I don’t think you have to explain everything in excruciating detail, but I think if you’re willing to attack someone you need to be willing to justify that attack if called on it. That does mean that someone might not get to share some criticisms, but in general I think the costs of losing some casual criticism is worth the benefits of improving the discourse overall.
I think registering a bad feeling about something is fine and doesn’t need to have a bunch of time spent on it, as the level of justification needed for something like that is pretty low. I don’t really even consider that an “accusation” per se, but I suppose you could conceptualize it as on a spectrum, where on one side you have “I don’t really like this” and on the other you have extreme stuff like “allowing this is a moral atrocity and the creator is a war criminal”. The latter obviously needs quite a lot of justification, while the former doesn’t much.
