Then don't. You can't exactly defend against opinions either.
Feel free to disagree and move on.
You are the one who said 'Of course you have a grudge' right?Thing is, I'd also like to know.
So tell me how you've come to this conclusion. How am I holding a grudge against this character? Because I'm pointing out observations of the story and how this character fits into it?
Yes but the context of my use of 'Bad writing' is subjective. It doesn't make my statement objective just because you think Literary studies is legitimate. That would be taking my comments out of context.No, bad writing is not completely subjective (if it is, it makes literary studies one big hoax).
Why wouldn't my arguments be subjective? Do you really think Rings of Power being badly written is objective fact because I said so?
If you can regard the use of 'bad writing' as potentially being subjective, then I don't see how my use of the terminology is wrong. Especially if I'm using it in a way that's just easier than saying 'Flawed in way that is well below my personal standards and expectations of what Good writing should be'. If I somehow misled you into thinking otherwise then I apologize for the misunderstanding.
