So you've found a new review site. It's full of [[Accentuate the Negative]] and [[Bile Fascination]], and it isn't afraid to let these games/movies/TV shows have the what for. It takes them and points out every flaw and every weakness and every obscure little nit-pick that it can. And you love it, because it's funny, well written, comical and/or biased toward your particular viewpoint.
Wait, that's ''your'' favorite game/movie/show/book he's now trashing!
There's a tentative state that most of the viewers of these sites exist
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 fan-base. 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 show as an attack on ''them'' personally and are primed to [[Fan Dumb|flamewar first and skip the asking questions part]].
There can be some justification though. If a review comes across as excessively snobbish (like bashing a work for things other than its content, and for standards that the reviewers seems to be arbitrarily applying) or if a reviewer [[Fan Hater|expands their
A sub-trope of [[Accentuate the Negative]], and often a direct result of [[8.8]]. Fairly common when [[Critical Backlash]] is involved.

He's also had heat for his opinion of Gurren Lagann being too stupid, although he's never officially reviewed it.
▲* Dogasu, who runs a site committed to changes made in ''[[Pokémon (Anime)|Pokémon]]'', has openly stated that he didn't like the dark tone Team Rocket took in Best Wishes. Supporters of the serious Team Rocket did not take this well, and flooded him with angry blog posts and emails in response.
** He also took heat for disliking the Don Battle/Club Battle arc; and by extension, disparaging Zorua got him in further trouble from numerous Zorua fans.
* [[
== Comic Books ==
* It's probably not a coincidence that [[Atop the Fourth Wall
** 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]], merely admit that he had no idea what was going on (the story is a [[Mind Screw]], and he was reading a one-shot which explains 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.

*** He's also tried his very best with his "Top 11 Films Doug Loves/Hates But Everyone Else Hates/Loves" to convince people that everyone is allowed their own opinion and it doesn't say anything about you if you dislike a movie or enjoy it.
** Also, the review of ''Sidekicks'' features him satirizing the fan's reaction.
** He's also getting a huge amount of hate for the ''[[Last Action Hero]]'' review. While it is a tiny bit justified because it is ''supposed'' to be a silly parody, one does get the feeling of once-calm fans turning into savage dogs because he didn't like what they liked. Some people were just baffled that he reviewed it as a straight action movie when it clearly isn't.
** It's anticipated in Doug's negative Bum Review of ''[[District 9]]'' which ends with a list of his gripes with the film and topped off with "Bring on the hate mail!"

** Even though the video was to get attention for a horrible censorship bill that could destroy his livelihood, people with rather [[Skewed Priorities]] are rather angry that he called ''[[Digimon]]'' a horrible show.
Line 50 ⟶ 47:
** His review of the original animated ''[[Transformers]]'' animated series did not go over well with viewers either, thanks in large part to the absurd amount of time the review devoted to bashing Michael Bay's movie trilogy. To make matters worse, the whole review was done with Doug [[Character Filibuster|acting in-character as Optimus Prime]] while delivering the editorial flogging of Bay and his movies, which didn't sit well with a lot of people. It's currently one of his lowest rated videos, although it should be noted that many commenters complained that the review just plain wasn't funny.
*** Said reception was also parodied in the review of ''[[Alien Resurrection]]'', which contained a scene with a Xenomorph who disliked the review being murdered so the others could escape. Doug liked working on the review, and was disappointed that it went over the way it did.

** Speaking of Spoony, he got so much heat from the ''[[Hudson Hawk]]'' fanbase when he announced his intent to review the movie that he cancelled the review, letting Film Brain do it instead. That's right. A semi-obscure early-90s Bruce Willis movie has a more terrifying fanbase than ''[[Final Fantasy]]''.
** By season 2 it seems Film Brain has come to expect this response for movies with high IMDB ratings, as his review of ''[[Seven Pounds]]'' began with a disclaimer to the effect of "This will be controversial, so please keep your comments constructive". [[Subverted Trope|The review went over quite well.]]
** His crossover review with [[
** Inverted by his review of ''[[Tooth Fairy]]''. He stated that he doesn't normally do kid's films and expected people to tear into him for criticizing it. Instead, people applauded him for ripping the film apart; praising the review.
* ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' took serious flack from other science fiction fans when [[The Movie]] riffed on sci-fi classic ''[[This Island Earth]]''.

*** Leonard was a good sport about it though and showed up next season to help Pearl inflict [[Gorgo]] on Mike and the Bots.

