but that a stupid person liking something isn’t a reason to reject the thing

Historically I've found that to be a very good indicator that I'm not going to like something. I've learned to trust my gut and I've seen enough clips of it since then to know my gut was right.

Correlation vs causation.

Yes, big bang is dumb, but just to pull a famous example Paul Ryan likes Rage against the Machine, sometimes people can feel a beat even if they can't hear the lyrics.

Call it whatever you want I'm not changing my opinion. There's plenty of shit that people I actually respect like and have recommended to me for me to watch. I don't need to waste my time on slop that was created for morons.

I get you, but as someone who just started with the litrpg genre because i avoided it due to the people who liked it, I'm just saying that sometimes you may be missing something you love because most of the people who like it are dumb and most of the genre is garbage.

yeah, theres lots of litrpg trash, but most is certainly an overstatement. Also lots and lots of great novels. Not being bound by a publisher can be a blessing and a curse at the same time.

I'm not sure why they were so weirdly hostile and yet kept engaging when they clearly didn't want to have a conversation about it.

In any case, I agree. Idiots are all over the place and like a lot of different things. Unless you only want to consume works that use obtuse language to scare away dumbos, you'll have to reconcile with that fact. That is, of course, assuming the person doesn't find certain forms of idiocy agreeable.
