Shoot 'em. Politely...
It’s possible to enjoy things, while still recognizing their problems

yamino:

There seems to be this pervasive notion that being a fan means you’re not allowed to critique the things you love.  I don’t understand… if you love something, wouldn’t you want it to be the best it can be? That includes recognizing things that could be improved upon.

It’s also possible to enjoy something you totally hate.  Like… I loathe Ke$ha, everything she stands for and sings about, but… I secretly dance her to her music sometimes.  It makes me feel dirty*,  but it’s got a good beat for shaking your caboose.  

* Not in Ke$ha’s “I just crawled out of a dumpster” glam kind of dirty, but the “All the perfumes of Arabia could not wash the stench of this shame off my hands” kind.

    Agreeing with this. Having that said, I’m probably the only one who sees the problems in Homestuck. WHOOPS TIME TO DODGE...

  19. xanthera said: This is why I rarely watch things that I like with other people. It always seems to be “either love it or hate it”, no grey area. Except 90s TV, because it’s fun to enjoy it and still make fun of it being from the 90s. *coughBuffyseasononecough*
