"'Heartless' may go against what you see as the substance of Hamilton but 'I don't feel the heart in it' is an entitled opinion, even if you can't understand how someone would say that." Fair enough, but I think there's quite a big difference between saying a show is "heartless" and saying "I don't feel the heart in it." Someone might say, "I wasn't moved by A CHORUS LINE because I don't relate to the characters," but would anyone ever describe that show as "heartless?" So I think you're right that it comes down to semantics, but also, I think it's a good thing to be careful in choosing one's words, especially when being critical of something.
