halsey’s point was never “you have to like my album,” it was “stop treating my medical trauma like evidence of a character flaw”. she wasn't asking to be spared criticism, she was asking not to be told that speaking about her own illness and fear of dying is somehow narcissistic.
Who cares he gave a bad review? I care that a pay for clicks reaction YouTuber can facade as a pro critic and say it’s “main character syndrome” for an artist to lament her medical suffering on an album (surprise!) about her own life. He’s a raised-by-4chan edgelord bully. Yuck.
