I think the issue with "the message" is that it comes across as anti-art and rather cynical. If your piece of media has a story and characters, chances are it uses themes at some point. Some themes will be more liberal-orientated, some will lean more conservative. Neither is wrong per se, it's just how they're used.
How about being allowed to kick him and Mauler in the nads 5 times, Im pretty sure they'll get enough donations just from that.
If the art in question was made cynically, do people not have the right to call it out?
Firefly was great because it lasted one season. If the show had continued, it would have been as bad as the movie Serenity.
It would have been the best it could possibly be if it had been a cancelled, never-released pilot, then!
Yep, he's doing another crowdfunding campaign.
Not at all, but sometimes a blue curtain is just a blue curtain. People on either side of the political spectrum are capable of making mountains out of molehills.
Wow, what a bitter ass prick. Can yell about "dem wokies can take muh criticism", but when he makes shit and cannot take criticism he'll gladly blame it on everyone else.
He better not look into online reviews of his books, they're ruthless.
Has any critic ever successfully made anything? Space Cop was unwatchable imo, Stuckmans movie looks dull, I never even considered giving drinkers Jack Ryan fan film thing 30 seconds of my time to see how much it sucked.
Roger Ebert wrote Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. That's about it. Even though I thought that one sucked aside from the title.
Harlan Ellison wrote some critic pieces and he's well regarded as a writer. Hell, James Cameron stole a bunch of his ideas to make Terminator. But Harlan was a writer who did some critic work for a pay check. RLM are too high on their "We're too cool to give a fuck" Gen X bullshit to make anything good so Space Cop had to be shit, though I did find it enjoyable enough as a fun bad movie.
