I'm making a fucking story, not a theme park ride. Why does the internet have so many of these euphemistic phrases to dissuade criticism or thoughtful analysis?

How good of a critical eye do creators generally have? I'm in the process of writing my own stories, but I also try to critique to see what I can do better, but I often times find that I'm terrible at it or don't see the point in doing it. Does a creator need a good critical eye?

What the fuck even are these statements? Are people this shit at any actual literacy regarding writing?

>"Just turn your brain off and enjoy it."
>"Why does it have to take itself so seriously?"
>"Just have fun."
>"It's entertaining so it's good."
>"It's just entertainment."

These are all retarded thought terminating cliches pushed by capeshit fans or writers that know their work isn't going to stand up to basic scrutiny. I hate all of them and they've lead to the death of good writing in general

>"Just turn off your brain and enjoy it."
>"it ain't that serious."
>"Why does it have to take itself seriously all the time."
>"Just have fun."
As a writer myself, nothing pisses me off more than these four phrases and they've lead to the death of good writing in general.
