for example, i will almost never choose a movie i think has a super high chance of being bad, unless i'm watching it at least semi-ironically or it has significant cultural cachet i will happily voluntarily listen to a song i expect to dislike once if i'm told to try it, though i won't stay on a song i instructions dislike on the radio/playlist if i'm alone and i have no outside reason to stay on it i will read books i expect to be bored by or dislike if i think they'll help me gain perspective (and they're length is reasonable) i no longer play any video games i expect to dislike completely --- yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness ...

aside from music, i can't imagine doing this at all except for the very specific scenario of doing this 'as a bit' with friends with a movie so bad it's fun to relentlessly make fun of it (The Room, God's Not Dead, etc.) i'll try music I don't like if it's recommended to me although my friends have my tastes pretty down by this point so that rarely happens --- The Artist Formerly Known as Hannyabal ...

Pretty often for Board 8 music contests where I am expected to listen to all of the songs involved before voting. Although, sometimes I'll just abstain if I really don't want to put up with something. For movies, mostly just when watching stuff with friends. Although, I like most non-horror stuff so this doesn't really come up much. For video games, pretty much never. I don't have enough time to make it through the stuff I do want to play as is. --- My bracket looked like random picks compared to his. Congrats to azuarc for winning the GotD 2020 Guru Contest! ...

If you mean expectations from before I started the thing at all (as opposed to starting something, realizing I hate it, but forcing myself to finish it anyway) then I actually don't do this very often. With anime, for example, I've watched plenty of shows I expected to be mediocre, but it takes more than that for me to dislike them. All the ones I disliked are ones I had high hopes for! --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (On mobile) ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've done this sometimes for anime where the premise sounds bad but there's a lot of hype behind the series. Either the series will actually be good or I gain the ability to proclaim the series as worthless while having a leg to stand on, so it's really a win-win scenario. --- I didn't do guru this year but azuarc can be in my sig anyways. ...

does it count as voluntary if the whole friend group wants to watch a movie and you don't want to be the dick who says "absolutely not"? --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Kenri posted... does it count as voluntary if the whole friend group wants to watch a movie and you don't want to be the dick who says "absolutely not"? no, that specifically doesn't count. having to settle for a movie on date night that your partner wants to watch is similar. i'm talking about like 100% your choice. you might not have access to what you want to watch specifically but you can definitely choose just not to watch/listen/play and not do anything --- yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness ...

Eh, sometimes. If I want to watch a movie but I'm too tired to really pay attention to something I've been wanting to watch, then I'll throw on something I have little expectation of enjoying. Games less so, they're a longer commitment, but it does happen when I want to complete a series and get to an entry regarded as bad. I should do this more though to broaden my tastes and get out of my media comfort zone! This is an interesting question. --- Very very slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. ...

If it's a series I'm curious about, I'll try out a piece of "bad" media to help give greater context for the rest of the series. Recent example: I got the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, and I sought out a guide so I could play through Simon's Quest despite the game being infamously awful. --- Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi azuarc beat me. ...

I try to avoid that as best as possible, but this is coming from the guy who just forced himself to beat Tales of Zestiria despite suffering through it all. Sometimes I watch things that are considered "bad" to see if they're "horrendous" or "So Bad It's Good" (SBIG). When it's SBIG, I'm glad I did. When it's "horrendous" you get me saying all those negative things about Zestiria. --- Come check out my movie watchthrough topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80167031 ...

I'll do it for most things. I've found a few hidden gems buried in stuff I didn't expect to be any good. TeamRocketElite posted... For video games, pretty much never. I don't have enough time to make it through the stuff I do want to play as is However video games are the exception because of this (and because I feel like it's easier to grasp if a vg will be bad at a glance for me) --- No problem!
