No, but if you go to something to make fun of it or complain about it, I don't see the value. No one is claiming you have to accept it, but what purpose does it serve to constantly criticize something? How about you simply ignore it?

The value is taking a few jabs at its expense and laughing at how bad it is
They could ignore it but then people should practice what they preach and ignore those critics

It might be good for a momentary one time lark, but there's little if any value in constantly doing it.

It's not about practicing what they preach, if all you do is criticize then you should be called out on it. You aren't pointing something out as constructive criticism, you would be looking for attention by interjecting yourself in other people's conversations and just being negative for its own sake. It's perfectly legit to tell them not to watch. If you are so bothered by something that all you do is criticize something then you aren't doing anyone any favors.

Some of these people cannot,i repeat, CANNOT take ANY criticism of anything they like.

I can replace criticize with fanboy in that big paragraph to get almost the same results. Fanboying is not better than criticizing

Depends what you mean by fanboying.

"Toriyama said "xxxxx" in an interview" when said interview doesn't exist.

Or worse: "Toriyama said X in an interview" and the "human being" trolls everywhere saying that Toriyama said "Y".

The constant TFS quoting is getting kind of annoying to be honest. Everyone thinks they're original and funny and somehow those people get like 100's of likes.

Thought I was the only one who felt this way, tbh: I hate when people say TFS is better than the actual dubs- it really irks me.

I daresay it's better than some; there are some pretty shitty dubs out there.

Well, aside from AB Groupe's/"Big Green" Movie dubs, the entirety of the Malaysian/Speedy Co. dub, and such if that makes sense: I wasn't counting those.

not the way I typed it but they do say those kind of things. they think GT is Satan because of X Y and Z but BoG is God (no pun intended) because of X Y and Z
somebody had a signature that sums it up perfectly, cant remember who though.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

That doesn't necessarily mean people are hypocrites like you were implying. One can easily think GT's execution of one concept was terrible while BoG's execution of the same/similar concept was great. Being similar or the same ideas doesn't mean that people can't like one over the other, otherwise rip-offs wouldn't be frowned upon.

It depends, you can't just make a broad statement like that and expect it to hold up to scrutiny especially with such ill defined concepts as fanboying.
