@BalrogDeMorgoth I can't believe how you can ever bend realit so much just to find a way for your argument to be right. Listen popularity and money income is literally the most subjective aspect of them all.
Popularity is tied to marketing, hype generation and it's a vicious cycle, the most popular something gets the more people will find validation and the more biased in favor of a product will they become. It's extremely subjective all by itself, more importantly. IT's something that CANNOT be judged though objective means unless there's quality involved in the process.
"otherwise most people agree on it and the vast majority of people clearly don't agree with."
Congratulations on falling in the most disgusting falacy in existence.
No, number of people agreeing on something does not make anything true or even objective. A sucessful product does not prove the quality of the same product, because again, people's perception can be manipulated. As a matter of fact the music industry does just that. They literally brainwash people into liking certain musical genre's by increasing the contact a person will have with a certain song. Ever wonder why a song becomes a hit over night and it instantly shows up in every movie, series, radio or tv shows of a certain time period. DO you really think it's because a music is good?
WHy do you think many of these hits die as fast as they became famous?
'S-s-s-so long as they follow these precepts !!!' Every great writer in history : Lol, fuck the convention.
Yeah, let us ignore convention, it is doing the comic book market such a favor isn't it? Comic books have never been better ever since they started ignoring convention.
Listen quality is not and will never be subjective. There are reasons why products are successful, and others are not. If quality were subjective then Berserk could be considered the worst manga ever(it will never be), Mona Lisa is such an ugly painting...(it is not, you'd have to be utterly blind to think so)
There are objective qualities in any kind of work. In the same way that while beuty is considered subjective, there are people who are so beautiful that everyone agrees on their beauty. Or negative qualities that are so hideous literally no one wants to have(Such as Acne).
The reason why people have so many subjective views on everything is because the vast majority of people don't like going out of their way to take a proper look at things as they are. I'm not exaggerating here, the VA industry is a living proof of that. You have people praising VA work simply because they like the actors, disregarding the fact that directors chose the actors poorly for the characters they will represent. You simply CANNOT dispute, that no matter how good the VA really is, if his voice is too deep he should never be cast to play the part of a child.
I've seen this happen a thousand of times. people talking about subjectiity of quality while defending a clear old woman's voice on a character that is 8 years old, just because they love the voice actress. This does not make quality subjective it makes the viewer extremely biased, and their opinion questionable.
Yes opinions can be wrong, so long as personal perspective itself is wrong. The applications of subjectivity over certain values will ALWAYS be wrong, as it's the same as looking at a blue screen and calling it it red, and then try to defend yourself saying that it's your opinion, it simply doesn't work. You cannot change reality just because you don't like it.
