and then continuing to consume whatever media the thing is if they don't like it. I know other people do this too.

I guess I'm just frustrated because I recognize people are like that but I can't figure a logical reason why. Because I keep thinking they have to get something out of it.

DA

It's not logical. It's purely emotional... and sometimes just knowing in your gut that the media could be better without the writer's insane urge to include X, Y, Z in what was otherwise a fantastic piece.

That you like X, Y, Z or that a large percentage of the group consuming that piece of media doesn't mind X, Y, Z is neither here nor there. (Or you're just dead wrong and lack any semblance of taste. It depends how confrontational the person's opinions are.)

Re: DA

[forgottenjester]

Ah, I see. Emotional. But doesn't there have to be some kind of... reward for that behavior? Something to make them want to do it again? Some positive... reinforcement or something?

Re: DA

It's more like... catharsis.

Which is rewarding in and of itself even if the thing doesn't change itself to conform to your demands.

Re: DA

[forgottenjester]

Aaaahhhhh catharsis. That I can understand.

You know, thank you for taking the time to explain this to me. It really helps and I appreciate it.

No problem!

I read a book sporking regarding a particular author because I like the sporker and the discussion in the sporking journal. I've read the books that they're bitter about but I'm more 'meh' myself. (Although I totally get into the discussions and the spork because Ideas!)

It's given me a lot of time to think about the phenomenon.

(Although, yeah, there's a ton of bitterness involved too. Again, because there was great love and now it's great hate. You've got to let off steam somehow and that's certainly one way..)

Re: DA

[forgottenjester]

Ah, sporkings. I remember those. Mostly I remember some of them making me giggle because of the jokes. I want to say, "They're still around?" but of course they have to be.

Hmmm, but yeah, that makes sense. It seems so clear now that you explain it but I was truly baffled before. Ah, hindsight is 20/20 and unforgiving. Anyway, thanks again.
