I've had friends argue things like that to me before. "Well a lot of people like it so shut up." A lot of people really don't understand that criticisms of media are not personal attacks against people who like that media. The media I like most is also the media I criticize the most, because it's the media that interests me enough to even care to discuss it. When I play something I don't like I'm just like "that kinda sucked" and move on.

It's very hard for me to understand the mindset so many people are in where if they like something it's part of their personality and that must mean it's perfect and beyond criticism.
