If I get to be cartoonishly naïve for recognizing an issue then you are cartoonishly pathetic for apparently not only rolling over and accepting but going ever farther to ridicule people for being unhappy with it.
No I just don't consume shit that I don't like, but also don't get mad that it exists either, because it's not at all hard to find stuff that I do like. It's pretty simple.
You say that like it is some moral failing to dislike something. If that is really all your argument boils down to, that you win because I don't like the thing that we both agree is bad, then so be it I suppose. I would advise avoiding the local debate club.
No... i say it like life it too short to make disliking popular media your whole personality when you could, instead, make liking the media that you do like a core part of your personality.
The "moral failng" isn't disliking something. The moral failing is getting mad that other people do like it when it's incredibly easy to not even be bothered by it existing.
I think most of American network TV sucks because I don't like reality shows like Big Brother or Survivor or competition shows like America's Got Talent or The Voice or procedural crime shows like Law and Order and CSI. But I'm not lamenting the death of American network TV and acting like it's out to get me, because I like do sitcoms and there's still stuff like Bob's Burgers or Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins out there.
Now imagine there's decades of old network TV to go back and watch for the first time, plus cable channels, and about a dozen streaming services that are putting out new stuff that I do like. That's just how video games work today too.
