It's not attacking a person to ask them to back up their qualifications to judge.

How many movies or tv shows have you made? Have you ever told someone that a tv show was bad? I bet the answers are zero and plenty, respectively.

The kind of argument you're making is a very big fallacy.

That's not really a rational analogy. That would be analogous if we were discussing someone consuming minecraft (i.e. playing it), not someone working on it.

Asking for qualifications isn't the same as asking for evidence

The discussion is highly subjective. Qualifications are the only kind of evidence there is.
