Do I find it embarrasing? I know not the meaning of the word. I've always talked about it with anyone. If someone doesn't want me talking about it with him or her, I have to respect their wishs of course, but nothing has stopped me bringing it up before that point. I worked at a hardware until this year. I talked about it to my fellow employees as well as my boss. It turned out that my boss had even heard of it.
I began playing World of Warcraft, a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (or just MMORPG) and I've found a number of people around my age that like it. I don't have the time to ask every single player I meet, but one day, I met a Troll Hunter with a pet Raptor. She had named him/her "Littlefoot." I quickly walked over and asked her if she was a Land Before Time fan. She said she was, but was surprised when I told her that there was more than one movie. She either doesn't much television, as I saw various movies advertised frequently, or she watched channels that didn't show such commercials.
I met one girl just one year younger than me. She is still a big fan. I invited her to join, and she may. Being as she may join, I'd best not say anything about her in regards to The Land Before Time.
I met one woman who I also invited and may join some time. She has been a guest on here before after I gave the address, but I didn't get her opinion yet, as the character of mine we communicate with is in a stressful situation (very complicated).
The list just goes on. I've spoken to many more on that game, many more in other internet location, and offline. I haven't been made fun of in a very long time as well. Everybody I've talked to in over a year either likes it or hasn't heard of it. Nobody has expressed any displeasure with my taste in this.
The expressing of my love of The Land Before Time has never been restricted by how others might think. To like or not to like this is a matter of opinion. There is no fact about this improving your health, and there is no fact that this causes physical harm. Therefore, I simply hear peoples' thoughts on this, and if they like it, I agree. If they don't, I agree. People should be able to be comfortable indulging in innnocent franchises without fear, and if people don't like it, that's fine. The Land Before Time isn't for everyone.
I find no reason for embarrasement. If someone finds this stupid, that's their opinion, and I'm not embarrsed when being told that. Besides, aren't opnions just involuntary? People don't consciously decide if they find something childish or not. If someone watches a movie, it is either childish to them or not. I don't feel people ever need to think it over.
While I don't think it's right to make fun of others, I'm not embarrassed about it. They have an opnion about this, and they are making the poor choice to take their displeasure out on the ones who take part in it. If I feel anything, it's pity for those who lack the proper judgement to state views so instead are critical.
I get embarrased for things like singing in a choir and forgetting the words, or losing rhythm while posting in a horse show. I find no reason to feel humiliation because others dislike what I do like and make the effort to point it out. If fifty people are going to point and laugh at me for liking something because they don't, it's not going to effect my day. All that means is that we have different views, and they chose to be mean. Being as I do not make fun, I actually take pleasure in it, knowing I'm a better person in this aspect.
Again, I do admit that I have odd takes on social situations, so I hope no one was offended by anything I said. I said all of this on behalf of my own ways. I am not speaking for anyone else. I didn't mean to sound like I'm saying how to respond and feel to people, just how I do so personally. I apologise if anything I said bothered anyone, as I did not wish to do so.
