The most misunderstood theory on this planet. Period.
This theory was only meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but I guess some people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.
In all seriousness, for someone to understand this theory, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am specifically referring to the philosophical theory that Adorno & Horkheimer invented, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.
If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.
Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.

an breed of no lifes, yet much worse. no lifes just..... do things that are crappy, critics, on the other hand are influencers, and they have no talent what so ever, guess what they do? they act just like haters, point things out to an extent, yet haters just do it for the sake of doing it, critics just try to act SMART and use LONG words to state their opinion and make it into a fact. they will often try to target lesser known people (ex: indie devs) since they don't yet have a big fan base, there fore no one can try to call them out or defend them. these are the main reasons for games
like rain world don't get alot of attention.
