He Panned It, Now He Sucks!	comment	So you've found a new review site that's full of Accentuate the Negative and Bile Fascination, and it isn't afraid to point out every flaw, weakness, and obscure little nit-pick that it can about a work. And you love it because it's funny, well-written, comical, and/or biased toward your particular viewpoint. Everything is fine until the reviewer trashes one of your favorite works. There's a tentative state that most of the viewers of these sites exist in — a thin line between thinking the reviewer is the funniest thing on earth and thinking that they're a horrible person who didn't deserve to see the thing, let alone trash it so badly. This exists because, at any moment, the reviewer could find something wrong with one of your personal favorites. All of a sudden the game is up, and you see the reviewer for who they really are — a vile piece of ludicrously insensitive vomit-caked negativity who only exists to blow holes in otherwise good things, a bad writer complaining about others' bad writing. This can be particularly (even excessively) apparent if what the reviewer is criticizing is either (a) incredibly popular and/or (b) possesses an intensely committed fanbase. It's not easy to go against the grain and admit that your tastes are not in step with the majority, especially if that majority consists of people who mistake an attack on their favorite work as an attack on them personally. A sub-trope of Accentuate the Negative. Fairly common when Critical Backlash is involved. This can also happen if a once reviled work has been Vindicated by History, but the reviewer still despises the work regardless. Compare Complaining About People Not Liking the Show, Let's See YOU Do Better!, Opinion Myopia, and It's Not Supposed to Win Oscars. Also compare The Complainer Is Always Wrong. Contrast with the He Panned It, Now It Sucks section of the Hate Dumb article; for a trope actually working like "He Panned It, Now It Sucks", see Reviews Are the Gospel.

While it's possible that Josh had changed his mind on what he thinks of the game at the time of remaking that list, he admits in his Top Ten Games I Want To Like list that some of the reasons he dislikes Super Mario Galaxy 2 are just him being spiteful. That didn't save him from backlash.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_1ab9ad1d	comment	Adam Sessler did a whole segment dealing with the negative reaction when X-Play reviewed Killzone 2, with accusations that Microsoft paid him off in order to not upset the dominance the Halo franchise had and that he was being unfairly negative towards the game. And what was the score he gave to Killzone 2? A perfect 5/5!. According to the comments he read in Sessler's Soapbox, the reason the PS3 fanboys were upset with his were because 1) he wasn't positive enough about the game, 2) he paused at a couple of moments in his review, implying sarcasm, and 3) his intonation wasn't correct. He eventually ended the review of the comments of his review by telling people, in no uncertain terms, to get off their high horses.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_1cc09117	comment	His "Fall of Bleach" video didn't resonate well with Bleach fans despite trying to cover its decline that lead into the abrupt and disappointing finale then outright mockery of the series, with many pointing out his lack of research. While he acknowledged his mistake with a follow up vid that had more accurate facts and constructive criticism, even pointing out his video is just his own opinion on the matter and no one should take it as gospel, some of the more hardcore fanbase of the series still lambasted him for even daring to speak ill of the manga. One of them, DBZimran in particular even made his own videos to counter his arguments (with him even dubbing the second vid as "The Rise of Bleach" for good measure).

