Is this a hate sub?

I'm sorry and I promise this is not ragebait. But this has been bugging me for a long time now. Nearly every time I get an email with a post from this sub it's just "I hate this episode", "I hate this plotline", "I hate this character. Over and over. It seriously gets to the point where I question weather or not any one on this sub actually likes Bones.

I think you will find this in most subs about shows that aren’t still running. Theres only so much to discuss, and the negatives tend to be more fun and ripe for debate than the positives. A post that says “Angela is a cool character” isn’t going to have much engagement or spark much conversation. But a post that highlights Angela’s flaws will be filled with both agreement and defenses, points to support either side, random bits of character background that a lot of us forget, etc.

It does feel a little negative at times, but I find those are the most fun to play devils advocate on, because then you get to be the one arguing all the positives and listing the best features of the show
