Rachmaninoff Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 [quote name='Lunox'][font="trebuchet ms"]Sexism is a real thing, and if it exists in a make believe story, it still exists. Who ever said media doesn't effect viewers? It's not a matter of whether I finish the series. It's the fact that it has stupid ideals in it. I hate [i]Birth of a Nation[/i] because it promotes the KKK and the savagery of black people, and it's a make-believe movie. Did I ever finish it? No, thank God...lol If you hate the factors of something, you'll probably hate the sums of them. People can hate [i]Catcher in the Rye[/i] if they hate stream-of-consciousness writing, teenagers, sarcasm, and lack of plot. :p [/font][/QUOTE]Before we get down to far on this road, I never once implied that something like sexism didn't exist or that the media doesn't effect viewers. What I said and no one seems to be listening, is I see no reason to hate a show. And I already stated here:[quote]I'm sure I'll eventually run into a show I dislike enough to hate. XP I just haven't yet. [/quote]I'm not saying people can't hate a show I'm saying that to me it makes no sense. So honestly, there's no need to defend the right to hate something just because I don't understand it. I'm sure once I run into something I truly despise I'll [I]get it[/I] at that point. Using your movie as an example, the problem with that isn't the movie, but the idiot who made it. Hating the show will change nothing, hating a book will change nothing. Hence, I see no reason to hate a show if I don't like it. Seriously, we're arguing in circles at this point since my view that it makes no sense isn't meant to be taken that people can't hate a show or dislike it to that extent, only that I, personally, do not. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangome Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 [size=1]I guess, now that I've thought about it, I have the same idea as [b]Rach[/b]. I don't so much as HATE Naruto, but hate the fandom. The fact that so many people run around drawling about how it's the best thing ever...I understand people are entitled to their own opinions, but honestly. It gets annoying. Very annoying. I do dislike the series -- I've seen MUCH better -- but many fans that I've run in to are completely obsessed with it, and I don't see why. I find it overrated, and the fandom itself is what bugs me the most. I've run in to so many that find no desire to open up to new series...and maybe the fact that Hot Topic [please keep any insults to yourself] had alot of anime merchandise, then it got overrun by so much Naruto crap that that's the only anime merchandice remaining.
