thanks but I was reminded I hate musicals.
I’m sorry. I know everyone’s tastes are different, but I can’t help but feel kinda bad for people who don’t appreciate musicals. They’re like an empathy-based drug. “Here, experience some emotional highs and lows for a couple of hours.”
Don't you think it is a bit harsh to accuse people who doesn't like musicals of being sociopaths?
That’s a wild misinterpretation of what I said.
There are plenty of reasons not to like musicals. The songs ruin immersion for some people, the format is cheesy, the acting is over the top, the plots are almost always formulaic. The description of them as “an empathy-based drug” doesn’t mean someone who doesn’t like them doesn’t experience empathy. It’s such a leap from what I said that I feel like you’d have to actively try to misunderstand me to get that.
