{{work}}
These things about ''[[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]'' are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.
* [[Actor Shipping]]: Lindsay/Nella is quite popular, mostly for people who want unabashedly fluffy [[Ho Yay|Les Yay]] instead of abuse and fucked-upness.
** Even though he's engaged and she's dating Todd, Lindsay/Doug is also popular. The reason is basically the same - fluff and cuteness. And both of these are just for fun.
Line 14 ⟶ 15:
* [[Base Breaker]]: See [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] below. Check the comments for many videos Nella appears in and you'll find plenty that lament her getting screen time.
** Fans of the [[Disney Renaissance]] tend to [[Understatement|hate]] her.
* [[
** Her [[Driven to Madness]] [[Heroic BSOD]] over how pathetic reviewing makes her was never brought up again.
* [[Broken Base]]: Usually between those who prefer the style of her newer reviews - i.e. the ones featuring the supporting cast and based more around analysing tropes - and those who liked the linear reviews she originally put out.
Line 27 ⟶ 28:
* [[Discredited Meme]]: In her Villainesses countdown, the [[101 Dalmatians|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]] have to stare at her sadly before she gives in and yells her "PUPPIES!" catchphrase. The [[Running Gag]] was put to death after that.
* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: In her second "Thanks For The Feedback" video, she made a music video featuring [[Black Comedy Rape|a rap song about rape]]. The video was almost universally reviled as being in poor taste, and has since been taken down. Although not for that reason; [[Word of God]] says that she wasn't happy with the edit and didn't want it to be put up anyway.
** Yes, okay, [[Interquel
** While the backlash was much bigger when the Critic made his joke, her comment about "autistic temper tantrums" got people rather angry.
** While the majority loved both episodes for [[Refuge in Audacity]], there was a certain [[Yaoi Fangirl|section]] of the fanbase that ''hated'' her for coming up with the idea of the [[Het Is Ew|first]] "Spooning With Spoony".
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
** Even though she made fun of this attitude ''herself'' in ''[[Kickassia]]'', they also seem to think that she has the very worst [[Hate Dumb]] and she only gets criticized because she's female. While the shit-stirring trolls ''do'' go for sexism with her, everyone on TGWTG gets threats and creepiness and other nasty things. It just shows that they think she's a woman to be protected first and a person (who can so clearly look after herself) second.
** She gets ''very'' angry when Critic fanboys tell her she needs to stay in her territory and not review "boy stuff" like the ''[[X-Men]]'' cartoon.
** Many [[
** She's made two abortion jokes, one in ''Grease'' about coat hangers and the other in ''Showgirls'' about pushing the pregnant woman down the stairs. Even though she can joke about whatever the hell she wants, people didn't like these because of her own abortion about half a year prior.
** There are some who yell at [[Todd in the Shadows]] because they have no idea why he'd reject her. As hypocritical and assy as he is, she's a (hilarious) [[Stalker with a Crush]] who can't take a hint and if he doesn't want her, then he doesn't want her. Simplez, yes?
Line 60 ⟶ 61:
** You get people willfully ignoring that Chick is a very different persona from Lindsay and calling the latter a snobby fandom-hater when she's clearly not.
* [[Heartwarming in Hindsight]]: In the first "Thanks For The Feedback", the Critic breaks down and shout-asks her if she even cares about him. She doesn't have time to answer before he storms off, but various episodes later on show pretty clearly that he's one of the very few people she ''does'' give a shit about.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20110302031315/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thedudette/specials/29963-gallery-of-ancient-horrors-aids-and-stds This video], which Lindsay originally made while in high school, involves (among other things) a giant stuffed bear with AIDS having an affair with a teenager. In other words, [[Memetic Molester|Pedobear]].
** In her early reviews, she liked making fun of [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] between characters and how people seemed to think that was entertaining. She has a [[The Masochism Tango|Masochism Tango]]/[[Dating Catwoman]] thing with the Critic that's incredibly enjoyable for both us and them.
** In the ''[[My Little Pony]]'' review, her main beef was that the characters were deathly boring and had no conflict. The new [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|show]] has had each of the mane cast break down at least once.
** "And besides, who's going to be interested in a female character who's pretty shamelessly a knock-off of her already popular male counterpart?" Seeing how fricking huge the character sheet is, evidently quite a lot of people.
** She introduced a character named "Lord [[MacGuffin]]". In Pixar's ''[[Brave]]''...
** Her first [https://web.archive.org/web/20100511181227/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thedudette/nostalgia-chick/21361-stop-worrying-and-love-the-kesha episode] related to the music industry was released about the same time her future IRL [[Todd in the Shadows|boyfriend]] came onto the site.
* [[Hollywood Homely]]: Nella, especially in the ''[[Grease]]'' review. Many [[Comically Missing the Point|Comically Missed the Point]] and treated her like a [[The Woobie|woobie]], not listening to the fact that Nella wrote that sideplot ''herself'' and is perfectly happy with her appearance.
* [[Ho Yay]]: Actually a Les Yay with BFF Nella:
Line 100 ⟶ 101:
** So did her review of the ''[[Transformers]]'' franchise. In a self-parody, [[The Nostalgia Critic]] bitched at her for that one too.
** Inevitably, fans of the ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' weren't too keen on her hate for it.
** Apparently ''[[Disney]]'' fangirls can be just as savage as fanboys, because they got their claws out when she ''reviewed'' ([[Fan Dumb|not panned, we might add]]) ''[[Mulan]]'' and slammed ''[[Hercules (1997 film)
*** Notably, Lindsay's actual opinion of Hercules sums up to "It was flawed, but I DO enjoy it."
** People who liked ''[[Dragonheart]]'' for more than just the "fucking dragon", bitched heavily after her review of it too.
Line 108 ⟶ 109:
** During her review of ''[[The Man in the Iron Mask (1998 film)|The Man in the Iron Mask]]'' she said the only reason the movie did well was because of squeeing [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] fangirls. People who liked the movie as a movie were not pleased.
** ''[[The Fifth Element]]''. Many people think she really misrepresented this film, especially when she didn't show Leeloo kicking ass so she could complain about her being [[The Chick]].
** Really, the Chick is subject to this far more often than the Critic, since she tends to review films that are usually rather well-liked, such as... Well, ''[[Mulan]]'', ''[[Hercules (1997 film)
** Many fans of ''Jem'' were very angry at Lindsy for her panning the series, the biggest complaint came from her not even bothering to watch the series entirely before she reviewed it.
** Although she didn't actually REVIEW it, she put a small [[Take That]] to [[Lilo and Stitch (Disney film)|Liloand Stitch]] as [[They Just Didn't Care|"Slapped together garbage" that "didn't have as much passion put into it"]] as [[The Lion King]] in her review of The Lion King.
Line 122 ⟶ 123:
* [[Yoko Oh No]]: While the majority of Critic fangirls love her, there are a crazy few with either a [[Double Standard]] regarding skits and humor or just like talking about how they'd enjoy beating the shit out of her while calling him adorable. The fact that Doug seems to love Lindsay like a little sister doesn't seem to enter into their heads.
