It's so odd. Well, I remember one time there was this person in XF fandom who was really upset by Season 8 because people were so negative. There was one group who snottily criticized those of us they called the "Eight Haters" or the "Discontents," but they were incapable of having a discussion about the series that didn't involve talking about how awful we were for criticizing it--I think because Season 8 just really didn't have anything in it to sustain a good, positive conversation.
Anyway, this one person (not in that group) seemed genuinely upset because it was making her feel badly and she didn't like a lot of analysis because it seemed to hurt the thing. That seemed to be part of that rant...really not that analysis was bad but that it was coming to conclusions one didn't like. Or something.
