Strawman argument.
If a kid plays the piano in a shitty way, it's okay to say "well, he sucks."
actually no. That's called being an asshole. You can say that he has room to improve, or that he's still learning, or literally anything but "wow they just suck" like some asshole.
No strawman. One is positive and one is negative. That's why they are different lol
And no it's not really okay. You should encourage children.
Being uncomfortable with criticism does not mean immunity from criticism. This isn't a middle school play FFS, it's a licensed series for something that already has a large, established fan base. Millions of dollars went into this. People's careers depended on this. Using "they're just kids!" to deflect legitimate criticism toward their acting abilities is not only nonsensical, it's cowardly.
