that's not unique to lemmy. the flood of "i actually never liked them" whenever bad shit comes out about a public figure is usually deafening.
Fair point, I've also experienced that elsewhere. When really it's okay to have enjoyed it, but be aware now on purchasing new items.
i think for many people, their own newfound ick for a person who has turned out to be (for lack of a better word) problematic sours their earlier works. some people then do post hoc rationalisation for that ick ("i never liked them"), and a subset of those people (mostly those with no internality) apply their experience universally ("i never liked them so if you did you're weird") and get real loud about it.
i'm going to continue assuming it's a very small vocal minority. easier to stay sane that way.
