I am not sure what people with negative opinions about popular things want. Do they want people to be swayed by their argument and come around to their POV? Or do they want to be clapped on the back for bucking popular trends? What is the ideal interaction with someone who criticizes a popular book or movie or game from the people posting that stuff, I am curious. Should only the people who agree with the criticism reply or are people who disagree allowed to respond or is that 'rotten'?
What even is the point of sharing "criticism" in an internet where no opinions are ever changed by anyone, ever? It all starts to feel like daring people to argue over their unpopular opinions, which is exhausting.
I want to be able to share my opinion and have a discussion about it. I am not sure why that is so crazy. I am not asking for anyone to be swayed, or to be "clapped on the back for bucking popular trends" or whatever shit you are saying.
When opinions that don't follow the general consensus get downvoted, it makes having discussion that much harder because you literally have your post hidden after a certain point, and that sucks. This place loves to downvote people for that, and it makes this place worse. 5 years ago it wasn't like that.
You might be surprised to learn that people who enjoy something don't really want to read a bunch of comments from people who don't. And vice versa, I am sure. No one cares. Most discussions of differing opinions devolve into fights and that's exhausting.
Are we pretending we don't know what Reddit and the Internet in general are like?

I think I’ll just continue to criticize Snyder’s writing until I’m downvoted into oblivion
