trend I've seen lately that really gives me the ick is non-vibecoded decomps getting a ton of fully vibecoded mods and the latter is what 99% of the discussion is about, completely overshadowing all the work the original team put in

Long-term Comic idea where a guy accidentally summons a regular demon instead of a succubus. The demon happens to be a lesbian and ends up falling in love with the guys crush because she has nothing better to do now that she's stuck on the mortal plane.

I think there needs to be vocabulary to distinguish between "fans" of the "Criticising the thing I like is a personal attack" kind and "fans" of the "I am picking apart every flaw of this thing I like and examining it from all angles" kind
