Why are you not watching this?

Hard mode
>you can't play the "it's for normies" card
>Don't get pissy about politics (big ask, I know)
>Try to realize that it's meant to be lighthearted
Honestly though, it's comfy, funny, light, just a great show in general and doesn't force any messages down your throat. The theme of it being a spoof of telenovellas makes it pretty charming too.
>>
>>70769459
Since when was ask a noun, retard?

>>70769459

Fuck off CW marketing team.

Does she have hairy arms? If not, I'm not watching this shit.
>>
>>70769597
>>70769772
I should have added no shitposting to the list it seems.
It's funny, what it takes for something to be taken seriously. It has to seem conventional enough to not be "edgy" but unconventional enough to not be "for normies". Anything else literally has no chance and it's sad. This is legitimately a high quality, fun show with good writing.
Oh sorry, it's mass appeal so it can't cater to /tv/'s obsessive standards.
>>
>>70769459
I watch. It's cute. BUT, too much product placement (Simon & Schuster).
>>
>>70769882
Fair enough. I personally enjoy the emotion of the show. It gives it a good energy and the family dynamic is believable, without straying into "teenage girl" territory.
>>
>>70769984
Seinfeld was also mass appeal and everyone loves it, fuck off shill.
>>
>>70769459
I'm not interested, but Gina Rodriguez is beautiful.

> pregnant woman must be for women
But it is? Women like those stories, men usually don't. I don't see the issue.
>>
>>70770005
Really? I've not noticed a single example but maybe the products are less obvious to someone who's not from the US. It is cute. It's just a very comfy show in general.
>>
>>70770075
I just looked her up to see if she has hairy arms and of course she waxes everything, but she has cutting scars on her left arm. What a dumb whore.
>>
>>70769459
watched it. its shit
>>
>>70770110
Oh, I agree. But when she was about to get a book contract with S&S, I looked it up and they are owned by the same company as the CW. I was kind of irritated because she did this whole "OMG, the greatest publisher in the world!" thing. But I still like her and the show.
>>
>>70770054
9 times out of 10 /tv/ is going to hate anything mass appeal like this show. Seinfield is quite an exception. Jane the Virgin is mass appeal while also being about a pregnant latino, based on a telenovella. The show doesn't have a chance to be taken seriously here regardless of how well made it actually is.

Well that's fair enough but it doesn't need to be ridiculed, or underestimated. I am a man who has watched this series and it's only when you get into it that you see that there's more to it than "aw muh feels and emotions, aw, pregnant women, hormones". That's only a catalyst for the story while tying into complex relationships and family dynamics.

Man, why are you vehemently defending a telenovela spoof on the television section of a Japanese cartoon imageboard? You're replying to ever post passionately arguing for this show... how did your life come to this?
>>
>>70770961
I'm not forcing anyone. I'm just trying to understand why /tv/ will tolerate capeshit and got and not something less conventional. People judge stuff like this way too much on a surface level, as you are. I'm only trying to have a discussion here. You can get mad about your precious board culture not being adhered to if you want though.
>>

Homo McButtfuck is insecure about the show he watches and wants someone. Anyone to amen his actions. Notice none of the post that are positive about the show have no reply because he's samefagging.

It's 3 am and I felt like going on /tv/.
If this were got or capeshit I would not get any sort of reply like this.
Again, I simply wanted to discuss this without it snowballing into memes and shitposting, obviously /tv/ isn't above that. And that's FINE, I expect no less from any part of 4chan, it's no big deal to me. I'm just here to see what I can get. Call the police.

yeah, that's so obnoxious of me.
I have no iddue with people like >>70771439
they've simply watched the show and don't like it, fair enough.
But let's imagine if this show had a larger following here. The shitposters, the ones I'm shitposting to in reposnse with capeshit insults, would get BTFO quite quickly because there'd be people here trying to actually discuss the show, instead of throwing mindless insults and cynicism. But as one of only about six people here liking the show, I'm inevitably going to come off as obnoxious when all I'm doing is playing with the shitposters.
>>

ive dated a few latinas and they are the most obnoxiously self-assured dipshits on the planet...

oh and when they're not calling you "stupid" because you "didn't load the dishwasher right" (and insisted on never showing me "the right way" and just laughed like a fucking bitch) they are amping it up into full "crazy fucking cunt mode"

You'd think it would be a show for teenage girls. It obviously can be. I mean it's about a pregnant latina. But there's more to the show than that, it's more about the actual plot, centered around a crime ring, of course the more immediate theme of family is big too but that makes it interesting and gives the show depth.

