Sometimes "well then make your fucking own" is a relevant comment

Sometimes I feel like people on the internet have forgotten that not nearly all criticism is founded, relevant or useful.

Sometimes, criticism is just... "this thing doesn't live up to the thing in my head and that's somehow your fault".

[+1 so much. and as far as i can tell, criticism of the 'this doesn't live up to the thing in my head' type isn't inherently valueless, but it gets elevated beyond itself by various factors that make it appealing but don't actually make it founded, relevant or useful. and '...that's somehow your fault' is definitely one of those factors, especially when/where outrage is currency ]
