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.

Absolutely what I was trying to say re: Karo, and more eloquent, too.

I also think there's a major disconnect here in terms of internet writing styles and communication.

This is certainly often the case when my autistic ass gets involved in conversations like this. I speak incautiously sometimes without realizing what I'm saying might have a negative impact on people. I am bad at communication, and it is very rarely my intention to actually upset anyone.

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.

100% this, I dunno if this was directed to me or not but I agree wholeheartedly. I think this is part of why I've taken a bit more umbrage here than might be "necessary," because again stuff like "I judge people who find this entertaining" sounds like it's saying those who find this stuff entertaining ARE wrong for liking it. It sounds like that was meant as more of a joke than I read it as, in which case, my bad.

Also whee responding to posts entirely backwards is fun
