RE: Wasting Time Writing Bad Reviews
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I came to a similar conclusion recently. For many years I "fought" such reviews (mainly from newbies or reviewers I don't like) and criticized them. I mean, not reviews (unless they were badly written), but anime, movies, series. Today I know it's stupid. Since I stopped doing it for the test, I noticed that some of my frustrations disappeared. In this way, we breed bad traits, we learn to react to frustrations/nerves in a bad way and we forget that everyone watches something they want and has the right to their own opinion. Despite changes in worldview, I still think that people abuse this slogan a bit, but it is the truth. Even people who only like to watch SERIOUS series xD sometimes want to see something for fun. And the very question of what we like is such a random thing that depends on our experiences, emotions, requirements... There are much more incomparably more interesting things in the world than whining about such nonsense.
Good text. ;)
True. The comment sections where I expect some decent review about the titles were either filled with spam or useless garble I can't work with. Something like trash MC, wtf harem, the hell with NTR? in some titles that specifically tagged these stories as exactly what they are complaining about as if the plot summary wasn't a dead giveaway. Why do I even bother? probably just curious if my tastes are still alright based on how everyone else reacts but none of this stuff really matters. We just watch what we like and move on our merry way.
I've had two attempts to write an answer, but it doesn't make sense. These would be truisms and repeating what I wrote and you wrote, with a little bit of new content. It's a pity that people only understand the saying (or other similar sayings) "live and let live" only after some time. ;)
