There’s also a difference between not acknowledging a thing’s flaws and not mentioning a thing’s flaws every time you talk about something. Like, KH is one of my favorite series of all time and of smurfing course it’s flwef because everything is, but when I talk to people about it in whatever context, I don’t need to interject every sentence with an acknowledgment of any game’s flaws. I’m aware of them, and so is the other speaker (and we may well disagree on what these flaws are), but until the topic veers into that territory, we probably won’t mention it.

You don’t have to think a thing is flawless in order to enjoy it - nor do you need nostalgia to like it despite its flaws just because the flaws make it impossible for some people to stomach. We all have different tastes, and it being just nostalgia and nothing else is ver rarely the case.
