>>117248513Honestly? I don't. I more note down mentally how well characters, plot and setting work together in a show, along with other aspects like music. This provides a general judgement of the show for me, and generally determines how I feel about it if asked.
Then, when someone creates a thread saying "hey X show wasn't so bad, why were people disappointed with it", I personally put forward my reasons if I have a given inclination, and enough time and care, to do so. They may not be accurate for everyone, but they'll at least be logical and understandable. This would naturally form a basis for polite discussion, were this any other form of communication other than an anonymous korean sculpting forum. Instead, what you get is arguments, ad hominem, some slurs, and frankly a lot of hate towards people who don't deserve it.
There's also the fact that although everyone likes to style themself as a psychopath, deep down there a buttons that can be pressed that can cause us to like a character; all fiction has some inspiration from reality, and any good storyteller will find a way for the viewer to add their own real life applicability to a situation. When said characters get shit on by their circumstances/creators/poor writing, the viewers naturally feel some empathy; after all, if you write a "sympathetic character", and your audience cheers when they die, you're not a very good storyteller, are you
