I'm thoroughly convinced that the vast majority of social media commentators go into every TV show, movie, game, book, song, etc. with the explicit goal of coming out angry. Which is understandable seeing as it's such an easy source of income. What baffles me is why there is such an audience for it. I can't wrap my head around why people spend so much time on entertainment that they don't like.
Because they find analysis of what precisely makes good writing good and bad writing bad interesting?
I'm sure there's a few people who do come at it from that angle. But given the typical responses you see (the writers are lazy, they just plain suck, they only care about getting paid, etc.) it's hard to buy that there's any real interest in deep or nuanced analysis.
