Exactly this. Sometimes, for whatever reason, you don't like a show or movie. That's completely okay. But when your lack of enjoyment turns into, "I don't want ANYONE to enjoy it", that's a problem.
Honestly, the best way to stop things like that from being made is to not talk about it... at all.

Some people really seem to have a hard time saying "this show or movie isn't for me" and then move on with their lives.
But then there's no clout chasing to be had or likes to get from rambling rants about how much you hate that thing.

FINALLY submitted my last final last night.
I wasn’t happy with the tone of the essay, so as I was stuck in traffic on the way home, I decided to rewrite it yesterday.
Got halfway through the rewrite and my computer’s battery died 🤦🏼♀️ Rookie move.
Even rookier move? Not saving what I had done.

Finished my 3rd (out of 4) final projects for the semester.
Now, I focus on the one I am equally excited and nervous about.
I have to do a “TED talk” recording or blog post.
My topic is going to focus on social media and online hate toward athletes. It builds the foundation for my dissertation!

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I wish Premier League clubs would always be the away teams when they play the lower league teams in the cup matches.
I feel like it could really help boost the smaller clubs' financials and communities' economies.

Only Mo Salah…

With his assist for Hugo Ekitike, Mohamed Salah now has the most goal involvements for a single club in Premier League history (277).

Why on earth did Bowen not drag Paquetá away from the ref??
The ref gave him so long to stop, and Ali even intervened. But I don’t know why West Ham didn’t stop him.
That was so preventable. 🤦🏼♀️

Lots of upsets today. Ireland scoring at the last minute to knock Hungary out of World Cup playoffs was followed very shortly by NY Gotham knocking Orlando Pride out of the NWSL Championship.
Incredible endings to these matches!

Washington Spirit has hosted more playoff matches at Audi Field this year (two) than D.C. United has since the stadium opened in 2018 (one).

This Spirit/Thorns match is INTENSE! Washington is battering the Thorns GK. I'm honestly surprised they haven't had another one go in and stand!
What a match!

At some point, there needs to be a serious discussion about what happens when Michael Oliver has anything to do with a Liverpool match.
PGMOL can’t keep letting nonsense calls happen without investigating more and removing him from officiating any Liverpool matches.

All clubs should be doing this. Football should be a place for everyone.
This topic is a large part of my dissertation; how are clubs addressing hate directed at the club, at players, or at fans.
Digital hate and cyberbullying are new types of hooliganism, so happy to see that being addressed.

The prospect of a three-year ban is a strong deterrent from Man Utd for fans using discriminatory language, including on social media.
Importantly, there’s also an appeals process, and the club’s #LGBTQ supporters group calls for education.

Finally getting around to decorating my dining room! Some custom art prints I made combined with some fun pieces and the classic Anfield sign.
It’s all coming together! Just a few more pieces (mostly Liverpool, but had to compromise with my roommate a bit).

Football conspiracy theories are so unhinged and ridiculous.
Is there ref bias in the league? Absolutely.
Is any single team is gifted time so they’ll win? No.
The mentality of fans thinking their team has it worst kills me.
Stop blaming other teams and direct your ire where it belongs: PGMOL.
