See now, I'm guilty of doing this in the past, and I'm trying to move away from it, but its strange how I constantly see people talk about Teen Wolf who start by saying 'Its such a terrible show, its the worst - but I cant stop watching it/writing fic about it!'. And I realise that in a way it might be one of those fandom-language things, but in my head its starting to feel a lot like....show shaming? The way people feel the need to pre-emptively say that a show/band/pairing is bad/terrible before they can talk about it so that they don't feel embarassed for watching a certain type of show? Its like, I'm going to hate on the show first so that when other people do it - it doesnt matter/make me look/feel bad....
I dont know. Random observation. Also badly formulated.
The point of this post is: I found
someone's thoughts on S1 of Teen Wolf and she manages to say in actual words what is so great about the show. Its not perfect, but its a lot better than people give it credit for, and I really wish it would get more actual love rather than just people being embarassed and putting it down love.
