Critics, Opinions, and the Fandom Menace

No, I’m not talking about the “amorphous collection of right-wing trolls, reactionaries, and grifters that target popular media, mainly those associated with nerd/geek subcultures^“1

I’m talking about… well really, everyone else. We all have opinions. I’ll even go as far as to say we’re all entitled to them. But if there’s one thing the reactions to Captain America: Brave New World have shown us, it’s that we maybe aren’t so good at expressing them.
