Line 14:
A [[Sub Trope]] of [[Opinion Myopia]]. Compare with [[Sacred Cow]] and [[Unacceptable Targets]], both in which even the slightest bit of criticism will bring heavy derision on you. Contrast with [[Fan Hater|Fan Haters]], which this trope has been known to spawn, and [[Hatedom]]-- if these groups exist for the work in question, they can serve as a [[Vocal Minority]], with fans linking everyone who doesn't love the work to the hate-spewing groups.
The only thing worse than people not watching your favorite show is [[
[[No Real Life Examples Please|Only in-universe examples here please]]. Adding real life examples can tend to devolve into [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Like]], and the irony tends to make us kind of dizzy.
Line 20:
=== Fictional Examples: ===
* In ''[[Sabrina Online (Webcomic)|Sabrina Online]]'', Sheila does this when Sabrina gives a lukewarm review of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''.
* On ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]'', the Griffin family tears Peter a new one after he announces that he didn't care for ''[[The Godfather (Film)|The Godfather]]''. It's based on the typical reaction to [[Seth Macfarlane]] saying the same.
* In ''[[I Carly]]'', Freddie saying he doesn't think [[Fred]] is that funny results in him [[Disproportionate Retribution|losing every friendship he has and being ostracised from every club, his family calls up to abuse him, and in the end is beaten up by Sam with a tennis racquet and forced to directly apologize to Fred]].
Line 28:
* In ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]'', Jeff makes a passing reference to not liking the band 'The Barenaked Ladies' and is immediately attacked by the entire study group.
* One cover of [[She Hulk]] comic books included She-Hulk herself crumpling up the comicbook and threatening to beat the crap out of everyone for not reading her series.
* In the ''My Little Pony'' fanfiction ''[[Turnabout Storm (Fanfic)|Turnabout Storm]]'', [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Rainbow Dash]] gets quite upset at [[Ace Attorney (Visual Novel)|Phoenix Wright]] for not knowing who The Wonderbolts (a group of pegasi acrobats which Dash is a huge fan of) are. Nevermind Phoenix has barely spent one hour [[Trapped in Another World|trapped in Equestria]].
* Lampshaded with Yamaguchi from [[Cromartie High School]]. He has thought of himself saying that [[Show Within a Show|Pootan]] (to him) is stupid.
* During his stand-up tour of [[New Zealand]], [[Billy Connolly]] shared an anecdote about how he saw a group of New Zealanders attack a fellow countryman. On asking why they did it, one replied: "He hasn't seen ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' yet."
