You’re welcome to dislike something, but that doesn’t mean you need to discourage someone else from liking that thing. You can share an opinion without making it sound like it’s a sin against nature to disagree with that opinion.
Then how else am I supposed to feel superior compared to everyone else if I don’t impose my standards on them? I’m just trying to help them. It’s like you want to live in a world where people don’t know they’re loosers. That’s dumb, you’re dumb. /s
Nor did I elect you king of what I’m allowed to enjoy. Go ahead and police people’s thoughts if you insist, but don’t expect to be included by people you willfully offend.
Criticizing things is fine but there is in fact a line where you become the asshole for doing it too hard or in a bad faith way. Or targeting individual people (particularly minors). The PSL thing is a good example because while we can criticize the comedication of it, some of the discourse around it is really misogynistic.
I wasn’t accusing you of it. We aren’t in DMs right now. It was a general statement about something I think is true, that people can use "criticizing things’ as a guise for assholishness and even bigotry. Not saying you’re doing that.
I don’t think assholishness is necessarily a bad thing, it’s value-neutral. I would simply not be bigoted in my critiques, and bigotry is a separate issue entirely that can be addressed directly, and has nothing to do with the “let people enjoy things” poptimism ethos that pervades much of the internet which I think is disgusting. I dont believe anybody has a “right” to not hear criticisms of their favorite things, and mostly people have an issue with it because they’ve made consumption their identity and feel personally attacked by critiques on what they consume. They need to separate their identity from the commodity, not get mad at the messenger.
Let people not like things.

That’s quite literally sounds like a close family member.
I can discourage or encourage whatever I want. I didn’t elect you king of the discourse or agree to your rules

“Discourage” and “disallow” are two different things.
I will, and you can’t exclude me lmao. Deal with it, you have to deal with critiques and disagreements, how terrible for you
Lmao anyone offended because someone criticised their latest marvel slop or videogame deserves to be their head shoved in a toilet.

I literally don’t care about being an asshole, that’s fine. I can criticize whatever I want
You should probably care about things like misogyny and harassing minors lol. Which is what my post was about.
Making up something I’m not doing to get mad about

If intolerant bigots could read that they’d be very upset
Edit: and here they come to out themselves
