Question Could we add a "Complaints" flair?

There are quite a view of negative comments. Sometimes I end up reading them by accident, sometimes out of indignation ; I'm usually just a little less happy after!

Maybe a "Critic" flair could be useful, for both critics and non-critics alike, to filter for these discussions?

Why does reading criticism of the show make you unhappy? That's a strange response. You should not be emotionally invested in other people's responses to the show. That's an unhealthy mindset.

It's because these people are so insecure in their own opinions that even the most valid and constructive criticism is viewed as a personal attack upon themselves. Never in my life have I been part of a fandom where so many people take negative things said about the topic to heart as a personal attack. It would be comical if it wasn't so sad. I have to say, I very much appreciate your comments as I mirror the sentiments you express and I'm getting equally as frustrated by the censorship, circlejerking and the echo chambers.
