Who gives a fuck if Az "accepts criticism?" His contributions to the culture consist of his embarrassing tantrum about pronouns in a video game that became a viral meme. He isn't making anything except our enemies laugh.
CREATORS need to accept criticism and trolling. Especially when they do nothing but dish it out for a living.
The problem with EVS...when he's right, he's right. When he's wrong, oh boy is he wrong.
Az does accept criticism and trolling, his course of action is actually wholly good; don't engage it, a path EVS once endorsed but his mood swings from one day to the next so I have no idea.
