unpopular opinion: I don't like unpopular opinion threads, blogs, etc. since a majority of opinions shared aren't exactly "unpopular" and is really just people sharing opinions they only think is unpopular when in reality a ton of people probably agree with them. It's a stupid opinion and for whatever reason its a small pet peeve of mine.

@SU is Awesome 104, one reason people tend to dislike popular stuff like SU, UT, MLP, etc is because of overexposure to them mainly through fans. You see believe it or not but hearing constant praise about a show without outlining flaws is very annoying as it doesn't really frame the whole picture of what makes that thing good or bad. Fans will often "overhype" or praise things a lot that to the non-fan can be seen as annoying and seeing a lot on the Internet can be even more annoying.

People who dislike stuff blindly be it for something being popular have no reason to dislike it and should really be just neutral about it until they've actually attempted to try and enjoy or sit through the medium they "dislike". If you dislike something at least realize or attempt to understand why they like it in the first place and if that doesn't appeal to you then that's fine.

People who blindly praise should take a step back and not try to always expose or impose others into their fandom or medium. You can recommend it to someone but you better be prepared to be able to explain flaws and what you dislike about what you like. Realize that nothing is perfection and every form of entertaining medium has its strengths and weaknesses. If you like something you have to understand that not everyone will share the same opinion and that there are people out there who dislike what you like for various reasons both petty and good.
