yOU KNOW WHAT if this actually is just echos of "format trauma" I have from Tumblr, where the "don't tag/crosstag/broadcast your hate" thing was most prominen, I wouldn't be surprised -- I just got done commenting elsewhere that the format of that site, to quote myself, "clings to you like the smell of an old house."
I remember when I started to use Tumblr, I was super delighted to be away from Extremely Critical Nitpicky Content into a space where most meta was positive/gushy in tone and no "taste" was "bad", just different. It makes on a gut level perfect sense to me that that feeling of athropied skills to describe why something doesn't work is because the format didn't really properly allow for it.
Anyway the rest of your comment is also 👌👌, that's just the bit that really... oof. That's just really oof.
