passive-aggressive swipe at a broad group of people well enough that any attempt to pin down specifically who you're shitting on is easily deniable on your part,

Lmao GURL. Hmm, broad swipe? Let's see, I specifically name:

People who are stubbornly ONLY fans of A-listers and will only give A-list characters a chance.
People who are miserably and overly negative (as opposed to people who don't like something, different. Very.)
People who throw out phrases at characters like a net to flatten and simplify without substantial evidence to back it up or address anything contrary suggested at them.

Seriously. I named the phrases, and said it's annoying when people don't really give much behind their opinion on that. I have voiced displeasure at various story turns, treatments of a character, and writing decisions before. There is nothing wrong with not liking something.

But have a little perspective and distance. These are comics. This is a genre. This is an art form, learn to divorce personal taste and preferences with the actual view of composition and structure. Many people don't. This isn't a public sphere where people are speaking of social injustices and those who talk against the status quo or The Man are oppressed and silenced in a similar way. This is about cape comics and superheroes and marketing gimmicks and the whole shebang. There are public spaces (the comic shop I work at) where it is entirely inappropriate to be voicing rage over how crappy (and it is, imo) Brightest Day is when young kids are thumbing through it and having fun. It's called tact, and the rhetoric is just memetic and a bore. It's too much to ask for actual reasonable dialog about this stuff, though, I guess, and about voicing any sort of displeasure.

Now, it being broad, of course you had to project your oppressed fan insecurities. I admit it, I'm a total meanie jerkpants who hates everyone that doesn't like Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Bendis, and all of our comic overlords. I believe you all should shut up and be pleased with whatever comes out.

I have a more optimistic view on life. For example. one of my favourite characters is Really Really Defensive Fan. I think they've been written terribly lately, though, and I voice my criticism often, but I have faith that they will be written justly :') according to my vision. You are SO shat on for disliking Geoff Johns and all other shitty terrible bad comics put out today!! My god, I just am totally crapping all over, what happened to my bowels?

You know, I always wondered the identity of RRDF... I mean, I noticed you're always taking bathroom breaks and stuff when they're around but...nah. You wear glasses and they don't. Couldn't be.
