      Hell yeah, appreciating criticism is not (IMO) primarily abt finding critics you agree with but finding critics who stimulate yr thinking, deepen yr appreciation and get you to think about works or art forms in new ways, even if the way there lies thru disagreement and anger. 😎https://twitter.com/jamescamien/status/1321213767443775488 …

      It's not that I disagree with Fantano's assessments - generally, I don't - or that I agree with the others' - one of Petit's made me so mad I wrote an academic paper on it. (3/)

      Carolyn Petit Retweeted James Camien

      I admit I haven't followed Yahtzee's work in a long time but a crucial element of good critics to me is that from their love of a medium and their personal convictions can come intense dislike of individual works. (Pauline Kael is the gold standard here.)https://twitter.com/jamescamien/status/1321215790734020615?s=20 …

      Carolyn Petit added,

      James Camien @jamescamien
      ...rather, it seems he looks at every game as if for the first time, as if he's always begging to have his words taken away from him - but is constantly disappointed. So he hates everything, but like... from an excess of love, not from cynicism. (9/)

          Some readers will at times respond to work by critics with statements like "You obviously just don't like games/movies/whatever," when in fact the critic's writing comes from a deep love of the medium, albeit in a perspective that those readers are unaccustomed to.

          Yeah totally understand why someone would want nothing to do with him: there's no need or excuse for the lazy and offensive humour. But somehow I keep coming back to him, and I think this is precisely why.

          You may have already seen this but here's a piece I wrote late last year about some of my hopes for criticism's future that references Kael's work:https://medium.com/@carolynpetit/ruthless-individuality-criticisms-past-and-hopefully-its-future-d1ffbf3bb2c8 …

          OH! btw! All this talk of hating games because you love the medium reminds of this Marianne Moore's poem 'Poetry.' I, too, dislike it. Reading it, however, with a perfect contempt for it, one discovers in it, after all, a place for the genuine.http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/poem/2009/06/marianne_moores_poetry.html …
