ok so you've heard of the 'I liked this before it was popular' crowd, now get ready for the equally insufferable 'I disliked this thing when everyone else liked it & now everyone hates it so I feel smug' lot lol...
#personal#nothing is more frustrating that people trying to make u feel bad for liking a thing when said thing was popular#just cos now the thing is now seen as bad#ive seen this sorta thing a lottt in regards to things like harry potter#& like yh there are many MANY valid critiques & jk rowling is a bigot#but trying to claim moral superiority just cos u never got into the books is so fucking dumb imo#and just to b clear i know the appeal of this kinda thing cos when the last star wars film was poorly received#i was incredibly smug at having never gotten intothe franchise#plus when got final series was shit i was part of the 'i stopped around s4' lot#so i get it i get why u wanna push down against things that u used to b slated for criticising#but i just wished people did it w/ more tact u kno??#i also see this a lot w/ cancelled celebs btw#people being like oh i always thought (someone) was never actually talented or attractive#which is just reductive#cos newsflash sometimes assholes produce good art! that's just a reality#& claiming 'this thing was never good because this celebrity is cancelled now' is just so dumb lol#idk im probs not explaining this well#& i kno a lot of people who do this r young#but it's still frustrating....#(what kinda sparkef this was people talking about p!atd & how it was oNly good when it was the original line up)#(which is just... not true lol... but yh anyway these tags r too long u get the picture lol)
