It's fine when someone says "I like this new stuff, but I don't like that old stuff.", in the same way it's supposed to be fine to say " I like that old stuff, but don't like this new stuff.". Apparently it isn't and the Enworld forums is a perfect example of anyone who doesn't like the latest and greatest needs to get put down by the masses.That might be due to insecurities or cultural differences? Because when you say "I do not like xyz that you do like." is apparently taken as a personal affront by some. On the other hand I'm Dutch and we're a pretty straightforward culture, we don't like something, you will hear it to your face. That is not meant to be hostile, but is straightforward. I've some Americans say that the Dutch are straightforward on a good day and rude on a bad day. It seems to depend on how much they didn't want to hear that particular statement... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Maybe it also has something to do with mellowing with age, but again the Internet has shown that also not be the case for many...As for outside of RPGs, I think most old school Star Wars fans can say they don't like the last three movies (7/8/9) and many fans of the original movies (4/5/6) disliked the prequels (1/2/3). But many younger fans do like the last three movies (or so I'm told by parents of some Star Wars fans). You don't scream in a kids face "Your movies suck and so do you!", at least I hope people don't, but you never know... We might say that we thought the were movies bad and joke that there are only six SW movies, and I expect the folks from the other side of the fence to do the same thing.</blockquote>