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_1f818da5	comment	Like other Channel Awesome-affiliated personalities listed here, Todd in the Shadows has been on the receiving end of this. He predicted that this trope would be invoked when he placed "All the Right Moves" by OneRepublic at #3 in his list of the "Top 6 Worst Songs of 2010 (That [he] Didn't Review)". Todd also got some pretty harsh backlash from frustrated Electronic Music fans after calling the genre "meaningless", "repetitive" and "having no personality to it" in some of his 2013 music reviews. To a lesser extent, he's also gotten torn apart by fans of the Nu Metal genre for calling every band in the genre as "sounding all the same" in his "Smooth Criminal" episode of One Hit Wonderland. He also got flamed to hell and back by Fall Out Boy fans for putting their comeback single "My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark (Light 'Em Up)" in his "Worst Songs of 2013" video (it didn't help that he also called the band members "assholes"). He even referenced this in a few later videos. Some of Todd's non-American viewers seem to be getting increasingly annoyed by his constant portrayal of the Eurovision Song Contest as a bastion of talentlessness. Especially because, half the time, the terrible music is what makes it entertaining. In addition, his scathing criticism of all pre-My Chemical Romance Emo Music, which he labeled as music by whiny and annoying people who sing about first-world problems, was grossly inaccurate and as such prompted plenty of backlash. It didn't help that he used Simple Plan and Hawthorne Heights (two bands that have been huge punching bags even within the Emo community) as examples. What Todd didn't realize is that those are emo-pop bands; proper emo bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Glassjaw, Thrice, Brand New, At the Drive-In, and Thursday sing about a wide range of profound, thought-provoking and often personal topics with great artistry and intellectual depth, and none of them have released a single song about "whining about their moms", as Todd put it. In addition, My Chemical Romance didn't even invent the theatrical, Goth-influenced brand of emo that Todd likes - AFI had been doing the same thing a decade earlier. Todd's obvious ignorance about a highly diverse genre couldn't have not made people angry. No huge backlash as of yet, but while discussing an aesthetic he calls "taking shit too seriously in the 1990s", one of the albums he says has that aesthetic is Jeff Buckley's Grace.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_20211001	comment	Upper Echelon Gamer caught flak for reviewing Doom Eternal and Genshin Impact harshly, to the point of insulting those who defend those two respective titles with legitimate merits (especially how for the former, he seems to be not adjusted with the difficulty and for the latter, there's a very visible bias and clickbait about how it'll "damage the game industry"). His viewership declined, compounded with accusation of him silently shilling AAA game developers.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_21e1640f	comment	JonTron: He caught a good bit of flak with his "Top 10 Overrated Video Games" list, in which he bashed games like Metroid Prime, Left 4 Dead, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the basis that he feels they get too much-undeserved praise.note The last one, in particular, was seen as being hypocritical when it was revealed that Jon's all-time favorite video game is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the highest selling and most critically acclaimed Zelda game even a decade after he made the video. However, it's worth noting that the video has become Creator Backlash, and it has been removed from his main channel (it even once had the description on Normal Boots changed to "This video is now in Hell, where it belongs"), now only viewable via uploads from fans who saved the video. It was removed because of both fan backlash and Jon admitting that his opinions on some of the games have since changed after going back and playing them in a less critical light (this video was even joked about in his Mighty Max review, where the possessed Mighty Max SNES cartridge called out Jon for "making videos [he] is not proud of"). He caught flak from his fans when he stated on Twitter that he felt underwhelmed by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a game that was otherwise receiving rapturous praise from most other gaming outlets and reviewers at the time.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_223c2a48	comment	Slant Magazine have over the years caught flack for giving mid-to-low review scores to games that are otherwise hyped and well liked seemingly for the sake of controversy, which has called their legitimacy as a review outlet into question. Among their more controversial takes including giving 6s and 5s to several hyped and well-liked Nintendo games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, Fire Emblem Engage, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3, slapping Red Dead Redemption 2 with a 7, and giving Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (widely considered one of, if not the best game of 2019) a measly 4, and that's just a few of their hot takes that have given them much scorn from fans. In particular, a few of these controversial review scores (namely for Breath of the Wild, Xenoblade 2, and Sekiro) can be traced back to Jed Pressgrove, who has had a habit of giving mid or outright low review scores for games many others like, among which include Bloodborne (though he didn't review it for Slant, he still named it as one of his personal worst games of 2015 and has frequently criticized the Soulsborne games), Sonic Mania, Octopath Traveler, and Final Fantasy X, with many likening him to the aforementioned Armond White in terms of making opposing views for the sake of controversy.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_23490305	comment	X-Play: Their special presentation: "Your Childhood Sucked: Final Fantasy VII." The sounds of long-time fans gnashing their teeth could be heard across the globe. Though since one of the things it bashes the 1997 game for is its early 3D graphics not being up to par with the modern standards of games made a decade later... there had to be some trolling going on in there. In a non-JRPG example, X-Play gave the massively hyped Resident Evil 5 a 3/5, touching off a massive backlash. They also got tons of backlash from Dragon Ball Z and Fullmetal Alchemist for giving their respective spin-off games low scores. They received flak from Naruto and Bleach fans due to them mispronouncing the names and making fun of the series and characters rather than the games itself, though these games are pretty good. Several years later, they answered an e-mail saying they purposely mock anime fans when they review the games because they love getting the hate mail. They also said they loved the Naruto games even though they weren't fans of the anime itself. Note that this was before the series was even in America. Adam Sessler did a whole segment dealing with the negative reaction when X-Play reviewed Killzone 2, with accusations that Microsoft paid him off in order to not upset the dominance the Halo franchise had and that he was being unfairly negative towards the game. And what was the score he gave to Killzone 2? A perfect 5/5!.

He eventually ended the review of the comments of his review by telling people, in no uncertain terms, to get off their high horses. X-Play seemed to had a deep hatred for Dynasty Warriors. They received a lot of hate when they gave DW5 Empires, widely regarded as being one of the best games in the series, the same score as the black sheep of the series. X-Play had a list of things they wish they could kill, with not just games but mechanics as well. This included 3D Castlevania games, the aforementioned Dynasty Warriors series, and the entire Sonic series.

His 2012 review of Eternal Darkness put him in hot water with the game's fanbase, as he ended it saying that he could not recommend the game, which is considered a Cult Classic on the GameCube. However, at the end of the review, he encouraged his fans to explain to him what he's missing if he isn't 'getting' it, and that he'll make a follow-up video at the end of the year to address all these comments. True to his word, said video was made. Unfortunately for fans, all their tips and corrections arguably lessened his opinion of the game, as he now viewed the game as going from needlessly frustrating to ridiculously easy. He did come to see enough appeal in it to now recommend the game as entry-level horror alternative to titles such as Silent Hill 2, however.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_28724fb2	comment	Alison Gillmor, when writing for the Winnipeg Free Press, gave Titanic (1997) a negative review, and drew so much hate mail that she reported this in a subsequent column, and said something to the effect of "Sorry, I still don't like it". U.S. critic Kenneth Turan (Los Angeles Times) received similar hate mail when he panned the film and stood by that opinion even as the film became a massive hit, admitting in a subsequent piece that its huge success worried him because of the possibility that it would discourage filmmakers/studios from focusing on the quality of stories/screenplays in favor of spectacle. Finally, James Cameron himself chewed him out over it in print, saying that it wasn't his duty as a film critic to discuss a movie's flaws long after the audience had made up its collective mind about it.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_2891585b	comment	Daren Jackson, aka The Rap Critic, was not immune from backlash as seen when he gave a 0 out of 5 to rapper NF's breakout song, "Real". He and Marc Mues got flack for their back-to-back negative reviews of Pusha T's DAYTONA and Death Grips' The Money Store. In the case of the latter, they apologized and explained that they were not familiar with the subgenre and even promised to re-review the album in the future. However, they didn't take back saying that DAYTONA was "boring" and "unfinished". In a rather interesting case, Daren actually heavily defended Eminem's critically panned Revival from both Marc and guest speaker, Kill Bill, even after rating the album higher than BROCKHAMPTON's Saturation III. He actually got more backlash in his review of Eminem's follow-up, Kamikaze, when he said that he would rate the album "lower than Revival".

