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)
