What is whining ?Criticism differs from whining by a lot.Let me give you an example.Take some of the posts from this thread which will give you an answer.For me example,No offence,We all know that art in HXH is not good.Saying that art is bad can be taken as their opinion if they do it one time/occasionally few times.But posting that repeatedly in all discussion threads irrespective of the topic without any constructive argument behind it is what makes it whining.If I say that certain anime series is bad by using only one word 'Bad' and posting it in almost every threads I saw and almost every time when I come to the said section without any backup argument is what makes that I am whining other than criticising just exactly like how 123fire guy posts in OP section.So is that criticising ?Nope.What exactly is whining?
Because if we get chapter every week and people say that they don't like pretty much the same thing every week, that most certainly isn't going in circles, or whinning. Chapter discussion has a thread every week and every week is a different story. If 10 chapters in a row are empty (not going to say that there is somethig wrong, so I will say 'empty') it's only natural to write of it.
Whining starts when the criticism is being called complains for the sake of complaining, or bashing despite that people write reasons as to why the don't like something. When people say be patient despite something happening million chapters ago. Criticism isn't about what may, or may not happen in million chapters it's about what is happening in due moment. That's especialy troublesome when it comes to chapters with explanations because most of the time there is really no reason to believe that there will be any continuation to an explnation since there is really no pont to leave some parts out when the explanation is related and needed to understand what is going on right now. Then there is the issue of people creating 10 theories to fill holes in "explanation" and basicaly acting like it's a fact despite it being really a stretch of imagination. What the point of making things look etter than they are when it won't change the fact that those things are not as good as you like? Going in circles starts with people ignoring the fact that "complains" are based on something and having problems with complains in general. Some people respond and then it's endless discussion starts. That's why I rarely respond when I see that it will change nothing.
Criticism is what is discussed by people who criticise, people who criticise the criticism and people who actualy try to give a new perspective to certain aspects so that people who criticise could change their opinion upon seeing that maybe they missed something since many people may have problem with remembering 300 chapters. In the process we get many posts with criticism and it actualy make it took like there more criticism that there actualy is. I mean who will comment on the fact that I, or someone else likes something. That happens only when it comes to some really specific events. Criticism is what creates most of the discussion. Other than that it's mystery which we don't have all that much those days, but we have threads for mystery and theories based on it. Criticism free threads. However criticism is what creates the discussion in many threads.
If people are so annoyed by it than it's not hard to avoid the most criticism heavy threads. There really isn't so many of them, but most of the time those are the most interesting ones.
Sure criticism creates and opens up discussions which are constructive arguments but one-lined sentences which is more of a whining than criticism will do the same?Yes but the output will be different.Would like to expand more on it but I have to gotta go now.
