I'm fully aware many 13-15 year old boys would be able to analyze and criticize a story such as this quite well.
To be clear, that's not the insulting part of the generalization. It's the insinuation that people who don't find the story and characterizations to be "awful" as you do must be childish and unable to analyse and criticize, like "smart people will agree the story sucks". It's a very unwise coda to add to your opinion, and you would have been better off omitting it.

I'd ask that further posts focus on the actual arguments or just let it be.
