== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Bungaku Shoujo]]''; As an in-universe example of sorts, in the animated short (based on a series of light novels about a girl who literally eats books and the boy she makes write for her), the eponymous "literature girl" complains about the out-of-nowhere ending of a story the boy has written for her, leading him to reply "Hey, if you don't like it, don't eat it."
Line 64:
* ''[[iCarly]]'': Seddie is Seddie, Creddie is Creddie, and [[Ship-to-Ship Combat|never the twain shall meet]]. This also applies to the [[Fanfic]]. You could tell everyone straight up from word 1, shouting up and down your story will end as Creddie, the readers would happily read 50 chapters of Carly/OC, Freddie/Wendy or Carly/Griffin until they finally get together, but you put Freddie with Sam for a couple chapters, and you'll get complaints.
* Co-creator of ''[[Seinfeld]]'' Larry David would often state "If you don't like it, please don't watch" in response to various criticisms of the show
* In a press conference before the rebooted ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' series premiere, Edward Olmos was asked about the reaction by fans of ''[[Battlestar Galactica Classic]](1978 TV series)|the original ''Battlestar fansGalactica'']] to the reimagining. He said, flatly, "if you're a fan of the original, don't watch the new one. You won't like it, turn it off." This made some minor entertainment headlines ("Eddie Olmos ''doesn't'' want you to watch his new show!") and was probably the result of Olmos seeing one too many [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|complaints]] from the original show's fans about the new show just existing. Ron Moore would later admit that it turned into better publicity than they could've paid for with people tuning in just to see why Olmos thought they would hate it.
* In a pre-series [http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2009/02/22/kamen-rider-returns-to-us-television/ interview], ''[[Kamen Rider Dragon Knight]]'''s producer Steve Wang commented on [[Fan Dumb|fans]] who [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|automatically hate any US adaptation without giving it a fair shot]], saying (in so many words) that ''Dragon Knight'' wasn't for them, and that he'd be the first to suggest they just not bother watching the show at all to save themselves the trouble of going to the fan forums and [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Like|bitching about it]].
