Why do people think it’s so edgy to not like stuff. You don’t like it, dope? I guess. I don’t like brussel sprouts do we want to hammer on about how fuckin cool and unique that makes me?
Yeah I don’t like people that brag about not liking mainstream shit, it’s hack.
Though I do find it funny you said that with a straight face. I’m not entitled to my dislikes but they are, dope. Real coherent consistent objection there bud.
You are entitled to your dislikes. It’s just that your comment comes off a little bit aggressive. I don’t see anyone here bragging or feeling smug about their preferences. Just a normal discussion.
The meme pictures a fictional genocidal magical dictator who tried to murder basically anyone who wasn’t his literal slave. The captioned comments imply derision to both fans of friends and the cast and crew in both a braggadocios and disdainful way.
What part of my comment is more “aggressive” or “abnormal” then that?

All the people that don’t know the original reference don’t have that background info. We just see a guy who doesn’t seem amused. I had no idea who the guy was (I still don’t know, I just know what you wrote), so count me in that population.
We’re in a memes community, not a specific fandom with shared esoteric knowledge. I could be wrong, but I imagine a lot of the people who upvoted/shared this meme probably thought “stone-faced guy didn’t laugh.” Which was all they needed to know in order to enjoy it.
Not looking to argue, just providing context for how others are looking at this meme. It doesn’t seem “aggressive” to those who don’t know where the image is from.
So how does my disagreement make me “aggressive” or “abnormal”, that’s the question.
To be clear my original comment was in response to:

Brussels sprout hate is a funny take for us olds because they used to be bitter when I was a kid. Got sweeter and sweeter and we bred them along. They’re a totally new vegetable now! (I got the joke BTW.)

Bro, chill out, people are just discussing what they like and don’t like. It’s like a point of social media.