Their We Love Movies series also helps them avoid this, because they give the same mocking treatment to movies that all of them enjoy.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_309df9ea	comment	Atop the Fourth Wall: It's probably not a coincidence that Linkara's review of Ultimates 3, during which he admitted that he didn't like Loeb's The Long Halloween, has received more bashing than usual. The Frank Miller fanboys got very angry over his review of The Dark Knight Strikes Again. Linkara took major issue with this, especially one message that literally argued Miller did so much great stuff early on that his later work should get a free pass regardless of actual quality. Plus, he didn't exactly inspire a lot of hate for his mockery of Stan Lee's Nightcat. He didn't even pan The Maxx, instead merely admit that he had no idea what was going on (the story is a Mind Screw, and he was reading a one-shot that explained nothing), and had no particular interest in finding out. Nonetheless, The Maxx is a Cult Classic, so you can bet the fans took anything other than praise as an insult. Linkara even addressed this in his "Top 15 Screw-Ups" video. Linkara also invited some of this in the "Next 15 AT4W Screw-Ups" video when he stated his dislike of the X-Men, going on a long tirade about blaming the team for being the in-universe causes of some of his most hated crossover events in Marvel's then-recent history. The backlash prompted him to clarify in his following video reviewing "Youngblood #5" that he was "half-joking" and stated while they're not his most favorite team, he doesn't hate the X-Men and acknowledged that there were plenty of bad storylines that have nothing to do with them and they actually had some great storylines and good characters in its roster. Linkara also said at a con that this is why he didn't review comics by Garth Ennis or Mark Millar, despite the fact that he doesn't really like their work. He did look at a Superman PSA comic the latter wrote, but this was actually a positive review, noting that when Millar's given restraint on his work (as was the case here), he can often find him pretty decent. The only other Mark Millar comic that Linkara reviewed, Trouble, is one that Millar himself has since abandoned. He definitely caught Hell from the fans during his review of Rogue One over the famed Hallway scene. Though for most it wasn't so much the criticism then how he went about it. Normally he's pretty calm and respectful on why certain things didn't agree with him. But his demeanor for the dislike comes off more that he was just sick of people gushing over it, doing the usual "Oh hey this is awesome, no it isn't" shtick he usually does for some of his reviews and his reasons amounting to "Vader isn't as subtle as he is in the original". Many comments against him likening him to an curmudgeon old man waving his fist and doing a rant of "Back in my day...", not helped by him using clips to try and illustrate his point.

Several years later, they answered an e-mail saying they purposely mock anime fans when they review the games because they love getting the hate mail. They also said they loved the Naruto games even though they weren't fans of the anime itself. Note that this was before the series was even in America.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_3b34143f	comment	In 2000, an eminent critic by the name of Harold Bloom wrote an infamous essay decrying Harry Potter as a terrible series read by the Lowest Common Denominator that epitomized the dumbing-down of our culture. Cue a storm of angry letters — but this backlash is justified, because in another essay, he claimed that whenever a character took a walk, J. K. Rowling always used the "cliche"note Note that in literary studies the term "cliche" refers to an overused phrase rather than an overused idea of "stretching their legs", and ranted about how Rowling used this "cliche" so often he began taking notes of the number of times people "stretched their legs" in the first book and finally gave up because it was used so often. Fans looked it up...and found the phrase "stretching his legs" was used a grand total of once in the entire series. In Chapter 1 of Book 1. Which makes this a definite case of Complaining About Books You Don't Read.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_436dff03	comment	Rotten Tomatoes was infamous for this. When various films opened up with very high percentages, the few critics who gave the movie a Rotten score were sure to get a lot of flak, which could range from genuine criticism of the critic's points to outright bashing and threatening. Sometimes, this happened when a critic's blurb got taken out of context, which unintentionally made the reviewer look more pretentious or foolish to readers. This effect got compounded when said bashers collectively wanted to see that movie soon, and/or the critics are chronic offenders of giving low scores (or the inverse case). Even if the overall score settled somewhere down the middle, the first few critics always got the brunt of the insults. It doesn't help that Rotten Tomatoes' method of scoring is flawed since the website merely gives estimate scores from the vastly different scoring systems that critics use. Eventually, it got so bad that Rotten Tomatoes axed all commenting on individual reviews, to no one's surprise. This finally entered the limelight when fans hyped for The Dark Knight Rises savaged the pre-screening rotten reviews, vehemently threatening the reviewers in question and even conspiring to sabotage their review websites. Eventually, the comments were removed (people were adding death threats and rape threats), and it wasn't long before the option to comment on a review was removed altogether. This becomes Harsher in Hindsight after a shooting took place at the movie's midnight screening in Aurora, Colorado. Another reviewer who compared it to Transformers got so much sudden traffic that his website crashed! Top Critic Rafer Guzman is well-known for occasionally giving very, very low scores to films, to the point that even people who don't particularly care for the film in question tend to take notice ("come on, it can't be that bad"). The most well-known instance of this was him giving 0.5/4 to Rango without really stating why he disliked it. In 2012, a Rotten review of The Wizard of Oz popped up, knocking away its 100% Tomatometer. Said review was salvaged from 1939, written by a critic who died in 1943. Everyone was (quite understandably) outraged. Many people are frustrated from reading Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time reviews from many popular and well-known film reviewers. Many fans were pretty angered with the poor reviews given to the highly anticipated film Suicide Squad (2016) so much, that a petition was created to shut down Rotten Tomatoes. However, most fans have not seen the film yet, since this was before its official release.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_43c03b4d	comment	Super Eyepatch Wolf got himself into this, coincidentally involving series from Weekly Shonen Jump: His "Fall of Bleach" video didn't resonate well with Bleach fans despite trying to cover its decline that lead into the abrupt and disappointing finale then outright mockery of the series, with many pointing out his lack of research. While he acknowledged his mistake with a follow up vid that had more accurate facts and constructive criticism, even pointing out his video is just his own opinion on the matter and no one should take it as gospel, some of the more hardcore fanbase of the series still lambasted him for even daring to speak ill of the manga. One of them, DBZimran in particular even made his own videos to counter his arguments (with him even dubbing the second vid as "The Rise of Bleach" for good measure). John's comments on PPPPPP in his 2022 Jump video weren't well received by many of the series fans, both with him mocking the series title as ridiculous (in spite of it being actual piano terminology), and using half of a two-page spread to "prove" his argument of the series having poor artistic composition, both of which came off as disingenuous.

