If you didn't enjoy this strawman, you just didn't consume enough of them.
Luckily, there's plenty more on thebad.website.

If you weren't so stupid you would have loved it

I started reading the book "Gone Girl" and noped out after the first chapter because I couldn't stand the yuppie narrator. Then I saw the film and loved it. Next I read some more books by the same writer and came to realize that she's a great writer who can create really horrible characters.
Writer was so good she made me not read her book.
Ironically, Parks and Recreation is my biggest, "I watched all of this and enjoyed very little of it" show.
Well, every person is entitled to their opinion, even if they are wrong like you.
There's eight Harry Potter films!? Aren't there only like 4 or 5 books? Did they pull a The Hobbit?
7 main books. They only split the last one
Osrs players after 10k hours: this game sucks
Don't pigeonhole me like that! I realized after 100 hours!
... I realized it after 1k hours, also, but I realized it at 100 hours...
They have the most experience and can make a good review of how much the game sucks.
We absolutely do.... Can't wait to get back though, been dry for over a month
One of the hardest thing for me when recommending media to friends and acquaintances is to not oversell it and only do it when asked. Because I know very well what being on the receiving end feels like, and I know they mean well, but also, I like to watch (read, play) stuff at my own pace
Seriously, if people have that much investment in my enjoyment of anything, that will ruin any chance I might have otherwise had of enjoying it.
I had an experience like that with the anime Berserk. Had my coworker not been so desperate for me to like it, I probably would have.
this is what it feels like for me interacting with naruto fans
Also, One Piece fans. As much as I love one piece, it's not for everyone. Idk why that's so hard to grasp for some of the fans. They just say it gets better. People might not like it for various reasons, From poor animation (In the beginning) to bad pacing. Also, the lengthy fights and the artstyle could be a turnoff.
I like to say, if you don't like the East Blue Saga, its probably not for you, but you kind of need to power through some of the earlier arcs as the author establishes the world and tone. If you don't like it because Syrup Village is kind of a mess, you could easily miss out on a great series.
one piece wins you over in phases. it starts out kinda operating in the "i wouldn't have sought this out initially, but it's fine enough to keep reading" until you get to a point where it's fully won you over and you have to know what happens next because it's your favorite thing
If watching 100hrs implies you enjoy it, then of course if you watch enough of it you will eventually enjoy it. You're just not big brained enough to understand media literacy.
I played both Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful, from start to finish, didn't like them at all. Though i kinda see the appeal, they're just not for me.
