I think the only real obligation is to be true to the science and be courteous (ie attack the idea not the person). but if the paper is bad, it’s a disservice to the field let it continue to be bad without comment!

also if I can Stoicism post just a bit: this is also what memento mori is for. you are going to die someday - do you really imagine than one of your regrets will be that you didn't organize more of your life around what random Redditors think is gay?

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

that said, the one time we needed to do this we found out that the cameras were powered by battery (?) and that the battery had been dead for months (??) so there was no footage at all lol. luckily the company took the lack of video as proof and resent it anyway