Typical YouTube comment flame wars can be predicted, but he doesn't help his case by using phrases like "[The viewers] look past these flaws" or "[X] was silly and has no place in a movie", leading to an increasing number of cries of snobbishness and seeming to look down on others for not being snobby enough. He has also made unwarranted claims, often lumping movies into the wrong genre like thinking The Hobbit was supposed to be a "popcorn action flick", or trying to contrast films that have drastically different styles and focus like a standard romantic comedy and a serious period piece instead of letting each movie stand on its own.

Sane Trilogy got some flak for some of their complaints, such as outdated gameplay, in a faithful recreation of a 20-year-old series, lack of content (it includes an entire trilogy of games) and difficulty (the originals already were Nintendo Hard, it has nothing to do with the remaster). The best remembered one is the "Crash Bandicoot is the new Dark Souls" fiasco.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_6276800c	comment	CR has increasingly bashed Friendship Is Magic since its second season finale. His cameo in The Nostalgia Critic review of Son of the Mask where he called the show's third season a "shitty abomination" in a cutaway joke received almost the same amount of attention from viewers as the rest of the video itself. After the initial fan backlash, he has become extremely hostile to anyone who enjoyed the third season overall (often to the point of arguing with and belittling those who attempt to defend it) and is largely unwilling to give out official explanations as to why he does so.note As the few reasons he has given have come across as incredibly trivial. Such as "Magic Duel" is "pandering" to fans because of the return of fan favorite character Trixie, Luna entering dreams is "gimmicky" and "nonsensical" and Spitfire acting "out-of-character" in a certain episode. As a result, many of his former fans who got into the franchise due to his prior recommendations have lost a great deal of respect for him. And then there's this, based on a screencap image from the original (misinformed) version of the entry.note The person that CR is blaming is an author over on FIMFiction who has pointed out many of Chad's unreasonable complaints.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_64e53f94	comment	Don East ironically never faced this in his series, Anime Abomination. Rather, he faced this when live-tweeting shows that aired on Toonami. The two shows he was the most critical towards were Sword Art Online and Blue Exorcist. The latter in particular suffered this because he tended to call the series a generic shonen anime, but explaining very little just why it was. It was especially jarring since he praised One Piece and Soul Eater to the high heavens, but some have accused those shows of having more glaring cliches than Blue Exorcist. Most of his complaints towards the series, especially the first portion, were nitpicks at worst (like complaining about the Camping Trip episode allegedly being filler without even sitting through it entirely). He unfairly treated Shiemi as The Scrappy while he tended to gush over similar characters like Orihime. One moment of frustration with the series had him deliberately spoil that Shima was a double agent, which he actually apologized for. One incident, he made an implied threat towards fans of the series if the show got better ratings than One Piece (saying that he hoped for their sake that he didn't meet any of them at a convention he was going to at the time). It's not so much that he panned the series that got under people's skins, but rather his overall attitude towards it. Another odd thing was that when he riffed the first episode, he wasn't as harsh on it as the rest of the series, so it makes you wonder if he wanted to hate the series afterword simply because it got better ratings than One Piece. He also criticized Attack on Titan, but most people let it slide because he was at least fair towards the series.

In the comment section on every video that isn't about a So Bad, It's Good or just plain bad movie, you can expect to see fans of the movie complaining about how the criticisms are unfair, missing the part where the sins being so nitpicky and nonsensical is the joke. The fact he's made videos on so many beloved movies has also earned the channel a major Hatedom. In fairness, Cinema Sins generally doesn't bother hiding their scorn for movies they don't like, and are sometimes visibly harder on them than others.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_68ff28c9	comment	Their initial negative review of Silent Hill 2, on the other hand, was evidently not a joke, and fans went justifiably ballistic because the magazine —for reasons still at large— tapped a reviewer who admitted to both preferring twitch/action games and detesting Survival Horror as a genre. While the logic behind this choice was somewhat sound (i.e. "If this guy likes it, then it must be great!"), assigning the review to a writer with an open bias against games like it also had a very obvious flaw (i.e. "If this guy hates it, that might not mean it's actually terrible."). Their continued potshots at the game and disbelief at its sales numbers in several subsequent issues didn't help in smoothing things over, either. Game Informer would subsequently praise the game in retrospective articles, and unlike many of their other "retro" reviews, they never even bothered to archive it, indicating they want it to remain forgotten.

While it's understandable why he added it on the list since the first game in the series is considered to be terrible, he didn't specify this at the start and most of his points seem to be directed at the series in general. This set Neptunia fans off the wrong way because they thought Rabbidluigi was panning the series as a whole, especially considering that it's often regarded as a Cult Classic due to the vast improvements it received following the first game. He also received a bit of flak for putting Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation on the list with fans claiming that, while the game is a Contested Sequel, it is far from the being among other bad JRPGs like the aforementioned Quest 64 and vanilla FFXIV.

