you ever see someone criticize a thing you also dislike, but in such a way that is so off-base and wrong that you feel the need to almost defend the thing? like yeah star wars outlaws is probably mid but it's not because the lead doesn't make your peepee hard

I dont like the 2016 Ghostbusters because its a remake people dislike it for much worse reasons.

i really have to wonder what would happen if metroid came into existence in 2024

Same, I even feel inclined to change my mind about said thing instead of risking being assumed affiliated with Those Guys (really, fuck Those Guys)

There was an essay I read a few months back that started with "Lately I frequently find myself in the position where I am defending people I think are annoying from people I know are dangerous" and I feel like that's the same energy, so yeah.

god, every fuckin' day

Like, Forsaken comes to mind. The protagonist or her dialogue wasn’t the most terrible thing about the game. (My biggest grievance was its ridiculous specs, and how they broke the game most of the time.)

😂

that tends to be the argument for everything they dislike. Ive seen people try so desperately to hate the Fallout TV show with some huge garbage takes just because the main character didnt have honking boobs(and because it featured a woman and black man as the main characters :|)

The Halo TV show. Total mess of a story, not great CGI, gratuitous nudity. What was reddit mad about? Asian person in their laser gun show.

Absolutely insufferable when a piece of media you dislike also tends to have a diverse cast because it attracts the most deranged haters around. Like no, the live action little mermaid movie isn’t bad because Ariel is black.
