I firmly believe that art is fundamentally subjective. You can of course disagree with someone's opinions, but for the most part, it's very difficult for them to be wrong. Having followed scarlet's rankings and other write-up topics ever since his Batman villains ranking back in 2014 (I think) when I didn't even have an account, he undoubtedly has reasons for his Candyman opinion (which he could write about eloquently and effectively) beyond his established distaste for horror.

I also think there's a major disconnect here in terms of internet writing styles and communication. We already know about what scarlet's chosen to do for his write-ups. Just like scarlet, it doesn't seem like Karo really thinks that someone who likes X movie or genre is wrong; it just feels like it's his style, and has been for as long as I can remember following Gauntlet crew rankings, to focus on movies' flaws - especially in terms of logic - and make his write-ups exaggeratedly negative and judgmental relative to his overall opinion about a given movie. To put it more simply, I would say that, unlike other rankers, neither are 100% serious with their write-ups, but interpreting internet sarcasm and other humor in this context is difficult. It's also got an extra edge in this case, because of their relatively more negative opinions about horror.

Maybe I'm completely off the mark here, who knows. I'm just saying we should respect each others' opinions more, and give them a bit of slack for the difficulty of interpreting tone in this context.
