And this annoys me even more. If the rule was we had to praise and love something to be able to participate in discussion, and could NEVER critique? Discussions would never last long. Doesn't matter how much you like a movie or TV show, there are always going to be things that could've been better. We've supported Orphan Black for 5 years. If we hadn't as I said above this board would've closed a long time ago. You may not like the idea of the board closing which is your right, and are completely entitled to express sadness as many of us have, but you don't have the right to attack or accuse us of playing pretend. For one it's extremely patronizing and completely untrue.
preach it.

If you think what we've been doing on this board is self hatred, clearly you never ventured into the Gossip Girl spoiler & speculation threads which was one heck of a trip and any Pretty Little Liars thread ever, because we knew the show was trash but couldn't quit.
the thing is, if we didn't care at all, we'd have stopped watching and wouldn't even bother to come post about it. so even if we were unhappy with stuff that happened, we still came here to talk about it. dislike is better than disinterest, and also, it's not like everyone hated everything. we all had lots of different opinions on different things throughout the years. but people are allowed to express their opinions about fictional characters and fictional storylines, even if not everyone agrees with an opinion. it's a tv discussion forum! that's the whole point of it! and ob was far from being the most negative -- ob didn't even have anti-threads, which some boards do -- the skins board was hugely tragic in its last few years.
