I'm more a non-fiction TV than a reality show viewer. (TAR is my only cuppa, at this point.)

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm on the side of finding an essential difference between reality and non-fiction tv shows. I'd love to discuss Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs, but I never watch any reality tv.
Really, if I'm going to have to wade through pages of reality tv talk to find the discussions I'm interested in, we might as well put it all back in Natter, because that's what I was doing before.

But, but, but....
I loved seeing what little talk there was of it in with the other reality shows. It made me want to watch the non-fiction shows.

Very much this. I'm not a channel flipper so I really don't see what's out there otherwise.
As for white font, I'm fine with either since I tended to just stay out of the experimental thread until I watched the show in question.

Yeah, I did like having it in there.
Scrolling past reality no eaiser than scrolling through Natter? Really?

Aw, hell. Now I feel guilty.

Scrolling past reality in one thread no easier than scrolling past it in another.
If most people want reality and non-fiction in one thread, then I'm okay with that. I'm not really up in arms about anything.

I find it easy to scroll past reality no matter where I am.

Okay, I think I may have misread your point.
I took you to be saying that scrolling through the reality in the Non-fiction thread to find the shows you want was no easier than scrolling through all of Natter to find the same stuff. That's what I was questioning.
The ease of avoiding reality shows if they're not your bag is another matter.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Well, I think that if, after the nonfic thread runs for a little while, people who want to discuss the more documentary-type shows would like their own thread separate from the reality-type shows, we will be able to accommodate that, or at least a proposal to that effect. I think it's important to leave room for growth and change in these new threads we are in the process of creating, because our tastes might change and new shows might come along and we might want something different, or broader. So if we keep nonfic as-was right now, later, if need arises, we can always propose and vote on a docu-thread.

Good point, SA.
