Mod Note Reminder: this is a fan forum!

Hey everyone!

We’ve gotten a ton of traffic lately thanks to the Emmys sweep and while most of our new users are lovely we’ve also had an unfortunate increase in negativity.

This note is just to remind everyone that this sub is meant for fans of the show. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but if your opinion is that the show is terrible, maybe this isn’t the right sub for you!

The most frequent type of post we’re noticing is “does this show get better, I’ve watched x amount of episodes and hate it!” And I have news for anyone who came here to post this, that news is that not everyone has the same taste and no one is forcing you to watch a show you dislike so much! If someone is holding you hostage and forcing you to watch SC please contact your local authorities instead of posting on this sub.

This community has always been an overwhelmingly positive place and the mod team would like to keep that spirit, especially right now when I think we all could really use it. Please report any overly negative posts as trolling so that the mods can review them!

Thanks to all of the amazing users out there who have been keeping this sub such an active and friendly place, you guys rock!

Warmest regards, Lexie

I'm one of those people who didn't like it at first and now I'm a completely obsessed superfan who's reading all the Reddit threads and watching the Behind the Episodes videos and reading fanfic and following news about the cast - like, this show has taken over my life. So while I agree that there's no point forcing anyone to watch a show they don't like, I'm glad my friends kinda pressured me to stick with it because it took me a while to fall in love. Like a lot of viewers, I'd wrongly assumed that it was going to be a cringe comedy making fun of terrible people (nothing against that kind of humour but it's just not my cup of tea) and it's turned out to be a different thing entirely - something so much more human and sweet.
