People seem to be very invested of late, increasingly in the past few years, of the concept of things needing to be “perfect” to be praiseworthy.
The number of reviews, posts, etc that are titled something along the lines of “flawed but great!” Or “not perfect but still good!”
It’s impossible for anything to be “perfect”, that doesn’t exist. But people feel like they have to tear things apart and criticize them to the moon and back before they’re allowed to voice their approval.
We’re so stuck in this perfection-culture in which something is either perfect, or it’s horrible and never should have been interacted with to begin with it’s always been awful and disgusting and anyone who likes it is stupid and should- (fun fact! Anything in the former category will eventually be examined deeper and inevitably relabeled as the latter because, again, perfection doesn’t exist!)
