We need different viewpoints... Youre missing the point. No one is advocating clinical correctness at all whatsoever. No one is saying that you cannot shit on a film. In fact go ahead and do it and get it out of your system. What we are asking is that once you've expressed yourself numerous times there's no need to continuously do it over and over again. 3 Link to comment

Those are the films that I know are a big source of negativity on both ends (those who troll and those who are over protective of their film even recieving a minor criticism). Imagine sports teams. Now imagine if the winner was decided by popular opinion and circular fanboy arguments. Link to comment

Plain Old Tele Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 13 minutes ago, GiantCALBears said: Curious why trolling can't apply to someone who overly praises something especially if it's consensus not good but I largely get and agree with that. Everyone would prefer an upbeat atmosphere. Obviously we're going to have people whose opinion goes against consensus (whether positively or negatively). I didn't stress the positive fanboyism because it didn't seem like as big a problem. But really, the issue is whether you're trying to overwhelm everyone else with your view. If a film is generally hated and you love it, that's cool -- and it's certainly cool to explain why you liked it or to engage with others in a discussion to explain why. But if you literally reply to every single negative post with a "That's wrong, you misunderstood, it's genius!", that's what we're cracking down on. For the most part, I think it tends to be the other way around but no question sometimes the reverse is true. 3 Link to comment

AniNate Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 All the talk is about superhero threads but honestly every blockbuster has this issue. I'm mostly engaged by animated films but I have to deal with the "Pixar has lost it" shit every time I dare to bump a thread for their food. Everyone's so quick to dismiss them now, the exception ironically being the Cars 3 thread 3 Link to comment

For some reason Dallas is universally loved/liked (I mean there are those that hate them, like division rivals). Link to comment
