In case you weren't aware, I'm kind of a dick when it comes to flash reviews. I try to be as critical (not in a necessarily negative sense) and analytical as possible. But when I write some of my reviews that catch the author's eye, they generally reply with "Well, to each his own," or "it's just a matter of taste or opinion." I often get authors who defend their content by citing the number of people who disagree with me. That bugs me. A lot.

"Well, Kupes, it's just a matter of opinion." No shit. You don't need to tell me that my taste in comedy is different than some other fucker's. Now, usually this is in response to "This wasn't engaging/funny/interesting," which, sure, the response is kind of fair for my piece of shit review. But I am enfolding that not much happened. It's not that my taste is shit, because I can get into a lot of kinds of humor, or at least see how it could be found funny, but when I'm watching a flash whose punchline is borderline Family Circus, I have to let them know.
Also, I review based on overall quality, so while I may not enjoy a video, its merits are still to be praised. There are tons of cartoons I've watched that were totally lame and cheesy that I had to commend for quality (Aladdin 3150 is a great example).

"Well, clearly you're a minority, because 27 out of 28 pages disagree with your feelings." I don't give a fuck. There was a particular cartoon I reviewed not too long ago that had 27 or so pages of just 10s, two pages of 9s, and then two more pages of 8 through 0, and while the author didn't pull this line on me, a few of his fans did. The number of people on my side in the review doesn't matter to me, nor does it affect the score. This is still "my opinion," so let me express it. I never leave reviews with low scores without explaining myself (I'm sure I used to, but I haven't in a long time), so these authors don't need to tell me that I am wrong, attack my points ("It's called the style of it LOLZ," "I'm not a professional WTF"), or bring me into it ("Like you could make anything better ZOMFG"). Obviously a lot of them are going to disagree with me, but none of them even consider my suggestions for improvement. One unnamed series' creator seemed to take particular offense to my suggestion, placed himself above me with all his high-scoring cartoons, and stuck with what he was doing. Those same problems still melt my eyes in his cartoons to this day. But they were popular, so of course he doesn't give a shit what I think.

I also must point out to people who bitch about my reviews; a 5 or a 6 isn't s super bad score. Most videos that I don't like at all get a 5 or 6, and yet it's apparently the end of the world. Almost nothing with effort applied to it deserves anything below a 5, unless it's like, gay porn or something (which, come to think of it, I scored The Ultimate Orgy pretty highly).

Also, for those of you who review my cartoons, please treat your reviews the same way I treat mine. I know my cartoons aren't golden nuggets shat from Zeus himself, but I need you to tell me why they were worth a full 0 out of a possible 10. The simple "FUCK YOU, FAGGOT" message body doesn't help me much. I don't know how I'm supposed to improve, and I don't know how to fuck myself.
