The thing is I love media criticism, it’s like half the reason to consume media. But he didn’t criticize media, he skimmed over it and mocked people he deemed inferior for enjoying it. There was no discussion to be had, because he wasn’t interested in anyone’s opinion but his own (and half the time hadn’t even seen the shit he was blathering about).
And that’s whatever, just skip it and engage with people capable of conversation. Except he posted 100-200 comments per day (by my count at the time and if I remember correctly, not gonna check right now), so you couldn’t go into any thread without it being derailed by his massive ego.
And if you offered even the tiniest hint of crit about his behavior, no matter how polite, you were a forever enemy who would be harassed in any thread he saw you in. Thankfully the block feature easily solved that problem. Those of us bothered by the toxicity could quietly block, and he could exist in his perfect bubble of people who tolerated or enjoyed the spectacle.
