Hot Take:
You can like a thing and also think it is deeply flawed, pointing out said flaws while still mostly enjoying said thing. Enjoyment and criticism are not mutually exclusive. It’s how we take things that are “good” and make them “better.”
I’m not quite sure whom this is directed at but nobody has said that people shouldn’t or can’t be critical of any media.
This thread was made in response to another (that was rightfully locked) made by somebody who was upset that there were things in the game they didn’t like, mad that it was trying to appeal to people who weren’t him, and doing quite a bit of gatekeeping railing against the “casuals.” The problem wasn’t that he had criticisms, it was that his tone was bitterly dismissive and not constructive.
