That sounds like a line from Red Alert 4.

Because it sounds like a bullshit rationalization. It's akin to eating sushi for the first time and not liking it, then wondering what all the fuss is about.

Yes, but an adult would try it 10 times and see if it grows on them. Studies have shown that some foods are an acquired taste and you need to try it about 10-15 times to appreciate it. A child would be like, "Ew sushi. I'm not eating sushi ever again."

Your excuse is totally rational and not racist at all, so I find the responses to it mildly amusing, whther they are joking or being serious. You never know here, haha.
"YOU DON'T LIKE THE CHINESE LANGUAGE??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!" - haha

idk, the Korean casters have always been able to make me excited when watching stuff without speaking a language I understand. They are just so emotional and into it.
edit: So maybe it's just the way those casters in particular speak rather than Chinese

TBH the real travesty isn't how people are too lazy to watch Chinese LoL.
The REAL travesty is that Riot's own interest/involvement in the scene is so little that they couldn't even be bothered to write factually correct preview articles, to say nothing of analysis or predictions.

People will be lazy. If you want to be a srs outlet, you do have to silver platter things until the following is overwhelming. It's how I see it too.

Well if you don't want to eat something you shouldnt eat it?I don't really understand why I need to appreciate a particular type.All I say is "I don't like it" not "It is shit".
Very surprised why this doesn't seem like a good reason to people lol.

Yes, but food has other properties than being enjoyable, for example being healthy/unhealthy, in which case it makes perfect sense to force some foods down your throat. But in case of LoL, the only important aspect is enjoyment, in which case I'd say it's fine to guesstimate that you won't aquire taste for a particular LoL stream and give up on it. You probably wouldn't tell someone who doesn't like Destiny after watching him once to watch him 10 times because he might be aquired taste :p
like seriously don't jump on Nafta's di throat just because he doesn't like chinese streams that you feel are superior.

The Josh Augustine primer piece that praises OMG's teamfighting (lol), Spellsy's Royal primer piece that, while spot on with the analysis, repeatedly gets facts wrong about the team and their history, and the video that they put up that's just hilariously useless.
EDIT: Not to mention the commentators during the event repeatedly spouting incorrect nonsense about Chinese LoL. Though I have to give props to Kobe for being the commentator who most obviously went out of his way to actually educate himself about how OMG plays.

oh you guys.
You don't like the Chinese cast? - Heretic, enemy of humanity, clearly have issues againts things that are different from the standard.
You don't like people who have different taste, when it comes to a purely subjective matter? - Way to go! Don't forget to remind them how racist they are, and how they can't accept things that are a little different!

That is not racist at all. I find the Chinese language annoying to listen to as well.
There's a big difference between saying "Chinese is a shit language and stupid"(which is racist, although even then not really, you're just hating a language lol) and "I find it annoying".

Studies have shown that some foods are an acquired taste and you need to try it about 10-15 times to appreciate it. A child would be like, "Ew sushi. I'm not eating sushi ever again." Well if you don't want to eat something you shouldnt eat it?I don't really understand why I need to appreciate a particular type.All I say is "I don't like it" not "It is shit". Very surprised why this doesn't seem like a good reason to people lol.
A mature person looks for reasons behind why they like or dislike something. The reason the first guy gave was very suspect. I've never heard someone say they think Chinese sounded bad, because it was "tonal".

Sushi is expensive. If I didn't like it the first 1-2 times I wouldn't pay for it 10 more times, that's for sure.
No one is obligated to follow every scene, wtf. If he didn't like LPL he doesn't have to watch it, even because of reasons other people think are stupid.
I can't believe this is even an argument.

So I can't say i can't stand XY language, if I can't stand XY language? Do I really have to point out why? What if I don't even know, maybe it's just annoying to me, or something?
