This is true, but I don't understand how anyone could say the art was bad. I just get sort of worked up when someone insults something that I respect so much that it isn't even funny.

Eh, I can, especially if they're the sort to enjoy more simplistic art or very masculine men. And I can understand that; There are things that I get hair-triggery about too (for example, if it even looks like someone's getting dog-piled over a difference of opinion.)

Agreed.

Art Secret Poster Doesn't Personally Happen To Like ≠ Bad Art.

To give a personal example, I don't much care for Tolkein's prose. I wouldn't claim it was bad prose just because it didn't do anything for me. It's not bad prose and The Lord of the Rings is not a bad book just because I personally didn't get on with it. By the same token, I cannot believe anyone with eyes in their head could call Kaori Yuki a bad artist. I can, much as I love her work, understand that her art style isn't going to do it for everybody - but to claim she's a bad artist is frankly ridiculous when she is very obviously nothing of the sort.

And anyone who gets their ideas on Victorian society from Count Cain needs to borrow a clue. No, it's not an accurate portrayal of life in Victorian London, but that's because it's a Gothic fantasy and is therefore not even trying to be a realistic portrayal of Victorian society. What next, slamming Angel Sanctuary because it doesn't accurately reflect the Christian faith?
