To the person ( persons) who insist on trying to guilt people into censorship: Shame on you.
Actually, this is the lesson of the day: No art ever is automatically worth of praise just because somebody did it. If that was the case, the museum would be filled with shitty paintings that took hours for some untalented person to do instead of masterpieces from geniuses who might as well have done it in minutes.
First of all, as you said, this is an illegal site and no comment here is meant directly to the author. Harassing people on their official account is for jerks but also only a jerk can think of shame people into shutting their opinions in a free zone like this.
Second of all a most important part. No artist ever is entitled to praise just because something was created. If people couldn't tell what is mediocre from what is good, there would be no point ever to value a masterpiece or give an award for talent.
A person can put all their passion and labor into something and there is a credit to it but guess what? It doesn't make it automatically worth of praise. If that was the case I would be selling my shitty watercolors in a museum. If that was the case, a shitty movie - what by the way also involve a lot of work -- would be winning an oscar.
This story was mediocre, the characters were mediocre and using such a shameful guilt-tactic to censor people opinion is not only wrong but really bad for art in general.
Imagine an world where no bad things could be sad about a product. Imagine that the only opinion on something should follow a script. Actually this kind of archaic mentality exists. This is no different that what China does with their 'only good things should be shown' and thus censor whatever they think is bad. That is the problem with your logic: a world where mediocre things can't be criticized and only good things are allowed to be said out loud.
This is wrong and dangerous.
