Reika, I doubt anyone from the Xion CC will feel too at ease or even welcome to critic her in the Xion FC, amirite? And it's not like we worship the girl blindly, we do admit that she has her flaws and the game she was introduced in could've been better.
But there's still the FC and the CC, and I don't think anyone's complaining so far, correct me if I'm wrong. Also, note how you said one time that fans can come to critic in a CC and one time critics can come critic in an FC. So you already accepted the differentiation yourself.
Because despite there being criticism, in order for you to post freely in a fanclub, you need to answer one very obvious requirement. That's why people are members of opposing clubs, not just when dealing with Xion.
So no, criticism in the SoKai FC is, imo, not a good idea. Especially since it seems like FCs turn rather defensive. I should know, why I tried criticising civilly in the SoKai FC, it felt like I was being chased out and scorned. When in the original Kairi FC that I opened, I talked about how I'd like to see Kairi in the future and how I felt she could be improved, being hopeful, the only ones posting were Lifes.Lover and I - two proclaimed haters at the time.
Why? Because it's a fanclub. The bottom line isn't "it could've been better", rather "I still like it" - as opposed to a CC, which is why Virgil and I felt the need to reopen it.
And then, of course, there're the people who, much like how you'd dislike seeing blunt hate about the couple in the FC, wouldn't stand seeing too much blunt love which is also something people need to invest thought into. Those people won't manage in an FC.
tl;dr I fail to see why things need to get so heated and for there to be apologies. If you know you'll end up needing to apologize about it... why do it at all?
