That reminds me of the time I stopped watching always sunny in Philadelphia because they made fun of a guy with rickets. let's keep it above the belt comedy shows. No cheap shots.
Always Sunny is almost nothing but cheap shots, and it consistently makes me laugh and then feel bad about said laughing.
I was being facetious. Well technically it wouldn't ... Doesn't matter.
What you are saying was exactly my point. It's a show about bad people doing bad things. It's a bit silly to be like "they did a bad thing so I stopped watching" because.... Well... That's the show, that's the point of the show.
Compare that to me saying "I couldn't get into walking dead because the wife immediately starts sleeping with the best friend after she hears (but doesn't confirm) the husband is dead". That might be a personal issue, people could argue I should try to move past that and enjoy the show ... However it's not me missing the point of the entire show. It's just a personal gripe. That was my point. If I complained "they focus too much on complicated interpersonal dynamics in emergency situations" that would be missing the point of the show. It would still be fine not to like it but changing it would remove the whole point of the show. That's my gripe with the comment.
Complaining about a detail of the show is fine. Complaining about the entirety of a show is also fine. Complaining about the entire plot of the show like it's a minor detail is just saying you didn't understand the show.