It's difficult to not come off as defensive when basically everyone's attacking you for trying to discuss something. Am I expected to take it like a bitch? I'd rather have some fun if no one's going to take this seriously.

You started the conversation on the defensive. No one said a word to you. You weren't taking a thing.

Needs to stop removing her:

arm hair, including shoulders, knuckles, hands
armpit hair
leg hair, including thighs, upper and inner, as well as feet and toes
ass hair
nipple hair
belly hair no matter how far up it goes
mustache and other facial hair

and maybe I'll watch it then.
>>
>>70772352
So it's defensive to try and tune out shitposters?
As far as I'm aware using "hard mode" or "why are you/are you not" is not defensive.
Yeah, I'm an idiot for thinking /tv/ would ever be satisfied with not shitposting about the show, or making superficial judgments. Hey, I tried.
>>
>>70772497
You seem to know enough about this board
If anything you are the shitposter here. You're trying to force other people to be nice and stop not liking what you like.
Give it a rest.
>>
>>70772497
>So it's defensive to try and tune out shitposters?
Tune out means ignore. That's the opposite of what you did. You created opponents in your own mind and started arguing with them before they appeared.
>As far as I'm aware using "hard mode" or "why are you/are you not" is not defensive.
It is the way you did it.
>I'm an idiot for thinking /tv/ would ever be satisfied with not shitposting about the show
I think we were all quite satisfied before you got here.
>>
>>70772572
>If anything you are the shitposter here
>Trying to start a reasonable discussion about something makes you a shitposter

>You're trying to force other people to be nice and stop not liking what you like.
Nah. I was literally trying to have a discussion here without mindless cynicism or shitposting. I accept that people dislike the show, but it's funny how people like you will ignore any thing that comes my way that's obviously shitposting, but when I shitpost in response, it's met with criticism. Like how are you even defending this? It's a matter of being reasonable vs. shitposting. /tv/ IS capable of the former, but it's somehow unacceptable to want that if the thing you're discussing is something that's hated or is unconventional.
>>
>>70772802
Maybe it's because you're a dull faggot who doesn't even understand shitposting? It's not something everyone gets, and some people, like you, are just annoying cunts who appear as unfunny tardmeisters when they attempt it.
>>
>>70772713
>Tune out means ignore. That's the opposite of what you did. You created opponents in your own mind and started arguing with them before they appeared.
Please. I didn't create any opponents. Introduction or not, the thread would be infested with cynicism and shitposting regardless.
>It is the way you did it.
And do you realize why it's defensive the way I did it? Because I'm using it for a show which would never be liked in the first place here. If this was a got thread we would not have a thread like this right now. Shitposting is a common thing, to try and filter it in the way I have CAN work, but has no real chance with something like JtV.
>>
>>70769459
>Why are you not watching this?
Because I've never fucking heard of it until this thread and you sound like an obnoxious cunt so I'd rather avoid watching it just to spite you, regardless of any merit the show might have.

There's your hard mode you son of a bitch.

Certainly that's common here, but what you did was call it forth.
>And do you realize why it's defensive the way I did it?
Because you're defensive about this show for some reason.
>Because I'm using it for a show which would never be liked in the first place here.
I don't know what could have happened to you. You're here. You like the show. Why are stamping your feet about all the people you expect not to like it?
>If this was a got thread we would not have a thread like this right now.
I assure you if you wrote a passive aggressive OP like yours about got there'd be lots of negative comments directed at the show and at your person. Or you'd just get a couple "go back to your general" and the thread would 404 in 20 mins.
>to try and filter it in the way I have CAN work
No, it can't. The only filter you have is the one in your perception. Can you ignore the demons nipping at your ankles and discuss a show you enjoy with others that enjoy it?

Well then it's obviously my mistake. I've seen this sort of thread type work before, I guess a show like this has no hope regardless.
I don't know what could have happened to you. >You're here. You like the show. Why are stamping your feet about all the people you expect not to like it?
Where exactly have I stamped my feet? People seem to think that reasoning with others = getting mad and overly defensive.
The only hints of aggression in my posts are those directed at shitposters. I see no issue in responding in an equally immature way to them, but I suppose the problem is that it makes you look overly defensive.
At the end of the day I attempted something here and it failed utterly and completely. Someone said I understood this board's culture. Perhaps if I really did I could have had a chance at having at least SOME sort of meaningful discussion.
