People are particularly harder on Hook than anyone else it seems
A lot of this–for me–is just how this forum developed over the years. I don’t really know WHY–maybe because Jenny and Daniel and Jeremy (and later me when I joined the podcast)–were all unabashedly SF–this forum because heavily pro-SF and heavily anti-CS. This place became a bit of refuge for SF fans who felt maligned elsewhere in the fandom and because of that influx, the CSers began to leave as a result. It’s not fair. I’ve never been fully comfortable in the way I couldn’t find a way to balance things or to make it fair to all sides. It used to be a lot more equal around here; I mean, the CS thread was well on its way to 2000 pages at one point. But again, sorta like I said above, at this point there’s really no solution. Everyone is welcome here but you will quickly find that this site has a pretty heft bias (but we’re great with spoilers, theories, and interesting conversation that hopefully outweighs the fact that, in reality, most people around these parts really dislike CS/Hook).
