... I got annoyed by the negative responses...not because they were negative... but in how they were. They provided examples of what I’d call the “Negative ‘AHA!’ Moment”, or the moment that provides vindication of whatever negative opinions people have...

... It becomes less about bothering to enjoy the show, but about using the show to prove a point that there’s a reason to hate on the show...
Haters gonna hate. I find people insincerely doing things they hate, without an open mind, and actively trying to spin and cling to any potential foothold, sad. However, the reactions can be hilarious.

For the lulz:

If there’s a chance to mock others for raging, we mock others for raging. Everyone sits on their own high horse, be it moral (“I can’t stand incest! I thought this show was above that!”), aesthetic (“I can’t stand Kirino! I thought she was better than bitchdere!”), or meta (“I can’t stand these other bloggers! I thought they would manage to keep their heads on!”).
In other news, Oreimo is amusing.
