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.

tv, crazy ideas, shamelessly into teen wolf, random, dylan obrien makes me feel like a cougar