Mark didn't seem phased by it though, even welcoming the anger, and you can check out some "highlights" from the latter's comment section here. He did receive heat for his review of Twenty One Pilots' Vessel. The grade he gave it: 8/10. In the pop world, fans of Lana Del Rey, Melanie Martinez or Fifth Harmony (and by extension, Camila Cabello) didn't exactly take kindly his negative reviews of their favorite albums of all time. Lana Del Rey, in particular, was the subject of two of his most negative reviews in Honeymoon and Ultraviolence, the latter of which is one of his most hated albums he's had to review. A lot of the negative country music reviews have inspired a fair amount of "colorful" comments from angry country music fans. He's noted that such comments often contain a degree of xenophobia, at times claiming that, as a Canadian, he's not qualified to judge and criticize country music (ignoring Canada's own country music traditions). His review of Megadeth's Dystopia didn't go well with fans either, although it probably didn't help that he admitted to not really liking Megadeth at the start of the review, even their earlier albums. In terms of rock reviews, there's a bevy of them but notable examples are Tame Impala's Currents, Wolf Alice's My Love is Cool, Courtney Barnett's Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, alt-J's Relaxer, Nothing but Thieves' Broken Machine, and Young the Giant's Mind Over Matter. Tyler, the Creator's IGOR and Weyes Blood's Titanic Rising, two of the most critically acclaimed albums of 2019...6/10. In the inverse of the trope, he drew backlash for actually defending Chance the Rapper's critically panned debut album, The Big Day, even giving it a 7/10. He admitted in his review of Fear Inoculum that he is not a fan of tool in the slightest — and that, by saying so, he expected to get inundated with dislikes and negative reviews (He was right). A non-album review example: when Mark analyzed and critiqued BTS' sales tactics on an episode of Billboard Breakdown, not only did the ARMY responded with flooding the video with dislikes and comments bashing him (and attempted to hack his social media), but he was a focal point on an article on Forbes accusing critics of undermining their popularity (for which later received an edit after Mark wrote a corrective email to the writer of the article). Mark would end up addressing the backlash at the start of the following episode. He said it was the third-worst backlash he'd ever faced, behind only the Mendes Army's backlash and the time he was physically attacked at a Black Metal concert by a fan of a band he criticized who recognized him. Another non-album review example: Mark drew some backlash when he put "Surface Pressure" at #2 in his Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2022 list, while stating his dislike for Encanto and its music.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_8fd3db0b	comment	SeÃ¡n Ferrick of TrekCulture has been getting some major flak for his criticisms for Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4, in particular Beckett Mariner's sub-plot concerning her promotion and her attitude towards it. By the end of the penultimate episode, "The Inner Fight", which reveals that Mariner's attitude stems from the loss of her friend Sito Jaxa — one of the cadets from "The First Duty"'s Nova Squadron who would die on a spy mission in "Lower Decks" in Star Trek: The Next Generation — and the advent of Dominion War increasing her PTSD from losing friends, he's dismissed it as pandering at best and lore-breaking at worst as he seems to believe Mariner is younger than she should be. Many commenters have pointed out that it seems that SeÃ¡n, and most likely the rest of TrekCulture, want Mariner to have all her problems be a one-and-done thing, which makes the problem a case of Reality Is Unrealistic.

Because of this, fans of TT's LEGO Video Games and The LEGO Movie have given him a hard dose of rage.

But the biggest backlash yet actually came from an op-ed where they basically went full Fan Hater mode on adult Disney fans (in particular childless people who go to the parks), who they perceive as giant man-children who need to grow up. Naturally many didn't take this well, especially feeling their points were hypocritical since they view PokÃ©mon as better because it's...somehow less childish. As well as ignoring the fact that their "you had your childhood" remark came across as incredibly insensitive to those who grew up in poverty or in broken homes and were unable to go to the parks as kids.

For one example, he criticized how difficult it was to aim in the game — after turning off the game's gyro controls, which are the default control scheme and are widely regarded as being more accurate, and equipping a weapon that explicitly sacrifices accuracy for high spread and rate of fire. He also failed to even mention the existence of several entire game modes, including the game's highly praised PvE mode Salmon Run. Not helping things, this video came out on the heels of his infamous "Game Critics" video, in which he criticized game journalists over some of the same mistakes that he was in turn criticized for making in this video. Unlike his normal, "serious" reviews, however, it was noted that the video did not include "dunkview" in the title, leading some to believe that the whole thing was intended as a Stealth Parody.

His FAQ points out that the character wasn't fully formed when he made that video, and therefore he picked up a good game and ripped it a new one as something for himself and his friends out of boredom. He didn't upload the first two episodes until much later. A number of people were outraged at his actions during "Castlevania 64", including his handling of the infamous Nitro puzzle. Unfortunately, he stops the review after being stuck on said puzzle and moves to the other Castlevania Games next episode. A few people were outraged at his review of Milon's Secret Castle. Those people were also probably the only ones who ever played the game. He also got quite a bit of backlash for his Battletoads review, even though he stated multiple times throughout the review, and even in the trailer, that it's a good game, just not a good two-player game. Just glaring at a Mischief Makers cartridge during an intro got him into hot water. He would later vow to never review that game. Ironically, the cartridge was donated by a fan of the show so that the Nerd could bash it. A day after his review on Metal Gear was released on YouTube, the video was suddenly flagged for unknown reasons, probably because some Metal Gear fans were a bit angry with his criticism of the game. This is ironic because the particular version he reviewed was the poorly-made NES port. And he, at one point, even called the original version "a great game", and makes it clear that he considers the rest of the series great as well.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_a851d974	comment	The Nostalgia Chick: She got a taste of this when she panned almost the entirety of the Transformers franchise (not just the Michael Bay films) in a review. Comments of "You're a girl, you wouldn't understand!" abounded. And it wasn't even a pan, more of a "brilliant idea, lots of fun, but boy is it silly", a viewpoint held by many sane Transfans. Happened again, only more so, after she trashed David Lynch's Dune (1984). This was mostly a combination of her spending a lot of time calling the Spice a "MacGuffin", which it isn't really, and trashing the novel as well as the movie (Several Dune fans didn't like the movie either). She got some hate for mentioning she hated The Little Mermaid, calling it a film about "a dumb girl who sold her soul for a vagina and a man she didn't know". Later on, she parodied this by dedicating a video to her friends staging an "intervention" in which she explains her opinions in more depth, the others explain why it's a great film, and in the end, she breaks and joins in the singing of "Part of Your World". She, along with Todd in the Shadows, received some hatred for not liking Wreck-It Ralph. She's stated that an explanation would come, but she never quite got around to making it.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_a9517b88	comment	Former God of War developer David Jaffe got this when he complained about the level design of Metroid Dread. He viewed what has since been dubbed "The (Jaffe) Room" to be obtuse game design that expects the player to do something they'd never think of doing normally (i.e., shoot the ceiling). People were quick to mock him, pointing out that in addition to "The Room" having multiple tells to goad the player into doing just that, a tutorial had already established "shoot the walls" as a mechanic in the second room of the game. Jaffe snapped back at these critics, claiming that even if that was the case, the player can still get lost because there are too many other areas to explore besides "The Room," only to garner more mockery as he inadvertently demonstrated that the game blocks off every other possible path. Jaffe would make a third and final video on the topic, but people continued to criticize him and claim he's just bad at the game. He would once again catch flack for criticizing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, this time for claiming it had "ugly" graphics. This is in spite of the fact that many agree the game is absolutely stunning even on handheld mode, as its varied environments and set pieces helped make the world feel vibrant and lived-in. He did not help his case at all when he enlisted an A.I. to "fix" the graphics, at a time when A.I. art was becoming more controversial due to its very nature and how it seemingly invalidates and copies the work of actual artists. Naturally, many fans did not appreciate the gesture, and to them this confirmed he was out of touch with modern gaming and what makes for good game design.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_af552e7e	comment	He caught a good bit of flak with his "Top 10 Overrated Video Games" list, in which he bashed games like Metroid Prime, Left 4 Dead, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the basis that he feels they get too much-undeserved praise.note The last one, in particular, was seen as being hypocritical when it was revealed that Jon's all-time favorite video game is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the highest selling and most critically acclaimed Zelda game even a decade after he made the video. However, it's worth noting that the video has become Creator Backlash, and it has been removed from his main channel (it even once had the description on Normal Boots changed to "This video is now in Hell, where it belongs"), now only viewable via uploads from fans who saved the video. It was removed because of both fan backlash and Jon admitting that his opinions on some of the games have since changed after going back and playing them in a less critical light (this video was even joked about in his Mighty Max review, where the possessed Mighty Max SNES cartridge called out Jon for "making videos [he] is not proud of").

