You'd have to be extremely deluded to think society today or in the future is holding back the proper treatment of, and research of illnessnesses in, people of color and women.

It's largely bullshit. It has no relation to the post. And it's clear that the commenter has a unrealistic view of the world.

I guess you'd have to have the knowledge of the use of canaries in old mining operations.

I take pride in my English, so I mean it when I say thank you.

That said, seems we're both wrong. I was wrong to correct you. You're wrong in that "prophesize" is in fact a real word. "Prophesy" and "prophesize" mean the exact same thing. The former is the older classic spelling. The latter, while newer, seems to date back as far as the 19th century.

Snobs can go fuck themselves for all I care. Critics have their place, but it isn't to provide an aggregate score of how good or bad something is. Entertainment is extremely subjective, to the point that poorly made products can be highly valued, and "vice versa". Don't listen to the popular consensus. What you should be doing is finding critics that A) aren't flip-floppy or morally bankrupt, and B) align with your own subjective opinions as much as possible.

Once you do this, you'll be able to find true value in critics. Even so, never let someone else stop you from forming your own educated opinion.
