So, you don't consume any type of fiction media? Must suck to be you.

I don't consume media that pretends to be a real competition. It is like watching a staged baseball game. Boring.

It's a scripted show, with writing, choreography, and stunt work for entertainment.
So you also don't like anything that's scripted but intentionally presents itself as being serious. So you don't like mockumentaries like Spinal Tap, Pop Star, American Vandal. You also don't like movies like Rocky because it's all scripted.
Again, a sad life to must live. I'm sure you're fun in social gatherings.

Why sad? Not that I'm defending him bashing pro-wrestling but I find that I'm enjoying nonfiction entertainment more than fiction these days, things like documentaries, biographies, diaries, news articles, etc.

Yeah, everyone loves a good documentary and other nonfiction media. But if you're someone who would write off all fiction because "it's not real, it's all fake!" then you're missing out many amazing things and are probably a pretty obnoxious person to be around socially if that's the lense you view entertainment through.

I don't know. I say to each their own. I don't think preferring one or the other says anything about someone as a person. Besides, I think the "it's all fake" is a valid reason to not like fiction. Is it not true? Not that I feel that way but people aren't wrong when they say that.

I'm not saying having a preference is wrong, but to write off the entirety of fiction is moronic. Imagine being at a party and some popular song comes on and TC is the kinda guy to go "this shit is fake, they didn't even write the song themselves, who would listen to this!" Instead of just having fun.
That's the kind of guy you're at a movie with and during the movie they stop to say how unrealistic some specific thing was.

That's the kind of guy nobody likes.
