Ardbert's Party vs the Scions Analysis

[Iscah]

Again, people are allowed to see issues in games, books, movies, etc. and continue to play, read or watch them. I don't remember any requirement that you have to worship something and see no wrong with it to still engage in things related to said something.

I swear it's like people take it as a personal attack when someone else sees flaws with something they enjoy. That doesn't invalidate your own enjoyment and if it does, that's entirely a you problem.

Yes, people are still allowed to read and play things that they don't enjoy, but at the same time, one specific person not enjoying the thing does not mean that the solution ought to be rewriting the thing to cater to the person who doesn't like it.

I don't see it as a personal attack if someone doesn't like a thing that I like. But simply "not liking" a thing is not the same as demanding the thing should be changed to cater to an entirely different flavour of personal taste, at the expense of its appeal to the people who are currently enjoying it.

If you didn't like Harry Potter and persevered with it and it came good in the end, that's great for you (I say that without sarcasm). But you presumably didn't write to JK Rowling saying Book 4 was dreadful and she needs to change the direction of the story to save the series from oblivion. You (again presumably) just read Book 5 and liked it.

But what if you didn't? If you still didn't like Book 5 or 6 or 7, while a large number of other people remained fans, would you say that JK Rowling should have written it so it appeals to you better or just attribute it to your personal taste and move on to something else?
