The fact that Dungeon Crawler Carl has taken the world by storm is mind boggling to me. But I guess lots and lots of people liked Twilight and 50 Shades, too.

Oh no you didn't.

And still others like to make snide comments about the things people enjoy!

Sometime junk food just hits you right.

That sounds like the sort of thing a boardgamer might say!

It would be interesting to see under what rationale people call it "junk".

You know "things I don't like and/or understand."

I have no idea. I'm only familiar with it by description. I was just noting that things other people--or even the person at hand--consider the equivelent of "junk food" can still be something they quite enjoy. I've had both movies and TV shows that I recognize are objectively kind of junk, but still just landed right with me.
