Art is subjective, and it can be off-putting while pissing people off - and those people can slam it negatively or can spend their time carrying it to the top of the mountain all they want. It's not toxicity, it's the simple reality of art. There's no governing body that deems THIS is good and THAT is bad - and all opinions are valid. Some may be better reasoned than others, but that is also for you to determine individually.

I agree with the first paragraph but I question the validity of the opinions of the internet mob. There's little doubt the majority of the 0/10 scores for The Last of Us 2 have not even played the game therefore their opinions are invalid and yet are influencing others. As I said in my last post most people are followers and don't even know what they are condemning on the internet regardless of it being art, politics, electronics, cars, etc.
An automaker could design most objectively beautiful car ever made and I guarantee if a very small handful of people started flooding the internet saying it was ugly that it would spread and influence the masses to the point where this beautiful design would be considered ugly. If you asked the people why it was ugly they would probably not even be able to answer why, it's just that other people think it's ugly so it must be so. It's sad.
