the misconception about negative reviews

nobody wants to read reviews that are more interested in insulting you as the developer (and you are not cool for doing it either), than in sharing feedback
if youre writing up a negative review - write it in a respectful, concise manner

This is what I hate about review bombing, negative reviews should provide feedback to the designers and warn the consumers about potential issues with the product, they shouldn't be a cheap weapon to use in the culture war or to vent your frustrations, users tend to forget that there are people behind products.
On my part, I've written more than one bad review but I've always done so with politeness and trying to be as objective as possible, without attacking the designers themselves.

review bombs in general are peak stupidity, because they never achieve anything, and most often the response they get is carefully produced PR that makes the people participating in the review bomb feel good about themselves, without realizing that nothing has actually been done

You look fucking great on the cover of IV2. I'll recognize your eyebrows from a thousand XD

I agree with you, i don't know why you got so much push back on the plot of Intravenous 1, have these people never read a Punisher comic?