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_b4967d43	comment	GamesRadar has been viewed this way for their less-than-forthcoming outlook on the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, especially when one considers their hatred of Sonic to be a Running Gag, along with their fanatical obsession with Ōkami and the "Wife Arm". There are also complaints that they didn't finish the final version of Sonic Unleashed before reviewing it. And it appears they didn't finish Sonic and the Black Knight either. Their review of Fire Emblem Engage was criticized for giving the game two and a half stars out of five for the lackluster story and supports, as while a good portion of the fans agree with those criticisms, not everyone thinks it justifies scoring it that low.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_b80b5c0d	comment	Dunkey's video on Sonic Frontiers got slammed hard by the Sonic the Hedgehog fanbase. While few will call Frontiers perfect, even those who aren't as keen on the game accused him of portraying it as something it's not and hyperfocusing on its less polished aspects at the expense of its more praised elements. Some noted that he doesn't appear to be taking the game seriously, and that some of the points he brings up contradict each other; in one sequence, he treats static cutscene triggers with laughably low Memory Token requirements as insurmountable obstacles, which is not only blatantly incorrect but goes against his earlier criticism of the game's supposed railroading (the whole point of Memory Tokens is to encourage exploring each area). His footage of the Final Boss also depicts it as an extended Press X to Not Die sequence, giving away that he was playing the entire game on Easy mode. Like his Splatoon 2 video, it's not labeled as a "dunkview", but that they share many of the same flaws seems to discredit the Poe's Law theory, causing some to accuse Dunkey of being either ignorant or intentionally dishonest.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_b9fb4078	comment	Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop often gets this. By far, his most infamous review is of Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, giving it a 6/10, a shock to what many would consider not only the best album of 2010, but arguably the best album of the 2010s. To this day, he gets requests from fans to either re-review the album or gets asked whether his opinion had changed (which it hasn't). His bashing of The Weeknd's debut mixtape, House of Balloons, is just as infamous if not more, especially with The Weeknd's rise in popularity since 2015. New fans digging up old reviews may be shocked to discover Anthony's early disinterest towards Abel. Artists such as Steven Wilson, Opeth, J. Cole, and Childish Gambino have mostly garnered mixed-to-negative reviews from him. Fan backlash is to be expected. The scathing review of Arctic Monkeys' AM is particularly despised by fans of the band. His Channel Orange review also gets this a lot, despite that he gave it a Strong 7 (which is quite a good score). His mixed review of Hiatus Kaiyote's Choose Your Weapon did not also get a positive reception, with many questioning whether or not he fully listened to the album. And then there was his 7/10 review for Kendrick Lamar's DAMN., which despite being mostly positive and even being included on the list of his favorite albums of 2017, drew massive uproar from TDE fans. Not helping matters was giving the same grade to the self-titled mixtape of the routinely mocked Lil Pump. Fantano has even mocked the outrage on Twitter a bunch of times. The review of Salem's debut album King Night, and of Witchhouse as a whole, is currently sitting on a like-to-dislike ratio of 50/50 presumably due to angry fans upset that he doesn't "get" the point of the genre. Many commenters have taken to calling him a "normie" due to not enjoying an admittedly harsh sounding style of music. Mac Miller's extremely personal and beloved album Swimming was the subject one of Fantano's most controversial takes to date. The review has aged even worse in hindsight due to Mac Miller's tragic early death at the age of 26. Fantano likely maintains his 3/10 despite the tragic circumstances of Mac Miller's death, as he has defended giving negative reviews of artists who recently passed away in 2017, after Chester Bennington's shocking death. He also has since given Miller's spiritual successor to Swimming, Circles, a highly positive review.

In the "In Defense of Dark Souls II" video, he spends the video attacking the original game instead of offering new perspectives on its controversial sequel. The RWBY video was similarly criticized for him being perceived to be jumping on the "gotta hate RWBY for clicks" bandwagon, further exemplified as he spends the video castigating writers Miles Luna and Kerry Shawcross, holding the late Monty Oum up on a pedestal and treating Shane Newville's divisive manifesto as gospel. It also doesn't help that not only did his video come off as poorly researched due to missing blatantly obvious details presented in the show, but information was discovered where HBomberGuy openly stated his hatred of Monty Oum when he was still alive, thus his claims of respecting Oum in the video appear to be disingenuous at best, or an outright fabrication that puts the legitimacy of his entire video into question.

This is due to the fact that only two chapters of the story have been posted and that they should give the story a chance to see how it fleshes out before making any accusations. Fortunately, both sides made amends regarding this. In the third chapter, Iron117Prime, went on record and stated that his story was inspired by ChampionElCid story but made it clear that his story will play out differently from his story.

