Prestige TV

AnonusAnonus
in General
I feel like popular culture has been inundated with it, and it has replaced reality garbage as any struggling cable network's easiest way to fight for relevance.

And I feel bad about being disengaged with it. Even Marvel is on this train!

    TV that you can only watch when you meet certain requirements. For example, to watch Stardust Crusaders, you need to take 10 levels in the Joestar class, and have 8 points in Knowledge (JoJo).

    I've had problems with being either or both of these things at various points, but I've slowly come to realize that ignorance is an option. You two need to learn that at some point yourselves.

    I was being sarcastic.

    I think to a degree, taking the attitude that not liking something is probably your problem is healthy. Sometimes you have to be willing to admit that you're not getting something in order to really be open and try to appreciate it.

    i lol'd

    And I know this was a joke but to some extent it actually makes sense, such as in how Excel Saga doesn't make much sense until you're familiar with anime tropes.

    I apologize for reading your post too seriously there.

    FWIW, I do agree with what you just said.

    anyway, Anonus, don't feel bad for not enjoying something, it's your taste and you shouldn't let it be dictated by the opinions of others

    I like some shows in the genre but as a whole I find that I get a lot more joy out of watching Cartoon Network and the niche of TV-PG shows it's been gathering since Adventure Time, which is fine because that's just my preference

    “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Why does anyone here do that?

    Jargon is useless unless everyone agrees on a definition and it comes into use organically. There are definitely examples within this community, but sometimes people insist on using their personal terminology or secondhand professional argot like we're supposed to know what the hell they're talking about. Smart people being stupid, m'aidez!
