So we're way past criticizing a thing somebody makes. Instead we're criticizing the "product messaging" that goes along with the thing. The complaint seems to be that this event, despite all the time spent on the usual "The things you fans bought have indeed turned out to be very popular, yay for you" message, didn't deliver the same sense of materialist cult excitement that some people had become accustomed to. And that apparently is generally viewed as a criticism worth making, worth discussing. It's considered important. Hm. Well what do you know.
