but if you wanna keep doing bassless songs and boost them up in the mastering phase when it affects every sound in the song, be my guest.

Sure, if you really don't know what you're doing, it's probably a bad idea to use EQ when mastering. Maybe I shouldn't be trying certain things, but I only make very subtle changes. It doesn't seem to sound bad.

Yeah, I guess that would make all the tutorials on the TA stickies invalid, if it was "wrong" to use EQ when mastering.
