Except Us, Listen to Our Opinions

have you ever had something you loved suddenly turn horribly against you?  Favorite food, drink, movie, where one fact u nvr noticed made you find it revolting?  Like you love a certain pizza, but one day a friend tells you it smells like old moldy cheese and u cant eat it anymore?

 or when ur all excited about harry potter, and that old bitch says "Dumbledore's gay", thus making his relationship with Harry extra... "special"

Not an issue for some people, but it does throw the situation into a new light. I think of this phenomenon in a more concrete sense. For example, you may love Mexican food. Then one day your friend comments the ground beef looks like shit. That would ruin almost anyone's appetite for chimichangas. Though in that case, the quality of your food selection is equal to the appearance of the food...shit

This brings up the question of how much of our own opinions are based on the opinions of others. Maybe you have a secret love, but dont want anyone to know for fear of being judged. A guilty pleasure. But why does it have to be a guilty one? Why are we ashamed of what we enjoy?

because we give other peoples opinions more credibilty than our own. why?

What about critics, who are supposedly better versed in the subject than we are? Do their opinions count more than ours, or our friends?

hpw about Kickass? great movie :)  but universally deadpanned by many critics

Well, if you want to call it great....

 DUDE little girls who kill things rock!!!!!!

I'm just saying I see why it was poorly reviewed, all it contained was little girls killing things tied together with a kid getting his ass beat as he tried to play superhero. And then lets throw in a jetpack, because why not?

JETPACKS ROCK!!!!!!!!

....I will concede that point. Jetpacks do rock. But I think the point of the matter is, everyone has their own tastes, and there is no universal good or bad label. Even people with similar tastes dont agree on everything, and you can never rely on someone elses opinion to form your own. I think the worst part is that we allow other peoples opinions to affect our own. Not avoiding something we hear is no good, but letting their judgement change our opinion without realizing it. You might have actually liked the second and third Pirates of the Caribbean movies, if everyone around you had said how terrible they were

I agree, but its our fault for being weak willed sheep. we need to stay up n fight for our opinions. n kill those who stand against us

As always, we here at PointlesslyTrendy do not condone killing. 

i condone killing. of everyone

Just, trust your own opinion, dont let people make up you mind for you. If possible, dont even seek out reviews, they affect your judgement without you even realizing it at times. And please, dont kill anyone who thinks differently
