Discussion YMMV / ToddInTheShadows

Can we tighten up our definition of Critical Research Failure please? That section is half the page and some of it is pretty silly. For example:

• In his "Shake It Off" review, he calls the bridge rapping when it's actually more of a chant similar to what cheerleaders would use.

...which is not even research related. Others are either "understandable mistakes" (i.e. not Critical ones) or simply matters of interpretation.

"** Whenever talking about Nickelback, he always pronounces the singer's last name as Kroger instead of Kruger like it is supposed to be said. Similarly, he calls "Gangnam Style" Gang-nam style instead of Gong-nam style."

Because what the heck is that supposed to imply? Maybe he just doesn't know how they're "supposed to be" pronounced. I'm pretty sure Todd isn't a racist, and it's not like he's the only person who pronounces the latter "wrong".

Can we please lay the accusations of homophobia to rest?
They've already been handled in a nice, simple, not-bound-to-offend sentence. He treats them no worse than the average song, and besides, you're talking about a guy who explicitly stated he thinks gay-bashers employ Insane Troll Logic.
Not relevant, but wanted to get this off my shoulders: You talk of double standards, yet nobody here's called him misogynistic over his response to "If I Were A Boy." If you weren't actually biased, you'd be tearing into him just as fervently for that as well.

Edited by SoWeAteThem Out eating the neighbors' tax forms, should be back soon.

To the person who cutlisted this: Have you moved them back to the main page? If not, why not? Move them to the right place before you cut this page.
