As a general rule, I feel the same way about musicals as a class of media that the Westboro Baptist Church is convinced God feels about homosexuals.

I am the kind of person that would commit a genocide against musicals if they were something that could feasibly be genocided. If I had access to a genie a year ago I would have used up 33.333% of my wishes to wish them out of the world. You get my point, I think.

I hate musicals. I hate the idea of musicals. I am spiritually invested in hating the shit out of EVERY MUSICAL EVER MADE.

I was able to enjoy the Book of Mormon which I was lucky enough to see on Broadway during the original cast run, but only through the mental gymnastics of convincing myself that it was a some kind of an ANTI-MUSICAL and a giant TAKE-THAT at musicals in general (and in hindsight, I have to admit that as much as it takes the piss out of Mormonism and Africa and religion and belief and political correctness in general, structurally, it is a pretty straight forward musical).

Right now--having never even seen it, only heard it, on repeat, an increasingly embarrassing number of times--I am about as obsessed with the MUSICAL (technically...rap opera?) Hamilton as I have ever been obsessed with any piece of media I have ever consumed. I am totally rapt with its brilliance and its beauty, on so many levels, across so many dimensions.

Can it just be that good that my vendetta against musicals is somehow broken? What the hell (restricted to this particular context) is wrong with me?

Discuss!
maybe you should try enjoying things instead of trying to hate things on concept/genre alone

also why are you posting here all of a sudden

I can understand why you wouldn't like them but what's the purpose in removing all musicals from earth? If you don't enjoy them... well, don't watch them! But there are people who actually enjoy that stuff, and you'd technically be removing someone else's entertainment just because your opinion on it is different.

I adore musicals. I particularly enjoyed Wicked and Cats.
I'm mawk

I'm gutsy and powerful

I'm repurposing this thread into something useful

post your favourite musical numbers

How someone can compare their dislike for a genre to a desire for genocide is beyond me.

Now that I've taken a closer look at the OP, I believe this is about Hamilton and how Max thinks it's good.

I don't know why he needed three paragraphs of "BEIAOFJIOJDAFIOJFJ I HATE MUSICALS!!!!1" for that.

I personally haven't heard of it.

it helps to vastly overestimate how important your own media likes and dislikes are on a global scale + be desperately angry to such an extent that the comparison seems like a good idea

which is why instead, we're going to bury the issue in music

you fags know you can't make me click on those links, right? :P

anyway ftr I have been exposed to every song you just threw at me already. despite any rumors to the contrary, I have in fact been dating a GIRL for the past 10 years so...occasional exposure to the deadly radiation that is musical theater just comes with the territory.

anyway, so let me get this straight, you guys are bizarrely defensive of musicals in the abstract, but have apparently never even heard of the best one ever written or staged, Hamilton, which is also maybe the most popular of all time?

is that about right?

I'll say it again, since you clearly didn't get the message last time.

also are you really so insecure of your masculinity that you have to reassure us that you're dating a lady after being shown good theater? duuuuuuude

Go fucking hide in whatever hole you just crawled out of, you god forsaken creepshow.

Don't insinuate that liking musicals makes you gay and then brag about how you're straight and like "The best one ever" (since it's the one you like) to feel better than everyone.

Get fucking lost, loser.
