Why complaining about "over-analyzing" is wrong.
Well, hey dudes!
On to war we go!!
Nahh, just kidding.
I'm just going to address something I feel has been a bit of a problem between users on this site as of late, and give my take on it, because seeing all this complaining and fighting is beginning to wear me out, as well as others, I'm sure.
I keep seeing people complain about how people will over-analyze the show, often saying things like "they don't enjoy it" and "it's just a kids show," while citing that they need to "be a chill brony" or something along those lines.
Now, I have a problem with this because of 2 things.
The first being that the "chill bronies" aren't being "chill" at all. I don't think endlessly complaining about the way some people view the show is very chill, I'm sorry. If you were really relaxed about the show, you wouldn't try to pick fights with other members and moan about how you hate how the people who tend to enjoy analyzing the show are so serious about it that they cannot enjoy the show.
I really do get a sense of enjoyment analyzing the show, sharing my thoughts and opinions about what I liked and disliked about an episode or a character, and there's more who feel the same way.
Now, are there some that over-analyze? Yes. Some people try too hard to look more intelligent than the next guy, or complain just to complain, whatever. I'm not going to stand up for those people, and lie and say there's not any.
But frankly, I'm getting just a tad bit irritated about being told I don't enjoy the show, or I don't enjoy the show in the right way. I enjoy the show so much, that I dedicate all of my free time to participating in the fandom in anyway I can, whether it be through fanfics, blogs, running togethertube rooms, or just hanging out around these forums. I enjoy the show, and the people in this show.
That leads to the second problem.
My second problem with the way the people who are constantly complaining about the people who tend to over-analyze is the way they handle it. They'll go onto show discussion topics, blogs, or whatever they may find just to complain about the fact people are taking the show so seriously.
Now, there's no right or wrong way to watch a tv show.
But, these people keep trying to force their mindset of how they enjoy watching the show onto others, how have a different way of enjoying the show.
I hope you'll understand me when I say trying to mold people's opinions to match your own is not a good thing to do to people, and it certainly isn't "chill."
Now, honestly, if you don't like the way the people who analyze the show all the time enjoy the show, just ignore them. I don't enjoy Roleplays, but do I go over to that section and start telling them that they're wrong because I disagree? No, I just don't go to that section at all.
Now, is it wrong for you to be a chill brony? Of course not! Hell, it's not even wrong of you to get irritated when someone over-analyzes the show!
What IS wrong, however, is how you constantly put down and judge the members of this site who do enjoy analyzing the show, and go onto topics meant for analysis and discussion of the show to complain about it.
Again, there's no right and wrong way to view a TV show.
