I don't get why everybody has this strange delusion that people like, make some tremendous effort to muster up as much criticism as they can and claim it is fact. Nobody does this.
It takes almost no effort to click on a thread, look at the contents of that thread, form an initial opinion, and then articulate that opinion and post a comment. News announcement threads are not an echo chamber full of only positivity, and they never should be.
What the fuck is the point of an advertisement or announcement of a series if nobody is allowed to form an opinion on it because "they didn't see it yet". Well no shit sherlock, neither did you. So retorting people "criticizing" the show, by your own logic, makes you exactly as much of an idiot for judging it positively before watching. Companies wouldn't release trailers or information on what they are working on if they didn't want people to form opinions about it before it is released. It's called fucking marketing. If a teaser, carefully and meticulously constructed by the same fucking people who made the show, with the sole purpose of interesting their target audience and creating as much attention and hype as possible, looks like something that I would not enjoy, or has certain elements to it that I find distasteful, overused, banal, and ultimately boring, that is a really clear fucking indication that I will not enjoy the show as a whole.
I click on a link, takes maybe about a 12th of a second. The page loads. I observe the content of the material being presented. I either initially like it or don't like it. I then use about half an ounce of my brain power to put into words exactly what I liked or disliked about what I saw, and then another 5-20 seconds typing it. Then I click another button to post it. HOLY SHIT SO MUCH EFFORT. I'M A HUGE HATER!
People will post comments like "Aww yes my dick will like this show, can't wait to watch!!!!" or "Lolis. Instant 10//10" and nobody gives a fuck. But as soon as you get a "this looks like ecchi garbage, I'm gonna pass" or "this looks really cliche and uninteresting" everybody starts chiming in with "WOW why are you even here then?", "Why bother even saying anything if you're not interested?", "Such a troll", "Haters are just gonna hate", "uhhh you haven't seen it your opinion isn't fact" and other bullshit.
I really don't see how people don't realize the utter irony of posting a positive comment about something they haven't seen yet, and then berating somebody for posting a negative comment because they haven't seen it yet.
I'm gonna keep looking at new announcements for new series. I'm going to keep leaving positive remarks on what I think looks like it has potential. I'm going to keep leaving negative remarks on what I think looks like utter garbage. Your cognitively dissonant bitching isn't going to do a damn thing.
Deal with it.
I think you are sort of missing the point here.
