At worst, it's just kinda mid. I think a lot people just take too much shit personally because a lot of the haters act like the character of Sheldon is making fun of them personally.

oh yea, there was a sub 2xchromosome, some women thought it was a mysogynistic show based on how they dumbed the female actors overtime.

Oh, that is pretty funny, since it's a sitcom. The only way a character in a sitcom doesn't collect a bunch of braindead stupid choices is getting written out of the show.

I'm one of those guys that loved tbbt. It's just simple comedy, don't take it too seriously, don't take it too personal

I actually don't think it gets enough hate.

I have nothing personal against the premise of some nerd saying things "too smart" for the social context. That's just Frasier and I liked Frasier.

The jokes just weren't funny.

Agreed. It’s not hard to see why people dislike it if they feel a part of the many sub-cultures portrayed. Who should they relate to? Lenard, who runs around after a mostly disinterested Penny, fixing stuff for her in order to get enough holes punched in his good guy card and can’t talk to women? Rajesh, who literally can’t talk when women are present? Old mate sex pest with the Beatles hair cut who we’re pretty much introduced to by him using an RC car to record up Penny's skirt and has the weird relationship with his nasally, constantly screaming mom? AKA Mr don’t leave your drink unattended within an kilometre of me. All of which relocate a spy satellite to spy on naked women? Sheldon is obnoxious, the rest are just straight up trope laden creeps.

I’ve never understood it appealing to the culture it portrays as it seems to be relentlessly mocking it with low hanging stereotypes.

Honestly, if it didn't have a laugh track, it'd be a much better show.

Ironically, Young Sheldon was a better show.

I never considered it but it explains Redditors' deep hatred for the show, lol. It's not like it's the only trash show that's also popular...
