Basic Trope: A character complains about other people not being a fan of the media they like.
- Straight: Bob mentions he doesn't like the show "Tropers", and Alice (who is a fan of the show) gets mad at him for it.
- Exaggerated: Bob mentions offhandedly that he has a pretty neutral opinion about the show. Alice murders him for it.
- Downplayed:
- Bob mentions he wasn't a big fan of "Tropers". Alice shrugs and says "Well, alright, you're entitled to your obviously, inherently wrong opinion."
- Bob doesn't say that he outright dislikes the show, but does give some criticisms of some aspects of the show he didn't particularly like. Alice gets mad at him for it because she doesn't have any issue with these aspects of the show.
- Justified:
- Bob was bringing up his dislike for "Tropers" for no reason, or just to be a Jerkass and spite Alice who is a fan of the show, so it's understandable as to why she'd be mad at him.
- Bob is Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch. He's never seen "Tropers", and it really is better than it looks in advertisements, so why does he automatically think he hates it?
- Alice is very defensive of her favorite shows and can't stand to believe someone doesn't like them.
- Tropers is Alice’s special interest, and she’s very sensitive to criticism about it.
- Inverted:
- Bob is a Fan Hater who gets mad at Alice for liking "Tropers".
- Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch
- Subverted: Bob says he doesn't like the show. Alice simply shrugs, and says "Okay, you can have your own opinion" instead of getting mad.
- Double Subverted: And then she adds "...But your opinion is totally wrong."
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: Bob doesn't mention disliking a show, and/or Alice reacts fine to Bob saying he doesn't like it.
- Enforced: To set up An Aesop on respecting others' opinions.
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: The show "Tropers" is brought up. Bob knows he doesn't like the show, so he just doesn't join in on the conversation.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
Man, could you imagine not wasting your life away at Tv Tropes? I mean, who in their right mind would not wanna do that!?
