Entertainment
Something I said in the Super Bowl thread got me thinking. I'll quote it now, just so you guys know where I'm coming from in case you didn't read it.

Why do we as humans feel the need to criticize and dishonor other forms of entertainment? It's like we put down how other people have fun to validate that the way we play is better than anyone else, making us superior as human beings. I'm of the standpoint that everyone is different. The whole saying "Different strokes for different folks" definately applies to what I'm saying. If someone else has fun in a way that I don't, and it's not a destructive form of entertainment (ex: lynching people, setting things on fire, etc.), then go ahead and enjoy yourselves. I have pretty broad interests in entertainment myself. I like to play video games, I like to listen to music, I like movies, I like theater, I like sports. *shrugs* There's things in each of those worthwhile to pursue, I think. |
RE: Entertainment
We criticize forms of entertainment becuase some of us humans dont enjoy certain "types" of entertainment.
Football may just be the most loved, or most hated sport and thats why rairai said that. He simply doesnt like football so he criticizes. its just natural instinct i guess. |
RE: Entertainment
It's natural to just not be that entertained by it, but to go off and bitch about it with wholly unsupported claims is by no means natural.

In this case, I believe it's a sense of elitism. A person sees many people getting worked up over something he sees as pointless or useless, so he feels the need to prove to them how much they're wasting their time in his point of view. ps RIP Seahawks =( |
RE: Entertainment
People get a kick out of making fun of anything, not just entertainment, that they hate(studies have been done). It's human nature, though; everyone does it, whether or not you realize it(not that it makes it right, of course, but the first step to anything is to admit it). Some people are probably more inclined to bash anything they don't like, though.
