Think Like A Critic

Critic At Extra Large challenges you to think like a critic.

Society often pressures us to conform to conventional “wisdom”. Have we ever stopped to think about what conventional “wisdom” really is or who determines it? Why is the status quo so widely accepted and seldom questioned? Why is criticism of any kind demonized so harshly? Why is “Why?” such an offensive question? Seeking answers to questions like these is what Critic At Extra Large is all about.

Thinking like a critic does not justify aimlessly throwing verbal barbs at anyone or anything you do not agree with. To think like a critic means to always analyze the facts in any given situation, attempt to understand multiple sides of any argument, questioning the rhetoric of the side that you agree with, and looking at the world through a gray lens rather than the polarized black or white lenses. In order to think like a responsible critic, you must question where you get your information from. You must also be willing to criticize yourself when appropriate.

The material on this site is designed to tackle politics and pop culture from a mature, conservative and big picture perspective. Critic At Extra Large is not for people who like participation trophies, smiling unicorns or unintelligent opinions draped in emotion. This site is not for the easily offended, advocates for participation trophies or affirmation seekers. If you are a tough-minded and self-accountable individual, then this is the site for you.

Welcome to Critic At Extra Large.
