  "The Star Wars prequels broke my heart"-fine, this is a statement of fact, and can lead to a conversation

  
  

  "The Star Wars prequels broke our heart"-No, fuck you, you don't get to shanghai me into your aesthetics

  ^{i will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch}
  

  i might be annoyed by this, depending on the context
  
  usually i'd just write it off as an opinion i don't share, but it does irritate me a bit when i think someone is presuming to know what i like/don't like

  I find that extremely irritating, for some reason.

  i got annoyed when the extra credits guys explained why the blue shell makes a better game experience "for everybody" and proceeded to give a set of entirely reasonable arguments that weren't applicable to me *at all*

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  "We" is appropriate when you're describing a device and not an opinion, but opinions should be an "I"-only thing. Like so: "You really think we're supposed to buy that, movie? I sure as hell didn't."
