I have to admit I don't get the hate

There are some things that are fashionable to hate in certain parts of the webs. People look down at you if you don't despise them properly and spend unduly amount of time on making others hate them too. Today I will talk about few such things.

Comic Sans - it's been called the font of the feeble minded and ugliest type ever invented. There are

Comic Sans - It is. But when you want to convey childishness it's perfect. Of course using it in professional settings looks bad but then I thought that there are fonts that are required on students presentations. I know that they do required certain font and spacing when I write for publication.

Twilight - I can't even look at it. I think it's like the Emmerich movies for me. A lot of people enjoy them for disaster porn. I can't even do that because the utter stupidity just kicks me out of the action. Somehow the dip out of the cool awesome and don't rise up into the so bad it's funny and I just get annoyed when trying to watch them.

TBBT - I know I should be angry. I know what I should be angry at. But I'm not. This is the opposite of previous paragraph - I can ignore the bad and enjoy the rest in this case. Maybe it also helps that I really only started watching after Bernadette and Amy came onto the show so it was easier with more regular female characters.

Mortal Instruments - I was thinking about seeing that but I've been going to cinema very often lately (once a week almost is very often too me) and I really wanted to see The World's End so skipped it. It looks like fun and it has Lena Headey and Robert Sheehan so I was hoping it'd do good just so they could make ungodly amount of money just like Pattison did.

For me Harry Potter always felt like a rip-off of Lindgren's Mio, My Mio (my favourite book when I was a kid) and I look at the whole discussion like this with certain detachment ever since the whole thing when Wheel of Time people were accusing Terry Goodking of plagiarising Ajah for his Sister of Light in Sword of Truth. It was very amusing since you could make exactly the same argument for Robert Jordan ripping-off Bene Gesserit form Dune (and more with Aiel - Fremen and Rand - Paul similarities). The things fandom thinks original never cease to amuse me. Or maybe I'm too old and have read too much.
