I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
Okay, you got me:
This is yet another thing spawned from my insecurities about 101 Dalmatians: The Series. People keep telling me not to feel ashamed over it, but I keep worrying that watching it means I have regressed somehow. I don't even have nostalgia as an excuse; I remember next to nothing about it from my childhood!
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
Anonus, you're absolutely right. You of all people - an aspiring Media MogulTM - should know better than to become strangely obsessed with a third-rate cartoon Disney shat out of its Self-Exploitation Department.
I hereby order you to become obsessed with something actually good.
taste is subjective and no one taste is superior to any other
but i do feel that some things are superior to other things in particular respects, and i do sometimes worry that i'm rather undiscerning, since most heapers seem to have stronger opinions about music and works of fiction than i do
in particular, i feel like i express negative opinions too infrequently, which might be indicative of some kind of weakness of character

In all honesty, I find your interest in that show a little odd. But whatever floats your boat, I'm not the final arbiter of what people should be into.

Just say it's a "guilty pleasure". That's what everyone else does.
I've thought that people are sometimes overly negative in order to try to build up their own self-image. "See, I know all this stuff is terrible, because I'm above it all! Look how great I am!"
mmm... i don't know, i definitely feel like i tend to overlook weaknesses in entertainment media i like, since i tend not to notice them until other people point them out to me
i also tend to fixate on particular things at length... maybe not to the extent that some people do (or am i just more ashamed of drawing attention to myself by posting about them?) and only becoming aware of their flaws once the shine has started to wear off

"Guilty pleasure" is a convenient shorthand for "I recognize that this work has flaws, and may even be something that most of my peers hate, but I enjoy it anyway".
Calling something good often carries an implied condemnation of anyone who dislikes it. Calling something a guilty pleasure doesn't carry that same baggage.
Yeah. I've reached a point where, in most media, I just don't care what anyone else thinks of my taste. If they're gonna think less of me for liking X, that's their problem, not mine.

I really do not wish to engage in any behavior that perpetuates the mindset that there are Good Things and Bad Things and that there is no middle ground in between, and that both of these categories are set in stone.

Though there are some exceptions, I guess.
No one really cares how abnormal your tastes in porn are

What do you consider good?
it's nothing special, but it can be entertaining

Largely it is a social construct that people use to help them deal with insecurity about what they like, which is not healthy.

also i'm sorry but
i'm not so bad as i used to be, but it's still bizarre to me when people online say i'm levelheaded

D:
i was not aware of this
i don't think 'guilty pleasure' is such a terrible phrase, although i seldom use it because i try not to feel guilty about things i enjoy
Though there are some exceptions, I guess.
i feel like that's a trivially true statement and people will roll their eyes at it but yeah
but the universe doesn't need it, or the artist
but i mean, the artist doesn't have to exist either, in the grand scheme of things
that's just a thing that happened
