YES, that thing where people are so all-or-nothing about canons they didn't like is so frustrating. :P I get that I tend to be all-or-nothing the other way and I know some people find that equally frustrating (it's not that I don't know there are problems, I just don't want to think about them while I'm in Full Squee Mode) but it's so hard to deal with when people take an emotional reaction, or a reaction to certain specific elements of a canon, and apply it as a blanket judgment of This Canon Objectively Sucks. (Oh hey, I just remembered that you enjoyed the Star Wars prequel movies as well, didn't you? That must have been .... fun. :P) And of course people are 100% entitled to dislike the things they didn't like -- I have some things I hate for completely arbitrary reasons, or very valid reasons, and everywhere in between! But there are still people who really like those things because of other things than whatever made me nope out them. And sometimes even for the same thing -- there's one recent canon of mine with a ship that ended up going a direction I absolutely loathed, but there's someone I follow on Tumblr who seems to have completely fallen in love with exactly the aspects I didn't like about that ship, based on their reblog frequency. On the one hand, AAAAAARGH. XD But they're completely entitled to like it, just as much as I didn't ...
