I don't get people. They'll hate something just in concept and they've never seen it in context. Like wtf.

I try to temper my hopes with lots of company schlock but I also wanna go in with a somewhat open mind.

Idk

Sometimes people's distaste is justified and sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's rooted in real toxic behavior and social media + YouTube has made critical readings of art a nightmare.

#im just vague posting cause goddammit i wanna be excited about something but not have to go in knowing itll probably be bad #usa education system failed to teach people good literary critical thinking skills #social media is also just the worst to discuss nuance #someone will have a 2 hr video essay and the comments are people arguing off topic #distracted and arguing over one side comment #or just rambling paragraphs of illiterate nonsense #we have great platforms to share ideas and think critically and expand our view points #while also having endless dumb arguments that get us nowhere #both are true
