I'd say Mad Men too. But on a much smaller scale since it wasn't as popular.

Okay, yeah. Smaller shows that aren't the Walking Dead level of popular seem to have a better community. There's some that will nitpick (like the American Horror Story threads) but you can generally avoid the 1-2 that come in to talk about it and there's generally a discussion flow related to the show/episode itself. But the bigger shows are just awful for attempting to discuss anything.

The only thing worse than people nit-picking problems is when someone tries to be the lone defender of some turd like the final season of Dexter. That type of character is something Breaking Bad did right, someone who tries to pass off their actions as morally ambiguous but ultimately is a selfish asshole and gets tragic ending. The last couple episodes of BB were so sad when you saw how pathetic Walt felt, just perfect.

Dexter abandons everyone and survives without any punishment. I believe people view discussion of the shows as so important that they refuse to not believe that it meets their expectations, positive or negative.

The Americans and Justified threads were pretty good too.

Probably because they were just good shows. Only questionable decision is maybe the unrealistic kill counts.

Note also that the gaf communities for Justified and The Americans were fairly small (at least compared to say a Marvel show or even the old 24 threads). As a rule now though, If I like something (tv, film etc) I just stay away from the OT on gaf.

Well, almost 24/7. I seem to remember a single post doubting the German NYE attacks and then deafening silence as confirmation came in. Same for many of the big hitters that produce long-winded diatribes when college kids spell out stupid shit on t-shirts.

These jokers just look for easy bait to rail against. Oh look, the old conservative paid to say dodgy shit said some dodgy shit. To arms!

A lot of these people do it for status signaling purposes.

Disagreeing often isn't good enough.  Some people will interpret that as siding with the enemy because you didn't disagree hard enough and loud enough.  So "I think this is BS" turns into foaming at the mouth outrage so that way you can be known as someone who has the correct opinion.  These dipshits will never admit to being wrong either; they will either just disappear or they will double down on their bullshit.

Trolling these people is the only way to go.  These people aren't smart enough to figure out when they're getting trolled so you hope that they produce so much bile that they choke on it and make the world a better place by removing themselves from it.  Attempting to argue or reason with these people is a mistake because they're overgrown children who will just run and cry to the nearest authority figure as a response.

Also, Breaking Bad threads on Gaf during its two last seasons was a really fun time. The reactions, the constant arguments with the #TeamWalt people, guessing what was about to happen. I'd be lying if the forum interaction in between commercials didn't enhance the overall experience.

Breaking Bad on GAF is about the only TV show thread that didn't turn to shit. Any other TV show has had nitpickers or hate-watchers ever since and it's not as fun to sit there and wade though "OMG BAD EPISODE, THIS SHOW SUCKS" every. damn. week. from these people. It's like "we get it, you hate the show. Why are you still watching? Go watch something you enjoy and leave the rest of us to discuss the story?"

remember when puddles was the worst person in that thread and then tried to pretend he was trolling the whole time

People bitch about everything on TV over there. "SHIT SUCKS. SHIT WRITING. THIS SHIT ISN'T LOGICAL." etc. etc. etc. etc.

Even Breaking Bad had a few of these but not at the level some modern show threads do.

What's funny is when they netpick network TV only to turn around and watch magical little girl anime  :doge

You should see the people swearing off "America's Longest-Running Episodic Sports Entertainment TV Show On the USA Network" Monday Night Raw. Each week, 50% of people quit and like a junkie desperate for John Cena's essence, they're back in line next week. Can't stop em. Vince McMahon could take a gun and shoot Daniel Bryan in the stomach and the fans would still come back, swearing that they hate it.

Much to my regret, I plan on picking up 14 AND 15 this year to play them. I haven't bought a new FF since original 13 so I have really, really low expectations given the past year of news on 15. But I in no way, shape or form, have any real expectations for the franchise any longer except to be a teenager targeted mish mash of hogwash or 30 year old targeted nostalgia depending on the game of your choosing. I will also be purchasing 7 remake. I'm open-minded, I'll give them a chance. They're already on one strike, so whether or not any of these games will be two or three has yet to be seen but it's a huge possibility.

Not liking FF or not thinking FF is good isn't an edgy opinion. especially in your 30's as you reevaluate the media you once consumed. I have the memories tucked nicely in my heart, though. But I don't think it's edgy to think the series is no longer for you anymore as you age. That is just reality.

I don't even like FFXV, but the game looks really nice.  Mostly thanks to fantastic animation.  Hate on it for probably being a mediocre game with a shallow battle system & dumb story going from Tabata's track record.

They still bought it after 12, so this is nothing new.
Well that's because XII was great.

I don't know what people want from FF games, but the series has never let me down so I can't wait till 15. I think I pretty much enjoy every main installment and 15 looks great.
