A very short animated song and public service announcement saying it is fine to dislike things as long as you are not rude about it.

HN commenters drop it into arguments about taste to say that differing preferences are legitimate.

Announcing guests late for a convention (when the arrangements might not have been finalized until that point) is "a dick move", because some attendees might not like the idea of the guest being there (despite no compulsion to interact with said guest) and find it too late to cancel (on things they voluntarily committed to based on the existing expected content, fully accepting the risk of future change)? No, I think the dick move (in the ▶ this video sense) is raising hue and cry because the opportunity to see another influential person at a convention somehow ruins the rest of the convention for you. And are we seriously arguing that the creator of the thing should be barred from a convention about the thing?

▶ this video Relatedly, if other companies make better, less expensive products then why don't consumers buy them? The customer is always right in matters of taste. Just because you don't like the taste doesn't mean they're wrong about their own situation.

I was unaware there is One True Way™ to do poetry. It's like any other art: sometimes it's just a aesthetically pleasing series of words (or musical notes, or colours, or shapes) with no real deeper meaning, or just because it's funny. And other times it's something aesthetically pleasing intended to provoke thought about some aspect of life such as love, the nature of humanity, or something else – some of these might be deemed "political". Different people like different sort of art, and that's okay. Related: ▶ this video
