TAR 35 (formerly called 36): Bitch, Moan & Squeal Here! *POSSIBLE SPOILERS!*

--- Quote from: ianthebalance on July 02, 2023, 12:47:04 PM ---It’s just really annoying to finally have a season again with plane travel, taxi travel, Asia, and a general feeling of lack of restraint on the show now that the pandemic is over yet have complaining about seemingly every little thing from countries, how long in countries, boot order, only 50% POC cast. The fact that we can have a season like this again feels like a miracle and I hope we can all cherish it

This is pretty much my sentiment. I’ve pulled away from other sites (Reddit being one) because there’s a general air of focusing heavily on the ‘do not likes’ of the show. It’s a frustration to find a niche place to discuss the show only to find that the sentiment is there too.
And I admit it comes from a place of calling it out in the hope that people will realize their concerns are coming from what seem like arbitrary places (which, hey, those are opinions) but I’m not interested in opening the threads to find people telling me that every new season is a bad season before anyone has even seen the show. As much as this is a spoiler site and there’s a level of knowing how things unfold from a skeletal point of view, these are, at their core, uninformed points of view. People are throwing the baby out with the bathwater over something they haven’t even experienced yet. And to me that’s a bit crazy. People are convinced, and I fully believe they’re convincing no others to think the same.
And at that point, it feels like they’re not in support of the show.
I’ve said it before— creating a thread to bitch and moan in will continually foster an echo chamber of negativity. I get if it’s felt that people need to have it, but it’s encouraging bitching and moaning more than it is just acting as a place to house it.
Leafsfan:
Yet you continue to post in this thread, bitching about other people bitching :lol:
If you don't like it, just don't read this thread.
Kiwi Jay:
Kyle, why not stop reading the thread then? You can always start up a new thread in TAR Discussion about the positives of the race and what you’re excited about seeing in 35-36. That could be a good alternative perhaps.
Hope that gives you an idea on how you can change your perception around. Because, you know, this is a bitch, moan and squeal thread. The clue is in the first two. If you want only positives from people to brighten your day, start a new thread in TAR Discussion. Because posting time and time again here, telling people how to feel, and how not to, is a one way ticket to unhappiness and a kind of self-flagellation, frankly.
Jjw26:
Maybe splitting this thread into two, one for bitching and moaning and one for squealing/positive only comments, would be best for everyone. You can choose the type of comments you see, positive or negative, while still remaining respective of others and their opinions. The people who keep complaining about seeing negativity can have a place to discuss their own positive thoughts without seeing the negative ones.
QuizMan92:
Honestly I would still be happy with a M/M team winning, there’s been a lot of older teams in this cast and it would be cool to see one win. We don’t know team personalities yet, these remaining M/M teams could be pretty funny/entertaining, for all we know (hopefully no 5 team alliances this time)
