Well, you didn't come down on anyone, did you? There's a difference between saying, "you're stupid for liking this" and saying, "this is stupid". And I think we're entitled to say, "this is stupid" just as often as people say, "this is good". What makes me sad is when someone agrees with me and then they can't enjoy it any more. What's stupid is when someone DOESN'T agree with me and just can't stand to hear anything bad about something they like, and *that's* what ruins their enjoyment, not actually thinking about it and realizing, hey, yeah, there are problems. I don't know what to do about the former issue, though. There are those who are like, "hey, yeah, you're right; there are problems, but I still like it anyway." That's best because I feel like we can discuss without someone having one less thing they enjoy, but it's definitely true for me that some stuff I did NOT realize was problematic I like a lot less now, and it sort of hurts to think about those things, because they meant so much to me. This is SO long and rambley.
