Ummm nobody is not okay with people liking the stuff. You do you and I'll do me, man.
It really feels like the larger problem is rabid fans sweeping in to say "LEAVE AYU ALONE!". If there are some people who feel like she's being lazy, why is that not a legitimate opinion? If some people feel like there is a major drop in production values in her work (which honestly -- there is....), why is that a wrong view to express?
Nobody has ANY problem with people liking the stuff, but it does feel like many of the "lovers" (as opposed to "haters") get pretty riled up by the haters by:
1. Insisting that every single negative comment be explicitly caveated by "OPINION!!!!" even though every post is obviously going to be an opinion
2. Writing long lengthy posts explaining to us why we are wrong in disliking the stuff.
3. Complaining about how it makes them feel unwelcome, even though we say literally NOTHING about their opinions, and they are the ones constantly reminding us why we are such bad fans to criticise stuff that she does.
4. Cherry picking our criticisms -- which are largely of the music videos, and ignoring the near universal praise that the music (on MIJ) has received.
Okay, last post I'm gonna write on this subject. I'm done.
