Anogete's Journal

I've never quite been able to figure that out myself. I see a lot of people have used AB as an example, and I guess that's a good one; I stopped reading at OB because Ni-chan told me what the later books turned into and I wanted to leave with a good impression. Some series you finish just because you've put so much time into them, like Wheel of Time. I don't think I've ever set out to deliberately bash something, though. On occasion I've watched something just because I knew how horribly awful it was, like Vampires vs. Zombies, just for the campiness, but it wasn't mean spirited (although I did want to throw my shoe at the tv after).

I don't have a good explanation for you; I don't really understand it myself. Maybe it's just an outlet for all of the negative feelings they've repressed that they can't express in a rational manner. No idea.
