I just tend to think that a consumer culture that teaches readers to think of writers as friends, writers to think of readers as friends and loyal defenders, and for all of them to think of critics/critical readers as enemies sucks shit

"Everyone has to be nice and be everyone's friend, and if you're not, you're evil and you're hurting me and you have to be stopped and --" does not bode well for anyone just trying to make or talk about making shit
Same thing at work. Everyone has to be friends, and you all need to collaborate. Anyone offering a different opinion is being mean and non-productive. It sucks.
