scarletspeed7 01/28/18 6:32:34 PM #51:	Mr Lasastryke posted... scarletspeed7 posted... Is it really that dismissive to say, "You've only read one story with the character and you liked it. But you dislike the character," expecting some sort of actual response? I pointed out a discrepancy. He had the opportunity to say, "Hey, this is why I don't like Superman." But he can't articulate it. So it becomes dismissive because he has nothing to back up his emotional outburst. what's the discrepancy? like i said, it's entirely possible to like a story but to dislike a character in it, even the main character. they're two separate things. and at least he read one superman story. sure, it's a laughably sample size and it's like disliking batman because you didn't like him in the 1966 movie or something, but at least he's basing his dislike on something. also, according to your story he WAS going to respond but "you were finished yourself," so... Goddammit this is what happens when I move on in a thought and I write unclear sentences. He said something about DC's writers being really bad at that point and the other customer at the counter took this bait, and I continued ringing up his purchase. I'm just going to give up because I wanted to talk about how it seems like everything is about like-hate without any real reasoning but I can see that apparently I'm just an asshole for not wanting someone to constantly interrupt conversations they are not a part of with very negative generic statements. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:894988544] in Opinions, ...
