I believe it was J. Michael Straczynski who once pointed out that even Shakespeare's work probably only achieves a 50% approval rating.

There's nothing wrong with having taste, and having some things that appeal to you and some that do not.

Of course, when people gather to honor things you dislike it is polite to quietly walk away. It is generally rude to interfere with their fun, unless innocent kittens are being injured or there's some other extenuating circumstance.

Additionally, to quote _why: "When you don’t create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. Your tastes only narrow and exclude people. So create."
