[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 9519806, member: 28487"] There are a number of issues with criticism, we live in an age where there are many vested interest that was us to be mad, angry and not willing to take things like criticism as an honest opinion or to that it in good faith because if we regard a message, a posting, blog or video as that persons honest assessment we may, if we disagree with it, just dismiss it as some dude on the internet and not engage. They want us engaging, to linger on their platform so they can collect data and drive ads our way. Another issue, is that we live in a society where a lot of money is spent to persuade people to invest in a personal relationship with a brand or personality. I do not believe that is a healthy thing to do because it is one sided and there is an excellent change that the personality or brand owner will let you down. It may something as simple as Dylan going electric or actual criminal behaviour. People are complex and make mistakes and often things we love are flawed and perhaps flawed in ways that we did not realize at the time. I remember watching some old movies and some of the less obvious sexism stood out to me in ways that did not when I first watched them because those elements were more common in society and movies/tv at the time I first watched them. The thing there is not to take those criticisms personally and liking a dated piece of media, does not make one a bad person nor does it imply that one endorses its more problematic aspects.
