putting a hate post of a show in the show's tag is truly loser behaviour lmao

Here it is. Did someone predict this? Let's reply because this is an important topic.

Hi, anonymous (ofc) person! How's life? Let me break this down for easier digestion:

1st. I do get it. It stings when someone criticises smt you love (been there!). But the responsibility for that feeling lies with the person feeling it, not the reviewer. So, work it out.

2nd. I have enough respect for the BL genre to consider it a form of art. It worries me when you assume that an opinion that is not meant to glorify something must be hateful. If that were true, any critic (of cinema, theatre, food, music…) would be hateful, and that's absurd. Most things in life are grey - good sides, sides that could use some improvement. Criticism isn't hate, it's how art grows. Could you imagine if actors, directors, writers etc. never reflected critically on their own performance? Everything would stagnate. You are confusing fandom with art. You can be a fan of any kind of art, but art itself is not a fan club. @carterkbooks on Instagram explained it much better than I ever could, if you are curious.

3rd. I don't care if you like the show - enjoy it. Truly. I didn't make any comment on ppl who like it either. You are not obligated to have an opinion (or a critical one) about everything you watch (I don't). But that doesn't mean that someone who does is hateful.

4th. Here's a plot twist (this one might blow your mind, so sit down for it). You can love something and still be able to tell its flaws. The opposite of love isn't criticism. Indifference, perhaps. So, you can even be a fan and still be critical abt it, if you wish. Or who knows, even seeing why someone else might not like it, using the rare magic of empathy and cognitive flexibility. Crazy, I know.

5th. "in the show's tag"? xD Anonymous popcorn, where else would it go? Under Romeo and Juliette? hahaha That actually made me laugh, thank you.

To sum it up bc this is getting way too long: life fortunately is not made of unicorn farts. There will be people disagreeing with you and not liking the same things as you, and that's normal (not hateful).

Stay healthy!
