Note how he did n’t call the online critic fans .

That ’s a relatively common tactic used to dismiss concerns or criticism about facial expression of your work when they ’re not well received , saying that the people who do n’t care it are n’t really part of the club . DC managing director Zack Snyder has used it when it comes to reception of his more critically panned movies , like Dawn of Justice , saying he ’s making the movies “ for the lover . ” The only problem is , when you put fandom outdoors of criticism , you create a bubble that prevents legitimate voices from helping your work grow . Plus , consult your friends , who might be in the same socio - economical angle bracket as you , is n’t the salutary way to gauge how well you ’re doing .

“ The internet is oft sort of a one - way thing aright now . I am not a big societal medium guy cable so I do n’t screw . We ’ll see , we really just hope to win them over because they wish the movie , ” Arad said .

Well , you might want to start by not insulting them .
