I'm convinced it's got some shit to do with the decline of religion and other "social clubs" like Bowling leagues and Elks Lodge and shit like that. And I say this as a dude that isn't religious in the slightest I think a decent amount of people put the same energy they would give towards religion or super competitive or encompassing clubs towards the fandoms they're apart of. It'd explain the almost religious zeal and white hot rage which some people will display towards the media they consume. --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console.

And its like, thats fine. No one has to like EVERYthing. But I truly dont understand why it cant just be I dont like this thing, so I wont watch it and Ill put it out of my mind instead of I dont like this thing. SO I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT EVERY CHANCE I GET SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS HOW MUCH I HATE IT! And if I see people enjoying it? Oh man I cant wait to tell them how wrong they are for liking itAnd, yeah yeah, I know its just people being passionate about something there are ways to be passionate without being a complete assclown. There are parts of things I love that Im not fond of, so I dont pay them any mind. Its not difficult at all.Somewhere along the way, grown adults became so infantilized when it comes to fiction that they enjoy and honestly, I think its disturbing as fuck.</quote>I'm convinced it's got some shit to do with the decline of religion and other "social clubs" like Bowling leagues and Elks Lodge and shit like that.

Also similarly annoying was LOST, even a decade later. One user on here (I think it was jeff) started a watch thread mentioning he'd watched the pilot and loved it.

apocalyptic_4 09/24/22 8:12:17 PM #48:	It's like a cheap soap opera fanfic version of Lotr. Other than names and cgi this just dosen't resemble lord of the rings at all.
