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 …

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.

This happened for me with the film The VVitch. I loved that movie the first time I saw it. Then, I read a lot of the critiques of the film & gained a whole new appreciation for the film on second viewing. It further changed the way I look at other horror films.
