Only tangentially related to this but something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. Sometimes I tweet about not liking things. I’m a critic and I think insightful criticisms are just as important and valuable as insightful celebrations. BUT!

Sometimes people come into my mentions (and likely yours too) just to tell me that they don’t like a thing that I clearly do like. Why? What’s the point of that? It’s just obnoxious IMO, and characteristically different, it seems to me, than just tweeting critiques of a thing.

I think The Goonies is a profoundly bad movie. It’s not out of the question that I would write and tweet something at some point about why I think it’s so bad. But I would never respond to someone’s tweet about how much they love The Goonies with “Actually Goonies sucks lol.”

Obviously there are exceptions—If I think someone is perpetuating oppressive shit by celebrating something for being misogynistic or racist or whatever, I might call them out on it. But I don’t understand the “You like thing, rando? Well, I *don’t* like thing!” tendency.

@fiddlecub says that Eddie Redmayne is terrible in Jupiter Ascending, I will inform him that Eddie Redmayne is, in fact, great in Jupiter Ascending. But we’re friends! I can get away with it!2 replies 0 retweets 9 likesShow this thread -

Ha, sure! In any case, I expect he gave the Wachowskis exactly what they wanted.