Problems include complaining about things that aren't in the game and saying it's bad because it's too hard, finding the sense of humor to be weak, and other issues that make it seem like they hadn't played the game for more than a few hours.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_ce97a859	comment	IGN gave PokÃ©mon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky a 4.9/10. The person who reviewed it had not even gotten past Apple Woods when he had done the review. On the website, he described the gameplay as lazy and dated and gave it the same criticism as the previous two versions, Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, criticising their presentation and graphics for reusing assets from their GBA predecessor. Despite the fact that Explorers of Sky improved on the previous two games by providing special episodes that expanded on some of the recurring side characters, added some new functions and gave Grovyle, Celebi, and Dusknoir a happy ending. Since it's considered the best game in the series and fans loved it, this wasn't received well.

This caused backlash not only on Golden-Road.net but on The Game Show Forum and other places in the game show community. Seidelman had to heavily edit her review to remove personal attacks and references to Encyclopedia Dramatica but the damage had already been done. In September 2017, she removed the induction from the site.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_d0f249dd	comment	Mac Miller's extremely personal and beloved album Swimming was the subject one of Fantano's most controversial takes to date. The review has aged even worse in hindsight due to Mac Miller's tragic early death at the age of 26. Fantano likely maintains his 3/10 despite the tragic circumstances of Mac Miller's death, as he has defended giving negative reviews of artists who recently passed away in 2017, after Chester Bennington's shocking death. He also has since given Miller's spiritual successor to Swimming, Circles, a highly positive review.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_d1920bd	comment	videogamedunkey: Dunkey received quite a bit of flak for his video on Splatoon 2, which many believed didn't even try to give the game a chance. For one example, he criticized how difficult it was to aim in the game — after turning off the game's gyro controls, which are the default control scheme and are widely regarded as being more accurate, and equipping a weapon that explicitly sacrifices accuracy for high spread and rate of fire. He also failed to even mention the existence of several entire game modes, including the game's highly praised PvE mode Salmon Run. Not helping things, this video came out on the heels of his infamous "Game Critics" video, in which he criticized game journalists over some of the same mistakes that he was in turn criticized for making in this video. Unlike his normal, "serious" reviews, however, it was noted that the video did not include "dunkview" in the title, leading some to believe that the whole thing was intended as a Stealth Parody. Dunkey's take on Octopath Traveler was not very well received by a sizable number of viewers, especially among fans of the game and of the genre as a whole. Many accused him of deliberately failing at the game in order to justify giving it a bad score (e.g. not attacking a monster's weakness to break it), and taking elements out of context to misrepresent the game, such as Ophilia's chapter and her repeated use of the phrase "Your Excellency"Explanation Ophilia is the adopted daughter of Bishop Josef, but due to Japanese attitudes on adoption, is unusually deferential to her adoptive father and usually calls him by his title, unlike how his biological daughter Lianna calls him "Father.". His Reddit post made in response to the negative feedback didn't help either, where he admitted to only playing ten hours of the game, which made his arguments seem hollow, and in general admitted that he was not really paying attention during it. Fans were somewhat split regarding his Kingdom Hearts III dunkview. While many viewers disagreed with him giving the game such a low score (A 1/5, the lowest dunkview score he's given unironically), the overall consensus was that they found his complaints and points about the game's style over substance and Kudzu Plot to be valid, even if they still enjoyed it personally. Indeed, the general consensus was that Dunkey was right that the game's story, characters, and dialogue were not great, especially in the back half of the game, but they disagreed when it came to a lot of the gameplay elements, which were some of the most praised aspects of the game. Many were unimpressed by his extremely negative review of Death Stranding, mainly because they felt he was unfair to the game and deliberately played it wrong. For example, he spent much of the video trying to scale sheer cliffs, something the game expressly warns against, then claimed the controls were bad for not letting him do so. Even some who agreed that the game wasn't great felt that Dunkey went too far. He later revisited the game in a follow-up video where he conceded that, while the game had huge problems and "fucking sucks ass," he'd played it three times and enjoyed it. Dunkey's video on Sonic Frontiers got slammed hard by the Sonic the Hedgehog fanbase. While few will call Frontiers perfect, even those who aren't as keen on the game accused him of portraying it as something it's not and hyperfocusing on its less polished aspects at the expense of its more praised elements. Some noted that he doesn't appear to be taking the game seriously, and that some of the points he brings up contradict each other; in one sequence, he treats static cutscene triggers with laughably low Memory Token requirements as insurmountable obstacles, which is not only blatantly incorrect but goes against his earlier criticism of the game's supposed railroading (the whole point of Memory Tokens is to encourage exploring each area). His footage of the Final Boss also depicts it as an extended Press X to Not Die sequence, giving away that he was playing the entire game on Easy mode. Like his Splatoon 2 video, it's not labeled as a "dunkview", but that they share many of the same flaws seems to discredit the Poe's Law theory, causing some to accuse Dunkey of being either ignorant or intentionally dishonest.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_d9c602eb	comment	Since South Park's mission is to make fun of literally every group of people in existence, a fairly common opinion you'll see from its detractors is some version of "The show was great until it made fun of my beliefs!" Even the people who actually work on the show aren't immune to this, since Chef's voice actor Isaac Hayes, a Scientologist, quit the show after the episode making fun of Scientology. Trey Parker and Matt Stone were quick to point out that they had poked fun at several other religions and he never seemed to have a problem with it before. Due to his stroke (which he had right before he quit the show), his willingness to poke fun of others before (he had even stated at much), and Scientology's internal policy of dealing with criticism or jokes directed toward it, some believe that it wasn't entirely Hayes's decision to quit the show. The episode following Hayes's departure had Chef become brainwashed by an organization of child molesters masquerading as an Adventurer's Club with an absurd mythology, and ended in his death. At Chef's funeral, Kyle points out that they should not hate Chef for what he did, but rather, the "fruity little club" that made him that way.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_dd9b1cd2	comment	Game Informer gets a lot of this for its "annual" Sacred Cow Barbecue, explaining why popular games (even the ones they praised) suck. While it is done in a joking manner and meant to "knock some of gaming's most revered icons off their high and mighty pedestals," there are readers who cancel their subscriptions to the magazine. Their initial negative review of Silent Hill 2, on the other hand, was evidently not a joke, and fans went justifiably ballistic because the magazine —for reasons still at large— tapped a reviewer who admitted to both preferring twitch/action games and detesting Survival Horror as a genre. While the logic behind this choice was somewhat sound (i.e. "If this guy likes it, then it must be great!"), assigning the review to a writer with an open bias against games like it also had a very obvious flaw (i.e. "If this guy hates it, that might not mean it's actually terrible."). Their continued potshots at the game and disbelief at its sales numbers in several subsequent issues didn't help in smoothing things over, either. Game Informer would subsequently praise the game in retrospective articles, and unlike many of their other "retro" reviews, they never even bothered to archive it, indicating they want it to remain forgotten.

