I recently posted a thread saying The Wire hbo tv series was not to my tastes and that while I recognize it’s artistic merit towards the television medium, i found it boring and slow and preferred shows like The Sopranos and Breaking Bad.
Got a bunch of comments along the lines of “lol u just can’t handle how cerebral it is, why don’t you go watch law and order or something more your speed.”
Being elitist about pop media like TV shows is bewildering to me, but reddit has managed to do i
Probably, but it’s profoundly worse on reddit. Hexbear tolerates dissenting opinions to a degree unless its some fash bullshit
Reddit media forums are circlejerks and it’s incredibly irritating.
Honestly I would tell people like this to read a book for great storytelling, not watch television, but in my mind I would be being as petty and elitist as they are.
Lol if anyone is acting like Sopranos is some “hidden gem” they weren’t paying attention when it first came out. My boomer stepdad knows who Tony is and was excited for The Many Saints of Newark. You’re right though, any obsession with capitalist treats is just annoying as hell. No matter who it’s coming from.
