Honestly disturbing how many of my posts criticizing media get responses along the lines of “well, guess I’m not watching/reading/listening to this now :/”

That is not a healthy way to view media. You all know that, right? It is not healthy to completely brush something off because of criticism from one person, and it’s certainly not healthy to interpret that criticism as saying that something is irredeemable.

When I criticize media, I’m not saying “this is evil and terrible and disgusting and no one should ever like it or enjoy it”. I’m saying “this has some issues, same as anything else, and we should discuss those issues in a healthy and constructive way.” I am telling people to come to their conclusions using the information and opinions I’ve shared combined with their own experiences and opinions on the matter.

God. Stop “cancelling” Animal Crossing or Percy Jackson or whatever and just learn to be critical of the media you consume instead of accepting everything, positive or negative, at face value.
