part of that is calling out negative behaviours. critique is one thing. but there are too many shitbirds today who think it’s somehow cool and erudite to yuck other people’s yums.
as you said, a lot of the blame for encouraging and normalizing that behaviour goes to grifters, social media, capitalism. but every person gets to make a choice on what kind of person they want to be today and what energy they want to put out.
no, but i am sick of it. we don’t have to be this way.

more ppl need to start choosing the good.
Critique of media is so fun! It’s the clannish obsession with fighting over the objectively “true” instance of a piece of media that’s so tiring.
Though I agree it’s small potatoes, and usually just a proxy for generational or class fielty divisions.
