What's a conventionally popular thing that is also popular on Hexbear that you personally dislike, or even hate? (hexbear.net)

I'll mention something different for my own contribution than my usual:

I've always hated Seinfeld, including when his show was brand new. "It's a show about nothing!" was a thought terminating cliche in the 90s that was used to pitch the show at me again and again by its fans, and also to dismiss any and all problems I had with the show and its ultra-privileged smarmy main character. If I got anything valuable out of that show and for that matter his stand up routine, it was a lifelong allergy to New Yorker comedy that front loads a whole lot of "I am a New Yorker which means I am smarter and tougher and wiser and more cultured and more sophisticated yet more grounded than you" self-aggrandizement into the set. :nyet:

EDIT: Please post your own disliked Hexbear-approved popular things! Don’t just reply to mine! :rage-cry:

I've heard plenty of prequel haters say the story is boring because trade disputes leading into fascism is boring.

That's the banality of evil, yo. It is the inSIDIOUS way that fascists get into power. :unlimited-power:
