Caræsten 🇵🇸 @cara.city · 28/07/2026we are absolutely missing a critical culture right now, it's been subsumed by fandom, and reading a knowledgeable, high brow critique of a film like Emily Wilson wrote is just so *refreshing* 5977
it's she ghoulcab @coolcab.bsky.social · 28/07/2026the absolute most fandom thing about it is we have apparently lost our ability to think a review is good while still disagreeing with it, and then one step further, think a review is bad without attacking the reviewer. these abilities have atrophied in a frankly terrifying way 1616
it's she ghoulcab @coolcab.bsky.social · 28/07/2026some of my favorite reviews i totally disagreed with, some "bad" reviews are sublime because they present a totally foreign perspective. do i expect a classicist to like a blockbuster adaptation of their subject matter, of course not? it would still be interesting on that merit 0201
