I'm beginning to become allergic to "two polar opposites" type theories of anything, but I guess this one makes sense considering a lot of people seem to start out in fandom as youngsters ('fanbrats') who step on a lot of people's toes with their extreme emotional responses to something. Still, most people would be a mix of the two. Like I personally don't meta just for the sake of meta-ing something; there has to be something there for me to think through, semi-analyze, why I like it, why it seems to make sense, why I don't like it, what turns me off about this/that character. A lot of the time, whatever I watch/read just doesn't do that to me, so I suffice to saying I really like it, and write a bit about why I like it but nothing deeper than that.
