I don't know why you want to make this argument.

"Bad game design isn't real." It is real. Why do you say it's not?

"It's a term made by YouTubers who want to justify their petulant whining." I want to believe you, but you haven't provided examples for this point.

"There is only the experience you want to give players, and what you can do to create that experience." Okay, but what happens if that experience is not something that the players get? Because that sounds like bad game design to me.

"No good or bad game design, only good or bad game designers." That makes no sense. That's like saying no good or bad food, only good or bad chefs, and then the chef craps on my plate and tells me that it's chocolate sundae.

"This post is very clearly about rhetoric, people who use the term as shorthand for dismissing mechanics instead of saying why they don't like it." You have not provided any concrete example of anyone saying this whatsoever.

"People seem to think it means I like every game equally." That's what you implied when you said bad game design isn't real. If bad game design isn't real, you might as well say bad games are not real, or that every game design is good.

"Sending me a picture of a game I think is bad doesn't change anything." It actually does. It proves that bad game design exists, and you just hate it when people say that, even though they are using it correctly.
