I largely agree with this but it doesn't shield them from criticism.

Yes, you can criticize them. But at the end of the day, it’s their community. And if you’re not fitting in there, there are many others.

At the end of the day, a community like lobsters is run by people who want to hang out with other people they find interesting or on the same plane as them