[[Roger Ebert]] defended him at first, but after reading the list, took it back, going so far as to call him a [[Troll]].
** His notorious hatred of [[Pixar]] (he claims the critical and commercial acclaim Pixar has received is due to capitalist brainwashing and that it ruins animation) culminated in his panning of ''[[Toy Story 3]]'', [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|bringing ToyStory3's Rotten Tomatoes ranking from a 100% to a 99%]]. His complaints were that it promoted consumerist culture and product placement, ''[[Transformers (
** The third, Jeremy Hailman, only escaped from less flames because he was the third one (fans would not take lightly the usage of the words "shark jump" along with Pixar).
* Critics on [[Rotten Tomatoes]] (or other review sites) who [[8.8|don't throw perfect scores]] at popular movies ([[The Dark Knight]], [[The Hurt Locker]], etc.) receive all kinds of borderline threats from the [[Fan Dumb]].
** [[Rotten Tomatoes]] is ''infamous'' for this. When various films open up with very high percentages, the few critics who give the movie a rotten score get insulted en masse by internet fanboys as nothing but hacks who know nothing about films, and often dig into said critics' catalog of films they reviewed and pick apart the bad movies the critics enjoyed or vice versa. Sometimes, this happens when a critic's blurb gets taken out of context, which unintentionally makes the reviewer look more pretentious or foolish to readers. This effect gets compounded when said fanboys [[Praising Shows You Don't Watch|collectively want 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 settles somewhere down the middle, the first few critics always get the brunt of the insults. It doesn't help that [[Rotten Tomatoes]]'s method of scoring is flawed, since the website merely gives estimate scores from the vastly different scoring systems that critics use.
** [[Time (magazine)|''Time'' magazine]]'s archival and surprisingly negative reviews of movies that later became [[Vindicated
** Many people are frustrated from ''[[Prince of Persia:
* Rod Hilton of [http://www.the-editing-room.com/ The Editing Room] gets a lot of flames in his message boards simply for having a movie the poster liked on his site. For example, the worst of the hate mail for ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' has been removed, but it amounted to "How dare you make fun of the BEST MOVIE EVAR!" Never mind that he gave the movie 4 1/2 stars.
* A guaranteed eventuality for fans of [[Confused Matthew]], who explicitly reviews movies he hates that were commercial successes (And bad sequels to what he thought were good movies). Amongst his targets, the otherwise highly praised ''[[The Lion King]]''.
Line 92 ⟶ 89:
** 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 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.
* The team of critics over at [http://www.ruthlessreviews.com/ Ruthless Reviews] have a pretty big fan following based on the many bad or mediocre films they tear apart (and the precious few they adore), yet fan backlash due to their panning of one classic movie or another is guaranteed to occur on a weekly basis.
* While many people praise [[
** One fan even wrote a [http://www.slashfilm.com/star-wars-fan-writes-108page-rebuttal-red-letter-medias-phantom-menace-review/ 108 page rebuttal] to his Phantom Menace review, claiming it to be a [[Documentary of Lies|review of lies]] and that Mike Stoklasa's arguments were weak.
▲== Live Action TV ==
* [[Charlie Brooker]] often does this in reverse by professing fandom of shows his readers [[Snark Bait|tend to sneer at]] such as ''[[Friends]]'' and ''[[Little Britain]]''. More conventionally, there was probably some surprise when he panned ''[[Monkey Dust]]'' in his ''Screen Burn'' column.

* [[YouTube]] user [http://www.youtube.com/user/WorstWrestlingThemes Worst Wrestling Themes] came under fire for posting Disturbed's version of Stone Cold Steve Austin's theme as part of his "Worst Wrestling Themes" series. This was not an April Fools joke like when he posted "Voices" (Randy Orton's theme) as part of the WWT series; he actually did not like this Austin theme. He [[Lampshade Hanging|predicted]] the inevitable reaction in the description by asking for people to let him know if they unsubscribed because of the video (currently two users have done so).
== Video Games ==
* As one reviewer/critic who ''lives'' off [[Accentuate the Negative]], [[Zero Punctuation|Yahtzee]] gets quite a lot of [[Internet Backdraft|flaming hate mail]]. But a particularly notable case occurred when he panned ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl'', and devoted an ''entire episode'' the very next week to address some of the [[Fan Dumb]] that was chucked his way.

