Re: Why All of the Nasty Threads About Shawn?

One question... Why do people torture themselves watching a host they don't like??? Masochistic behavior just is unappealing to me.. If someone annoys me I avoid them.

I believe that most of the ladies have seen the change in Shawn since she became the star.  Cat Very Happy  Personally, I don't care for the change either.

@Trinity11

 

I agree!

 

I have enough going on in my life that really matters, to intentionally submit my time/energy/focus/brain power to anyone/anything that annoys me.

 

There's 1,000 things to do instead, that won't stress me out, LOL!

          @Trinity11,  There's a phenomenon called "hate-watching."   It's basically viewing a show, or a person, or even following someone on social media (even though we don't like the show or the people) "for the purpose of the enjoyment one derives from mocking or criticizing."    It's become a "sport" encouraged by social media (including chat forums).   Not that this is the reason for all those who continue to watch and then ridicule and disparage the same shows/hosts, but I really do think it explains some of this odd, recurring, dysfunctional cycle.

Kind of like negativity is contagious... And yes, it's kind of like a new sport.
