maybe it's cuz i'm getting older but man I'm getting tired of video essays on 'why x is bad' and then x is either an indie cartoon, a niche cartoon, or someone's completely independent passion project that isn't even remotely mainstream
anyone who gets remotely a bit of attention with their personal projects just gets ripped to shreds because they didn't do Everything Perfectly Immediately
but it sure is wild that every time a new thing comes out the creators just get buried under people telling them how they should write their own thing lolol
i genuinely always remove those kinds of videos from my youtube feed because i simply do not care to hear someone complain about something for 30+ minutes or MORE.
also most of the time it's not even a critique, it's just I DON'T LIKE THIS AND I'M ANGRY SO I GOTTA CONVINCE OTHERS TO BE ANGRY WITH ME BECAUSE HERD MENTALITY
i will never stop blaming these No-Thoughts critiques for why Netbop was so highly "criticized" bc its not like anyone was against it for ethics reasons or "netflix is a shitty company that doesnt pay its teams well enough" it was all 100% "Netflix didnt make this to MY tastes and a 1-for-1 shot remake and spike should be white"
the idea that people have gotten so into this culture of being so bold as to think their absolutely thoughtless, disrespectful, inconsiderate shitting on of things counts as legitimate critique is fucking awful
it also angers me as a person who loves critical views of things bc like
it isnt constructive in any way and it's actually shit criticism
