91. Within reason, no one should criticize another's entertainment choices

Obvioiusly if that entertainment involves real violent acts, abuse, etc it's wrong but if someone wants to watch the Kardashians or Harry and Meghan or Star Trek who cares?
Perhaps the OP should provide a list of shows they watch so we can make fun of them too.
