wish more people would acknowledge that you can like and defend something while also understanding that it has flaws and wishing it were better
not fully happy with how many people i see acting like "liking and defending something" = "believing it is flawless and immune to criticism"
also not fully happy with how many people i see acting like "if something is imperfect or bad, it must be due to active malicious intent rather than people and/or circumstances being imperfect"
is this post about <insert LITERALLY every [website/piece of media] i like>? who knows :3
do i err perhaps too strongly on the side of "optimism" and "positivity"? yeah probably. but focusing on the negative aspects of stuff is just... so exhausting and has historically been extremely harmful to my mental health.
i'd rather focus on the positive stuff. the stuff that makes me think "this is why it's worth it to keep pushing forward and do even better next time".
