    Because looking back fondly on past experiences or items is the very definition of nostalgia? That might be why?

    The problem is that when you let that nostalgia blind you to valid criticisms of what you are fondly remembering that it becomes a bad thing.

    EDIT: in fact let me give an example, I loved the US run of Voltron: Defender of the Universe , I look back on watching it as a kid very fondly and have great memories of it. I watched it again as an adult... It is by all objective metric god-freaking-awful. Animation, voice acting, script, all of it wretched. However this has not changed my nostalgic feeling for the show. I still live it I'm just now cognizant of it flaws, and won't try to explain away or excuse them in the face of criticism
