new tag for reactions to poorly written arcs or ending

Posted under Tags

BUR #56758 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

mass update id:11020859 -> reaction_to_bad_writing
create alias bad_ending_reaction -> reaction_to_bad_writing

post #11020859 got me thinking, with the latest reaction to the CSM ending that resulted in thank you chainsaw man (meme), that we need a tag for art drawn in reaction to dogshit endings or arcs. Boku No Hero Academia, Shingeki No Kyojin and Jujutsu Kaisen had similar reactions, so there could be more posts of this hidden away.

It also makes me think of the old "bravo kojimbo" memes for Metal Gear ass-pulls.

Need suggestions for the name of tag, and help populating it because posts like these are impossible to find.

(I don't want to mass update thank you chainsaw man (meme) to this tag because it'd just overload it and at this point it's its own meme.)

Go find a large amout of examples of those first then and come up with a tag(s) in a different topic. The scope of this tag is about reacting to writing and more particularly bad (ending) writing; obviously the intent here is going to be that it's specific. It doesn't make sense to fold all kinds of criticism into one tag and then come up with its subdivisions, that's working at the problem backwards. Once and if there are multiple kinds of creative criticism tags then one general tag to find all of them in one convenient place could be considered.

i'm not interested enough to do that, but why do i have to find a "large amount of examples" to propose such general tag? this BUR intends to create a tag from a single example post. why couldn't that be the single example needed to make an artist reacts to tag?

Writing criticism could work as either the main tag or an alias.
It could also be a broader criticism tag that includes nitpicking character design and things outisde writing, but that's outside of the scope of the tag proposed.

I think media criticism could work really well. Would be broad enough to encompass all forms and aspects of media, like post #3495107.
Just criticism would be too broad and could range from one character criticizing another or the artist's criticism against current societal standards, all of which would fit better under their own tag if there's enough interest.

I think post #3495107 should get its own tag too, but what I had in mind was for reactions to the writing rather than the artistic design. It's a niche concept that would be overtaken by any tag dedicated to people reacting to bad designs, which would inherently be far more popular/prevalent imo.

Feel free to propose renames to this tag in the meanwhile, or utility aliases.
