No, you don't see that attitude more and more. That's just a thing that people say. It's not even an attitude.

What I mean is that I don't know anyone that actually watches that show, but I hear about it like constantly on podcasts, interviews, etc. So it feels like some sort of zeitgeist that is just a mirage. But it just sounds like myself and those around me most have different tastes. cool, whatever. Enjoy your show.

I can still think its a really stupid show without thinking that the people that enjoy it are stupid.

But that happens all the time, it's not unusual at all, it's just different things for different people.

I was never into Disney/Pixar/cartoon (even as a child I rarely found anything animated engaging or funny, because in my mind 'anyone' can do that - make a drawing look or say something funny - there's not a skillful expression or delivery) or DC/Marvel/Star Wars stuff. Obviously plenty of people are!
