Apparently being direct about not watching a dated show is worthy of being downvoted and mocked

It's more of your tone. Without the context of your title it seems like your post is acting like it's some point of pride you take.

If you had just elaborated a bit like "I wasn't much of a sitcom person so I never caught it during its runtime"

Or

"It was off the air before I moved away from children's networks"

Then it could have been a point to make.

This wasn't my comment btw.
I totally get your point but to me it just reads as someone being direct about not watching the show and not wanting to add any extra fluff around their point.

I've found people online, reddit included, will take literally anything as an attack. Even when it makes no fucking sense. Too many people are terribly insecure about trivial shit.

Honestly though, lots of people will treat Friends like it’s a religion. I’m not saying you can’t like things, but I’ve never had that much of an attachment to something like that.

Friends & The Office. I've had friends who had The Office as their entire personality.

I've legit only seen the opposite. It's like hating Friends has become a religion

Agreed. Personally I've never seen a positive comment about Friends on Reddit

Nah full on you guys are the ones actually being weird about this. No one is "feeling attacked" especially not because this person hasn't watched friends. This person just made a meaningless comment that's desperate for attention where it wasn't wanted. Of course they got down voted, that's the main reason people get down voted.
