comments like these on this post are really funny to me because yes of course you haven't seen the post i'm referring to. this was an incredibly petty response to a bad take i saw in the tag three days ago while it was still trending that probably didn't get much traction and was very quickly buried by several other posts. honestly, i really only caught it because i was obsessively tracking the tag at the time cuz i have no life, lmao. i'm kinda surprised that this post got as much traction as it did, but i guess these attitudes are pretty universal across this cursed website, god knows there's no shortage of bad faith takes on here 😅
um i'm not going to reply directly to that post because that's a stupid idea so instead i'm making the differently stupid decision of subtweeting it here lmao but
look. no one should be treating hbomberguy as the next coming messiah. he's not that. he's a person, a person who probably has (and probably will!) make mistakes. but saying he has "bad vibes" and "probably will be exposed for something bad" is not a valid criticism and is in fact antithetical to critical thinking, and just makes you sound like a vindictive motherfucker who hates some guy who's popular right now and wants a valid reason to hate him. which is not only unproductive as fuck when it comes to making valid criticisms of his work, but also just straight up makes you an asshole. dressing it up in progressive language doesn't really do anything to hide that fact, alright?
