...does one really need to explain that one's thoughts about a work of fiction are, y'know, one's own opinion on it? Like, I've never been able to wrap my head around people who are super-concerned about other people's opinions of what they like. I'll go to bat in an instant for stuff that I feel is legitimately good and I see as getting a bad rap, but at the end of the day I don't give a shit what they say. Have a bit of self-assurance.