** [[Games Radar]] has also been viewed this way for their less-than-forthcoming outlook on the Sonic franchise, especially when one considers their hatred of Sonic to be a [[Running Gag]], along with their fanatical obsession with Okami and the [[Bionic Commando

** In fact Morgan tends to be the one to review JRPGs because Sessler admits he really doesn't like the genre as a whole.
Line 137 ⟶ 130:
**** A few years back 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 Naruto was even in America.
** Adam Sessler did a whole segment dealing with 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!''. That isn't unpleaseable. That's a mega [[Critical Research Failure]].
*** Oh, it was worse than that. According to the comments he read in Sessler's Soapbox, the reason the [[

*** It's probably safe to say the show has never been serious about reviews. As it progressed, it became more about flame baiting fans, creating [[Dear Negative Readers]] to their responses, and "imitating cardboard cutouts of celebrities," as they put it. Plus, the reviews themselves generally have gotten scarcer. Oh, they generally gave fair scores in the end, but the real point seems to have always been the sideshow.
* Video game journalist Jeff Gerstmann gave ''[[
** [[History Repeats]], it seems. They're now getting flak for their review of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]].'' The score? A lousy ''7.5'', a far cry from the 10's to 8's that the game had gotten prior. The fact that he considered the controls to be bad was a point of contention with many fans and outlets. It didn't help that it was revealed that [[Critical Research Failure|reviewer Tom McShea had no idea that the game didn't use IR pointing,]] and was playing it like TP ''[[Waggle|5 years before,]]'' [[Epic Fail|somehow ignoring that the game tells you how to control the game at the earliest opportunity.]] To give you an idea, there are entire videos that disprove his apparent problems with the controls. And yet, even after that embarrassment, he won't take back what he said. [[What an Idiot!|Yes, he honestly still thinks the game still plays that way.]]
* Quite a few years ago. even before the [[Network Decay]], a G4 network show [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al-P2jMz0EM panned] the cult classic ''[[Shenmue]]'', which is often considered one of the best games ever. In fact, they considered it the ''second worst gamer ever'', just below a Zelda CDi game which they didn't do their research on.

* Jim Sterling from Destructoid is frequently accused of doing this in order to get the site more page hits, especially in regards to highly-anticipated games. Just the mention of his name in a review (and even some that he didn't even write) will invariably lead to long-term site posters yelling "inb4 shitstorm" and "RAGE IMMINENT", followed by an influx of new users who bash him for either being fat, elitist or an "unprofessional journalist". His reviews have since taken a mocking tone, and he frequently goes on the comment sections of his reviews to personally deal with trolls by ridiculing their faulty logic. His reviews frequently run into [[8.8]] status:
** ''[[
** Jim also caught quite a bit of flack for reviewing Vanquish poorly. When he went on to give ''[[Fist of the North Star]] Ken's Rage'' an 8/10, you could hear people the world over call "Bullshit!"

** He gave ''The Witcher II'' a 6, noting that it had a ton of potential and some truly great moments, but a handful of weak gameplay mechanics and bugs brought the final product down. Of course, to the game's fanbase (who hadn't even played it at the time the game was released), you would have thought that Sterling desecrated the homes of the developers and hated the game with a passion.
** By far, the biggest example of this for Jim to date is his scathing 2/10 review of ''[[
** Also inverted as far as the ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' series is concerned: he's probably the only professional reviewer who gives the series good scores, and this drives his [[Hate Dumb]] to bash him and use it as an argument to invalidate his views.
* [[Roger Ebert]] has started to get significant flak for his controversial views on video games, gamers, and the industry itself.
* [[The Spoony Experiment
** Some of this may be justified, after he urged to his viewers to ''[[Fan Hater|hunt down and kill]]'' anyone who liked ''[[Final Fantasy X]]''. He certainly [[Played for Laughs|said it in jest]], [[Dude, Not Funny|but still...]]
** Spoony has now panned ''[[Ultima Underworld]] 2'', a game that is widely held to be one of the best ever.
** Not to mention the almighty hissy fit the Deadliest Warrior fanbase threw when he savagely panned the low budget tie-in game. The backlash resulted in several straight weeks of trolling on the Spoony Experiment forums and comments section from irate fans, prompting Spoony to do a follow-up video... which wasn't any kinder than the first one.
* In one Video Game Vault, [[
* Game Informer gets a lot of this for its "annual" Sacred Cow Barbeque, 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.

* People who critique on [[Deviant ART
** Thanks to the steady flow of actual trolls mucking up the place, especially from places like Encyclopedia Dramatica, it can be a tad understandable, although deviantart does have just as many artists who cannot handle a critique.
** More to the point (besides the obvious truth of troll influx), is that there are few critics on dA who actually give constructive criticism so the artists can improve. However, that said, there is a ''lot'' of ego-driven pride where some artists will dismiss the critique of someone who they think is not as good as them, even if the critique is perfectly valid. Then ''again'', dA mostly revolves around social networking, and anyone who actually has an interest in improving their work will go somewhere else (E.g. conceptart.org)

* When Isaac Hayes left ''[[South Park]]'' after the Scientology episode, 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' decision to quit the show. The episode following Hayes' departure also features Kyle pointing out at Chef's funeral that they should not hate him for what he did, but rather, the "fruity little club" that made him that way.
