>>34083946Absolutely this. So fucking tired of the retardation that leads someone to think criticism means you hate something.
I'm very close to hating the staff at Game Freak but I do not in any way hate Pokémon, only their shitty management of it.
Hate is a strong term in general. There's only a couple things on this entire planet I outright hate and things I'm willing to criticize are not one of them.
If I don't care about it I'm not doing anything with it. I'm not even thinking about it. Why the fuck would I be?
If you're not willing to criticize something, fine but that just means you don't care and should obviously fuck off because the person/game/movie etc. has no need for you.
Anal remora do not make things better. They let them stagnate by not telling them how to better themselves.
This is why, for example, victim blaming is complete nonsense in most cases. Are there people who blame the victim? Sure. But they're just as stupid as the people telling you not to criticize them at all.
If you care about them you shouldn't want them to be victimized again meaning you will criticize them if you think something could have been done differently to prevent it. If someone has all of their shit stolen and then got raped by them lying in wait after removing all of their stuff then making sure they don't leave their door unlocked in the future like they fucking did is the obvious thing to do.
If you're not willing to criticize, you do not care and should stop trying to pick fights with people who demonstrably do.
