I just said that there ARE people who enjoy brutalist architecture.
Just not the majority of us. If it were otherwise, Moldova would be overflowing with tourists. As it stands, it's by far the least visited country on the planet. Sure, there are other reasons for that as well (political, cultural, economic), but to fight me on this point is ludicrous, in my opinion.
Do the vast majority of people go to Moscow to visit the Kremlin, or do they go to visit a random Brutalist neighbourhood. You and I both know that most tourists just don't do that. Why? Because they find it unattractive.
Therefore, people do make value judgements about beauty, and when a vast number of them say something is beautiful, and something else is ugly, I'd say there's objective data to be extracted from that.
