Demo account. Sincerity reads as naive. If a film winks at me I wink back.

Archetype

Sincerity reads as naive. With a streak of The Genre Devotee.

5% of curators. Today's reading; it moves as they rate.

Wit, distance, a raised eyebrow. They like work that knows what it is doing and lets they in on the joke.

Where it goes wrong: Irony is a defense. The thing you are protecting yourself from is often the thing worth feeling.

More about the Ironist

Avoids: Unguarded sincerity. Earnestness makes you reach for the exits, even when it is earned.
How they rate: You reward cleverness and dock the heartfelt. Your reviews are the funniest on the site, and you know it.
Good company: Provocateurs and Formalists are good company. The Sincere is your mirror image; you two should compare notes more often.
Against the crowd: You are kinder than the crowd to the arch and the dry, and harder on tearjerkers that worked on everyone else.
