  • Never said any of that.

    You are projecting so hard.

    I just said you shouldn’t be proud of being culturally blind.

    You then got really upset and have been going on about “Hype™”.

    Doesn’t ruin my day.

    You sure about that? Because you seem very upset, that I don’t think you’re just the coolest for going out of your way to not watch anything mainstream.

    You’re the one being proud of your cultural blindness.

    Must be hell being you.

    “Hey did you check out that new show on TV?’ really cool”

    “Why would you say that. Now I can never watch it because it’s been tainted by ‘Hype’ from the lamestream. I am a free thinker that will never bow to the pressure to conform by consuming what’s popular. You god dam nazi scum”

    “I forget you’re like this”

    (This is of course assuming you have a job interacting with people)



  • Nobody is obligated to understand every media reference

    The very post we are talking about explains the scene and doesn’t require knowledge of the film.

    If comprehending the post itself is too much? Then you are deliberately going out of your way to make yourself culturally blind, and to be a contrarian to what’s popular culture.

    don’t remember that seen

    It’s the emotional payoff right at the end, not some random scene half way through. If you can’t remember the end of a film, yikes.

    In other words, hype

    In other words you’ve been going out of your way to avoid it because it’s popular and watching what’s popular would ruin your hipster identity.

    that receives hype

    If Titanic was some low budget indy film, that would be a fair complaint.

    But when it’s one of the biggest films of all time.

    Constantly referenced, in the popular zeitgeist for years. Changed movie going for years. If this was Crank 2, sure I would be perfectly ok with someone not knowing. But it’s not.

    This isn’t about having a photographic memory for every scene and plot point. (Although if you think you need that to remember the media you’ve watched. Yikes, hate to be you)

    At a certain point it changes from “I haven’t watched this so I don’t know” to “I am deliberately going out of my way to pretend to not know anything about this”

    That’s being a contrarian, that’s being culturally blind, that’s trying to be a hipster and proud of it.

    It’s bloody Titanic.

    If you never heard it seen anything about it.

    You’re either the perfect shut in that doesn’t leave the house or interact with anyone or anything. Or lying through your teeth to make yourself look cool and hipster to random internet strangers.

    It’s been talked about online, referenced in other media.

    I know the average Lemmite makes being a contrarian their only personality trait.
