Or as Thumper from Bambi says it:
I feel like in some contexts, I agree with it.
I think when someone says something rude about another person (e.g. insulting how someone's face looks like, even though they are born with that face), then that someone often gets that sentence as a response.
But in contexts like talking about movies, books, music etc... then it kinda doesn't work.
Even though some artists can't handle criticism, but that is their problem. (especially thinking about authors who attack people who write bad reviews on their books)
And as someone, who draws and also writes short stories, poems and fanfics, there are times when I want to hear some constructive criticism and not just "Well... it's nice" (even though there are times when I'm a bit scared of hearing someone saying bad things about my art)
Like constructive criticism can make someone improve as an artist.
Even though I feel like when I don't like someone's art, there are times when I try to be nice about it. Like saying "This isn't my cup of tea" (especially if I feel in a "some people might like this, but I don't" kind of way)
And well... there are times when I have watched a movie or listened to a song, and been thinking "Well... I liked some parts of it"
And I might feel a bit defensive, if someone doesn't like a kpop song that I like. (a habit that I need to stop with.)
Okay, I admit that the thread was kinda inspired by a video essay about certain types of movies and that person mentions how he used to dislike that Thumper quote.
And well... this thread might be a bit too similar to some other threads that I have made...
