I liked some of the movies from both series, and I liked the HP books as a kid(probably because it was not hard core fantasy with dragons and dungeons and overly magic use) but yeah they are def not like a+ awesome as some people make em out to be.

Okay, at first I thought you were talking about Michael Buble, but in the second half you're talking about Bubly Sparkling Water?
I'm honestly not meaning to be rude, I'm actually confused as to what "Buble" is?
If you're talking about Bubly sparkling water, it certainly is an acquired taste. It is unsweetened, after all. Unsweetened sparkling water is horribly bitter at first if you're used to drinking sugary drinks like pop. It took me a while to get used to sparkling water, but now it's nearly all I drink.

So there actually is a context for tying together Michael Buble and Bubly in one sentence. Color me surprised!
This is precisely what I mean! I have friends who won't read anything other than YA books and every single time we want to watch a movie together they suggest Harry Potter. Like, they're nice enough movies, but they aren't the only option lol.
Ironically enough I have special interest obsession with some cultural things like these but it's not that I only read 60s debate books or watch one kind of film. But yeah I do agree some younger people I know are like that and it can be kinda annoying.
The only good news is that as they age, I'm sure they'll grow out of that phase.
We can only hope. LOL

Telling people that they are obsessed over something is only done to silence them. It’s one thing if they’re talking about something all the time without talking about something else, but if they rarely talk about something and you’re accusing them of obsessing, that’s wrong. Because it’s only done because you don’t want them talking about it. Everybody has the right to talk about whatever they want. But being stuck thinking about something is a problem too.

I'm the same way, I have a narrow interest pool that consists of some Nintendo franchises, rainbow/peace aesthetic, Star Trek, VWs, and modern history, though I'm not afraid to explore other interests as well.
It just sucks when someone want a to discuss something other than those things and I don't know anything about it so I can't talk about it from an educated POV.

I don't believe that any Christmas songs have negative political/social themes (e.g. White Christmas, Jingle Bells, Baby it's Cold Outside). They're just simple, classic tunes people enjoy. They do not have darker underlining messages. If you see them, you're the one who's putting them there.
And saying Merry Christmas isn't a crime either.

Idk about Harry Potter, but I do agree with this based on the overhype for the rebooted Star Wars trilogy. Those new movies are an insult to the care and thought that the old writers put into the original trilogy.
I've never heard of anyone saying there's anything problematic with the former two songs, but I will say that saying that they're tunes that can't have any negative political/social themes just because they're made to be simple and enjoyable is a bit strange. Being made for fun doesn't mean that they can't be problematic or that they don't still have underlying political/social themes to them - they were still made within the context of their time with the artists that composed them. What people thought was fine in one era could now be understood as problematic as our culture evolves.
Absolutely nothing is made so simple that it exists within a vacuum. Everything - whether trying to or not - is made with tacit assumptions.
Whoever said it was? I worked in retail during the latter half of the Obama years, the supposed time of the most oppressive "political correctness" and my store - a big store chain - plastered "Merry Christmas" on every single aisle in the flipping store.
I've never been told to not say "Merry Christmas". I'd prefer to say Happy Holidays myself because I know that December is a month where many different holidays are celebrated. But... People get so offended by being told Happy Holidays that I just had to learn to not say any seasons greetings. How's that for "political correctness"?

Icicle Mountain and Rumble Falls should return in smash ultimate.
Yeah, and I heavily dislike people censoring old songs that aren't even racist or whatever. They are a product of its time and if you can't enjoy without getting a dark message you are too pc, imo.
And yeah, sure if you know someone with another religion you could just say Happy ___ whatever they celebrate but yeah if you say that and you don't know you can just say sorry, like... bruh.
