Who do you criticise...

Hello people..!! 😊

Long time no c...(expect for a small mishap in between 😃 )

I was just wondering recently, why do we have a huge mental block against criticism...?

It could be because the word "criticism" itself comes with a negative connotation??

Everybody feels bad when criticised, ideally, we'll put it to good use and change ourself if the criticism is valid or we'll simply chuck it in the thrash can if not valid.

Instead of this, we take it to heart whether valid or invalid and decide to mop around and do nothing!!

We criticise the show, its actors, its characters, its makers because we expect them to take procedure route 1, not 2.

Basically, We expect them to change as per our criticism.

Since criticism itself is complex, slightly off track and we are in conflict zone

(i) criticism on the show

When someone criticises the show, at that point you may be loving the show, so you dont like the criticism, you protest.

(ii)Criticism on the actors

When someone criticises your favourite star for their acting or dress sense (or anything else) , you feel offended , at that time it doesnt matter to us that , the criticism in question could be used to better their acting and dressing sense. We want to save our favourite star from the harsh criticism

(iii)Criticism of the characters

Quite strangely this one point has been the most controversial..when reel-life characters are involved sometimes people dont mind criticising real-life people in defense of these characters.
Thats because there is a deep attachment to these characters.

(iv) Criticism of makers

This is everyone's current favourite passtime. But seriously, what else can be done? At the rate at which the show is going..everybody wants to give a piece of their mind for the creatives. (& I dont mean it in the romantic way --incase somebody misinterprets)

The MJHT forum itself is pretty open about criticism,

** So which category criticism do you do the most?

** Which category criticism affect you the most?

OR Do you believe this world would be a much better place without any criticism😆

Divya😊

PS - Do not over-criticise (read-->bash)

I agree but like for me, I think if someone critizes something about me, like I should get better at editing my vm or something, I take it positively like I would think of it as something to imporve on. So if someone said that I should get better at my writing then I would take it positively and try to improve at that concept.

I think thats the best way to be, criticism on work must be taken positively and we can improve ourselves as well. !! But then again how many of us do that. :)

Interesting topic yet again Divya :)

As for the category in which I fit into, I guess its the category of those critics who are sick and tired of pointing out the GLARING flaws in the show, who have tried EVERY POSSIBLE way to get the makers NOTICE the show's flaws ASSUMING that the makers would take it in the right way and give the show n its characters a proper direction but never getting anywhere with any of it and hence ended up being plain frustrated & vexed up about MJHT n their fave couple to the point that they only vent about MJHT or ROFL at the sheer ridiculousness through criticism rather than critiquing because they expect to improve something.

Lol...I criticize about almost everything in the show....infact like criticizing the show better than the show itself 😆

I am careful however not to criticize the actors of the show as it would get me banned from the phorum😉

Apart from that criticize everything.

And you said that the "ideal" way to take criticism was to better yourself.

But, my dear, we hardly live in an ideal world do we? This is kalyug😆 and as such, no one is actually about to take your criticism positively or your suggestions. Otherwise we would all have been living in Paradise with adam and eve!😆😆😆
