Ah well. All fandoms have people like that. Sill, compared to Pokemon fandom, people are being remarkably chill.
Things that are not appropriate criticisms: -The way an author talks outside the fic (i.e. "bromance is an obnoxious word"). That's none of your business. Period. -Straight up insults. "Ugh" is not remotely constructive. "This is idiotic" is not constructive either.
I didn't say "Ugh, this is idiotic." Both were next to something that was deserving of being referred to with ugh and idiotic respectively, and so both were constructive. Also, the latter was referring to actions the characters were undertaking. It's not like I'd hesitate to just call the author an idiot if that's what I wanted to do.
They accurately reflect how much I objected to the author's terrible decisions.

I'm curious as to what you think of this, though.
