    I strongly agree with this. As a reader of criticism of all kinds (film, game, etc.) I've gotten at least as much from reading great critics I disagree with as I have from reading those I agree with. It's part of why I strongly object to "consumer advocacy" notions of game crit.https://twitter.com/rubinsafaya/status/1138823043885817858 …

    Critic peeps (@mattzollerseitz, @szacharek, @thehighsign, @mangiotto, et. al.), is it fair to say the goal of film criticism is not to tell you what to think about a particular movie, but to encourage the reader to broaden *how* they think about movies and, by extension, culture?

        Great criticism should, above all else IMO, enrich and complicate your experience not just with a specific work but with the medium in general. A great review of a specific film can both help me to appreciate that film more deeply, but also to appreciate film itself more deeply.

        So I'm always deeply disheartened by encounters with people who clearly only want criticism to tell them what they want to hear, to reinforce their own existing tastes and beliefs and prejudices, to tell them they're right to be hyped about a particular game or movie or whatever

        That to me runs fundamentally counter to everything criticism should actually be read for, and everything that criticism should set out to do.

        That's something I love about the FemFreq podcasts. Even if we have an overall differing opinion on a piece of media, you help broaden my concepts of it. So thank you!
