Well people get a bit meh about criticism, because, for example, many so called critics complain about Medvedeva being overscored, but forget that, in no world, Mai and Wakaba should be receiving those scores either. For instance, see Satoko`s program at GPF. She got 70 Pcs for that. Mai and Wakaba got 76 and 75 respectively here. Mai got 63 PCs at worlds for her free. Just saying.
As most critics just go straight ahead to bash Medvedeva and complain about her score, and not just rant on wttinflation, it makes them look like haters.
about overscoring being associated straight away with Medvedeva - aside of personal convictions/implications/reservations etched in some people's minds - I think that's the 'bitter' part of being seen as 'the one' and seated on the top by judges, the example comes from the top, after all, hence the immediate association. For me, the argument about 'general overscoring' should never bear any names or bear all names involved, but as Medvedeva is set as a role model by those who are scoring, her name will be involved anyway, even more that her scores, actually, knowing the people.
about second one - again, the example goes from the top, but there's no control over twisted understanding of some people representing there about that. So-called 'WTT inflation' should refer to more than 1 skater if considered as 'general' issue, connected commonly with competition. Inflation on Medvedeva's scores alone should be 'commented' separately and - depending on arguments used - then classified as a 'hate' or just 'critic'/'complaint'. And there's of course paranoid conviction of some that ANY negative thought/opinion expressed on scores/judging, without calling any skaters is about Medvedeva - so it's quite 'even' between 'looking like haters' and 'acting paranoid'. Just saying.
