To be clear, you can do this and still give objective criticism to new content. But the channels that hate Outlaw or new Disney just because of bandwagon - it is so old and lacks any nuance. Then proceed to attack channels who are just enjoying the content? Seems like jealously more than anything else.

@@holoemiter I agree. A channel may criticize AND praise as warranted. If you find it, share objective analysis from Katarn with me. Happy hunting. Hence, my point in the video.

I read a similar comment for my critique of the Galactic Starcruiser. How’d it turn out? Thank you for your comment.

@@galacticinitiative7979 The meta-review of a channel's review is what makes it toxic. Why tear someone down just because you disagree with them? You can review the content objectively and state where you disagree. But I never get the new culture of making memes out of people, showing pictures of KK shitting down "Disney Shills" throats, and the like. If you don't like the content, fair enough, Making this crazy cringe cult where everyone who makes positive content about new Star Wars is a "Shill" and putting KK head on these hate memes, is super odd , offputting, and does not help validate your (or anyone's opinion, for that matter) Why do you think it is the most liked comment on your video?

[@user-jm8bj1hd3d]

and why the heck do you care what they like just because you disagree esp since you openly admitted they arent profiting or selling you a thing? they gave you an opinion, they know youre just going to argue with them, so they shut you down and move on before the argument becomes personally. im sure youd love to escalate the argument but to what end? neither side will agree and it could just lead to a fight (physical or verbal). you should learn from those fans. namely, if you gave your opinions of hating the new Disney SW stuff first and you meet fans who love everything Disney SW, just shut down the conversation, and walk away. those are clearly not the type of people you want to associate with and im sure the feeling is mutual. thats called mutual respect. the same way youre disgusted by their opinions are the same way they feel about your opinions so both sides should respectfully walk away and NOT care about either side. seems simple to me. so are you concerned with what they enjoy if they dont profit from it again?
