1 - I hate it when people express a dislike for something that they haven’t actually tried/experienced before
For instance, I eat sardines for lunch on occasion. With some smoked cheese. Some crackers. I eat anchovies on ‘za once in a blue moon.
Sardines are extremely good for you, and very mild - just like tuna or whatever. And anchovies are umami salt bombs, like pepperoni and sausage is. Yet 95% of people who rail on these tiny fish haven’t actually tried them before. But they like sausage and pepperoni. It’s the same thing. They’re umami meat salt bombs.
I’ll apply the same to media -
I recently binge watched the anime Attack on Titan and the reason I binged it is because I couldn’t freaking stop. It’s a show that is as good as Breaking Bad, and Game of Thrones, and Chernobyl, and Band of Brothers (I’ve seen all of them)
But some people won’t watch it because it is an animated program from Japan. Yet in reality, animation is the best way to portray the story. It’d be ungodly expensive to CGI an AOT series, and the animation is killer. It’s as good as any show ever made and had me captivated the entire time.
I have more where that came from but I am going to eat beans and potatoes and walk the dog. As one does.