Admittedly, also like Cinema Sins it's not helped by the writers' tendency to almost not bother hiding their scorn for movies they didn't like (this is especially apparent in their videos about The Hobbit, or The Dark Knight Rises), including levying personal mockery against people involved in production, leading some viewers to accuse them of being more interested in personally ranting than anything else.

He did not help his case at all when he enlisted an A.I. to "fix" the graphics, at a time when A.I. art was becoming more controversial due to its very nature and how it seemingly invalidates and copies the work of actual artists. Naturally, many fans did not appreciate the gesture, and to them this confirmed he was out of touch with modern gaming and what makes for good game design.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_f7c8e36e	comment	Dunkey's take on Octopath Traveler was not very well received by a sizable number of viewers, especially among fans of the game and of the genre as a whole. Many accused him of deliberately failing at the game in order to justify giving it a bad score (e.g. not attacking a monster's weakness to break it), and taking elements out of context to misrepresent the game, such as Ophilia's chapter and her repeated use of the phrase "Your Excellency"Explanation Ophilia is the adopted daughter of Bishop Josef, but due to Japanese attitudes on adoption, is unusually deferential to her adoptive father and usually calls him by his title, unlike how his biological daughter Lianna calls him "Father.". His Reddit post made in response to the negative feedback didn't help either, where he admitted to only playing ten hours of the game, which made his arguments seem hollow, and in general admitted that he was not really paying attention during it.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_f7ed2fd7	comment	She got some hate for mentioning she hated The Little Mermaid, calling it a film about "a dumb girl who sold her soul for a vagina and a man she didn't know". Later on, she parodied this by dedicating a video to her friends staging an "intervention" in which she explains her opinions in more depth, the others explain why it's a great film, and in the end, she breaks and joins in the singing of "Part of Your World".

Rob Paulsen choked him out over his negative review of Evangelion and he received a beatdown from a ton of other personalities including Linkara, his title card artist, and Woolie over Akira and Violence Jack. He even opens up his "Oldtaku, New Tricks" review of My Hero Academia (in which he honestly says it's well-executed, but there's nothing in it that merits the "second coming of Shonen" label that many people give it) by saying that he expects he'll get flak for what he's going to say.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_fb1f271c	comment	When animators Jessica "Kalei Works" Sheffield and Hailey "SquigglyDigg" Lain each published an essay in April 2020 about how Lilo & Stitch is "the worst Disney movie ever" because (in Sheffield's essay) it "didn't represent Hawaiian culture" since it was written and directed by two white men—Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois—and (in Lain's essay) for depicting Lilo as a gigantic abusive brat, they received hate mail and death threats from upset fans. The backlash was also severe enough to make the hashtag #Lilo trending on Twitter. The backlash was mainly for the aforementioned interpretation of Lilo as abusive when she's just a child struggling with her trauma, and because both Sheffield and Lain weren't Hawaiian themselves and thus had no more room to state what a good depiction of the state's culture would be. An attempt by Sheffield on Tumblr to rectify the situation using a quote from legendary Native Hawaiian swimmer Duke Kahanamoku didn't work either, nor did a later apology from Lain added to the end of her essay.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_fb201f3a	comment	Familiar Faces: CR has increasingly bashed Friendship Is Magic since its second season finale. His cameo in The Nostalgia Critic review of Son of the Mask where he called the show's third season a "shitty abomination" in a cutaway joke received almost the same amount of attention from viewers as the rest of the video itself. After the initial fan backlash, he has become extremely hostile to anyone who enjoyed the third season overall (often to the point of arguing with and belittling those who attempt to defend it) and is largely unwilling to give out official explanations as to why he does so.note As the few reasons he has given have come across as incredibly trivial. Such as "Magic Duel" is "pandering" to fans because of the return of fan favorite character Trixie, Luna entering dreams is "gimmicky" and "nonsensical" and Spitfire acting "out-of-character" in a certain episode. As a result, many of his former fans who got into the franchise due to his prior recommendations have lost a great deal of respect for him. And then there's this, based on a screencap image from the original (misinformed) version of the entry.note The person that CR is blaming is an author over on FIMFiction who has pointed out many of Chad's unreasonable complaints. In a slightly more mild example, CR got a little bit of backlash for not liking the Gravity Falls episode "A Tale of Two Stans."

Comments of "You're a girl, you wouldn't understand!" abounded. And it wasn't even a pan, more of a "brilliant idea, lots of fun, but boy is it silly", a viewpoint held by many sane Transfans.

He Panned It, Now He Sucks! / int_fdbace96	comment	WatchMojo received massive backlash for putting Gravity Falls on their Top 10 Hated Disney Cartoons list, feeling the show was "too dark" for younger audiences and somewhat formulaic. The backlash was so strong that it led to WatchMojo apologizing for their choice, both in an annotation for the original video and in another video. Not only that, they would later give Gravity Falls the #3 spot on their list of the Top 10 Cartoon Shows of the 2010s, as well as rank Dipper Pines at #6 on the Top 10 Memorable TV Cartoon Characters of the 2010s So Far.
