Young Sheldonpretty much all chuck lorre shows
Why would watching a TV show make you a bad person? TC did you have any show in mind when you made this topic?
???
I sometimes wonder if I'm a bad person when watching true crime docs is all I want to do.
Today for example, I don't feel like playing any video games, no anime, tv shows or films, don't feel interested in any of that.
But I DO feel like true crime. I'm happy to look at any disturbing real life stuff rn. Why am I like this?
Because it interests you. Some days I wanna do nothing but watch reality tv.
Ancient Aliens, Oak Island, shows about cryptids, ghosts, the Bermuda Triangle, and basically any similar "THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!!!!!!!!~!!" type shows.
Being a credulous idiot is bad. Believing stupid things because you watch crap shows and are incapable of doing your own research or thinking for yourself is bad. Allowing those shows to influence your worldview is bad. The mere existence of those shows causes a net negative effect on the collective IQ of the world - and there's barely enough IQ to go around as-is.
Stupid people suck.
Can't you find those shows interesting while not necessarily believing the content?

Most reality tv imo. I watched Survivor occasionally when I was young, and the most recent thing I watched was Love is Blind (just the first season).
I wanna see Love is Blind Japan.
I wanna see Love is Blind Japan.Shit. I'mma have to watch that sometime.
You're gonna hate on Ancient Aliens? Really?
Ancient Aliens...doesn't seem inaccurate to me.
Yes.
And even more so on the people who watch it.
And that is precisely the problem.
Most of the time, if I see the show in passing, I will hear them present inaccurate or misleading information within the first minute or two of when I start listening. And when they're not straight up misrepresenting facts to support their distorted world-view, they're relying almost entirely on "weasel words" - phrases like "alien theorists suggest" or "is it possible that?" are used constantly (make it a drinking game and you'll be dead by the end of the show). Which is a rhetorical trick to suggest and imply things while still maintaining plausible deniability ("Well, I never said that, I just asked if it was possible ."). The show is almost entirely constructed from outright lies and deliberately false implications. The few true facts they actually include are usually only part of a framework to make a later lie seem more plausible.
The problem is that the average viewer doesn't have the skill, experience, or body of knowledge to parse out what is factual and what is complete and utter bullshit (ie, most of it), so are completely incapable of differentiating between truth and lies. Which means they'll generally accept what they're told at face value, because they lack the context to perceive the misinformation.
It's the same issue with "documentaries" which are heavily biased or deliberately manipulative - people hear the word "documentary" and assume what they're being told must be true, when it's either deliberately deceptive or inaccurate by virtue of incompetence. Which means they accept what they're told as being factual when it isn't. Which leads to them to construct worldviews and assumptions which are blatantly incorrect, which in turn can affect any number of possible decisions or choices they make in their future lives.
And science has proven that humans tend to believe the first things they hear on a given subject, and actively become resistant to facts that contradict those assumptions even when they're presented with definitive and objective proof that the first thing they learned was wrong. And attempting to disprove a mistaken assumption actually tends to make people believe those things even more .
In other words, shows like Ancient Aliens actively make people more ignorant. Because it's metaphorically building a shell around your brain that keeps facts and accurate history from getting in, while marinading your brain in nonsense that changes how you see the world and your place in it for the worse.
It's basically the social media of the TV world.
Ancient Aliens is good shit

How did you get to that conclusion?

Probably cause he's a transphobe?Not really but even if he was how would that make you a bad person for enjoying his show?
Honestly the only thing bad about Young Sheldon is that Sheldon is as annoying as ever. Everything else about it is decent, but people like to hate on it. Even if they've clearly never watched it; I've heard complaints about it having a laugh track, which it never did.My problem with Sheldon is that he's an arrogant, abrasive, unfunny prick. Anyone that unlikable would be totally friendless in the real world.
My problem with Sheldon is that he's an arrogant, abrasive, unfunny prick. Anyone that unlikable would be totally friendless in the real world.That does tie into what I said though. Sheldon himself is a pretty unlikable person, and if you don't like him that's fine. He's not always the focus despite being the namesake, and the rest of the show is all right; the characters and their dynamics, the plotlines, etc.

But I know from trying -- and failing -- to get into BBT , that I can't seperate the rest of the cast from him when he's the central character. Oh well.
Any that come to mind?Do any come to mind for you ? You should contribute to your own topic.
