Oooh, can we mention fictional characters and stories too? NO. No, we're putting the kibosh on that. You're just trying to make this a "general complaints" thread. |

I feel like the thread title is moot and people are already just naming stuff they don't like

Oh, pardon me. I misunderstood and I just thought this one of those general threads, where it was GAH for entertainment things, just as long as it's not wrestling.
So just so we're cool, let's see if I have this right
- Follow obvious FAN rules.
- Has to be the IRL person.
- Can't be because we disliked a show they did, or movie, or character we don't like.

I'm not really in the loop on pop culture, but I've been noticing more and more people rolling their eyes at The Rock, outside of the wrestling bubble.
Which felt weird because he always seemed to be really beloved.
I know there was the Maui controversy, maybe that kickstarted it

Taylor Swift, try doing a song that isn't "I'm the only one who deserves you." or "I'm the victim, nothing is ever my fault."

OK I'll try again. Delete if I again misread the thread...
Buddy Rich for hearing about him being bossy and misogynistic. Dusty Springfield slapping him for being so was a heroic moment for many.
On the topic of Dusty, her ex manager Vicki...as she seemed to undermine her and her career after her passing. Including an "authorized" biography that gave away several personal stories and got like everything wrong about Dusty's career timeline.
On a personal level, anyone who mistreated favorite performers will have GAH with me.
Rosie O'Donnell is like this. For me, she annoyed me with her "nice" character, then annoyed me when I heard stories about how that was apparently just a character indeed.
John Kricfalusi, this goes beyond his work. Even before we learned he was a shite person, his elitist thoughts about animation and bitterness about the Nickelodeon situation was grating.
Zack Snyder. I'll leave that here, but hold back on others if "I don't like their movies and attitudes about making them" is acceptable. I half doubt it.
I did mention certain celebrities based on their appearances on game show panels. If that's allowed, I'll elaborate.

Just saying is all. 99.9% of threads here fall under the board rules as they are, the only exceptions are stated to have a few relaxed rules to a point for the topic at hand i.e. election threads, so why should this thread have to be stated that you have to follow the rules? |

And it was easier to ignore her up until the last year or so when Swiftiemania exploded. It feels like she went from "popular singer that wrote a lot of breakup songs and got interrupted by Kanye West that one time" to "super-ultra-megastar that gets reactions that would put the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show to shame" seemingly overnight.

I would factor that more as "dude, what the hell?" heat, like the initial feeling after a shocking heel turn. See also, Dave Chappelle. Folks are still coming to terms with that one. |

John Oliver has MASSIVE go-away heat with me for both his dumb ass rant on how NBC’s Law And Order was somehow this sinister and eeeevil pipeline to hard right radicalism on his show, and for his lame performance as Zazu in 2019 Lion King. I mean, he didn't say that about Law & Order at all, he pointed out how it's "copaganda" which it absolutely is and I say that as a massive fan of the original show. Being Zazu, I dunno, maybe that did suck. I never bothered watching. |

Dick Wolf stated that it was specifically designed to be that way, since most law dramas up until that point was from the Defense attorney's perspective. He wanted the prosecutors to be seen as "the good guys" which was unheard of until Law and Order. |

Yeah, it was a shift for the time, whreas now, the vast majority of these types of shows lionize the police's side of things, unless it's some outsider detective correcting their course or something, and even then, they are rarely portrayed as in the wrong, exactly, but that the perpetrator is just oh-so masterful. We don't really even get "good cop steers bad/flawed cops in the right direction" stuff as often as used to be the case, like In The Heat Of The Night, Beverly Hills Cop arguably, etc, that often these days, it feels like. I guess these kinds of things shift in trends, but it does get noticeable. |

Which Oliver pointed out...I just watched 3 hours of the OG series tonight and not the good episodes either, the ones with Milena Govich. And yeah, you're yelling, "Gun that f***er down Greene!!!" And I'm left as shit, which is also Oliver's point. The cops and DA are always on the side of good, which they are, in the universe of the show. It was a very good show, even the show has a liberal bent within it being total copaganda. How you get Oliver thinks it leads to right wing extremism out his piece, no idea. I hope the OP says why. |
