Nah, it's actually the normalization of baseless criticism. "It's shit unless it manages to impress ME, a highly important individual with impeccable tastes. No, I will not think very hard about my criticisms I just know."
At some point, society collectively decided harsh criticism makes you look based and understanding the intent and message of a piece of media makes you cringe and a nerd.
It's part of the demonization of intelligence and normalization of slave thinking.
