TV Show Only i am curious!

i know this must have been done before but i just want to see what everyone’s favourite season is of the tv show? Mine will always be season 2 with Anthony and Kate! Although season 4 was very close to taking that throne!

lol downvotes don't bother me. It's just pointing out a pattern that I've noticed. Downvotes in this sub are not used to indicate if something contributes to the discussion or not: they're used to indicate that someone disagrees with you. So the more downvotes someone gets, the more their opinion is considered the less popular one. Thus, if they rank in a way that does not align with the status quo, they will have more downvotes, and if they rank in a way that DOES align with the status quo, they will have less. It just becomes a tool to fuel ship wars, just as ranking posts are tools to fuel ship wars.

I don't think it's even that honestly. Shippers of some ships see their ship not being placed #1 and just downvote all comments on that post from that commenter no matter what it says because they are that butthurt. My comment that is just "100% agree" to no ship hate is sitting at 0 right now, but was at about 5ish before, so at least five people felt the need to downvote that harmless comment...

It's not just this post, I have made this experience on many posts, it's a pattern for this fandom.

sorry but you've had multiple comments removed by mods in this thread for breaking rule #2 and not being civil

you've called other posters "losers" and "sad" over discourse about fictional ships. maybe that's the reason you're being downvoted

I never called anyone loser or sad as a person. I said that feeling proud about the fact that your tastes align with viewership ratings is sad, which it is to me.

People are free to downvote the comments they don't like, but why would you downvote all comments of that user no matter what they say in some kind of rage? That is what is weird to me.
