Every post about Iron heart on Facebook, people are bitching and moaning that Marvel had the nerve to make a show they don’t personally approve of.
What is this entitlement people have about movies and TV where it’s not enough for them to just not watch the thing they’re not interested in, they have to make sure to loudly proclaim their disapproval of it. I have no interest in The Bear. Know what I do? I just don’t watch it and it has virtually no impact on my life.
Some people refuse to just not watch what they aren’t interested in, they demand that everyone know how displeased they are with something that hasn’t even been released yet. And they insist that EVERYONE, or at least everyone who matters, feels the exact same way they do. I don’t know if they’re so self-centered they legitimately don’t understand that other people have different tastes or if this is just a big cope because they can’t handle that people are watching and enjoying things they aren’t. It’s not enough to just not watch it, they have to try and convince themselves and others that nobody will like the thing they don’t approve of. If they really believed nobody was going to watch it, then why does its existence bother them so much? If what they’re saying is true, then nobody will watch and the show won’t have any impact. They’re throwing a tantrum because they can’t handle the possibility that the show will have an impact on other people.
Such passionate hatred for something that isn’t even out yet. They don’t know if it’s any good or not and already they can’t handle the idea that anybody will watch it. And they wonder why people think their hatred might be racially motivated.
People get off on being correct
People get off on being angry
Put those together and you get people angrily and loudly bitching about things. Add in that it’s on the internet, where the stakes are little-none and it’s just how people are wired to act.
Do you remember the heyday of things like Angry Videogame Nerd? Himself and a million actalikes being angry at nothing and people loved it.
