Here's a hot take

You can subjectively like something that's objectively ugly and not all things that look aesthetically bad are some sort of bold new art direction-- sometimes it's just the creator doesn't care if it's ugly and/or has no budget to prevent it from being so. It's not always people being troglodytes who just don't understand this amazing thing but rather it's you needing to cope with your insecurities by trying to devalue their opinion of the thing that doesn't line up with your opinion of the thing.

Instead of saying people are overstepping by calling this thing objectively bad or ugly, you can have some self-confidence and say "it's okay if the thing I like is objectively bad" because you know what? You like it just for being unique or different. And that's okay.

I even will take I like the thing despite the aesthetics being bad

Feels like people here are personally offended I am not ok with the graphics being ugly. It can both be a stylistic choice and people can not like it. It would be like someone getting offended that their favorite furry game isnt being played by people who dont like furry games
