Oh for sure, hopefully my initial post didn't come across too judgmental! If other people enjoy that kind of thing, I don't intend to disparage anyone for it, it just isn't my thing. I certainly think that fans all having such different interests and priorities in what they want from stories is ultimately to the benefit of everyone, since it allows so many different types of conversations and gives us all new and valuable perspectives.
