[QUOTE="Ace, post: 8239891, member: 944"] Minstrel Show. Ouch. I can't bring myself to hate any media. That would require me to be involved with it. I am therefore indifferent to media I don't like. I guess that qualifies as cold. Harry Potter is a good example, saw the first movie and was just "eh." after that. I can't blame other people for enjoying it though. Its good just not for me. I actually liked Twilight more but that's not a high bar. Same with most of the teen dystopia other than Maze Runner which was decent. I will say though BBT . Well I do get while some normies like it. For some I've seen its helps them understand super smart people on some safe level. I'm not a fan. From my few viewings is filled with fairly offensive nerd stereotypes and it feels like that is the last group its OK to treat like that on TV . And yes there are people that do act like that . So what? There are people who act like other unpleasant stereotypes as well. Its ugly and in a way since most of the characters are far from neurotypical , it feels like disability bashing as well. Just because they are smart and its funny is not OK. Mayim Bialik get a pass, she's the least nerdy anyway and actually that smart. Is it acting? No one knows ;) [/QUOTE]
