#what is your problem
A good rule to live by is that if you hate some piece of media, you should care less about it, devote less energy to it, and spend less time thinking about it than the people who like it. This isn’t even a “don’t criticize” or “positive vibes only” thing, it’s more of an “if you talk about hating it more than the fans talk about liking it, the net result is that you’re the one keeping attention fixed on it”
“A lot of people online vocally hate the development in the show and have made a million posts calling on people to stop watching it, and also they watch every episode and comment on the new developments they’re enraged by” is a great way to get the show to keep doing developments like that (look how much engagement it nets!) and also, especially if the outrage is for legitimate social reasons, an EXCELLENT way to ensure that all the creeps online see your objections and suddenly take an interest in supporting it, where they wouldn’t have before.
“A lot of people online realized they hate the show now, so they just sorta stopped watching and stopped talking about it” usually ends up causing the show to fall out of public favor and get cancelled
