Honestly, it does seem everyone in this stupid fucking "discourse" as a certain "point past legitimacy" that they hold. The thing enjoyers think any criticism of the thing they enjoy is illegitimate. The enjoyers of criticizing the things thing enjoyers enjoy think any counter-criticism to their criticism are illegitimate. The enjoyers of criticizing the enjoyers of criticizing things the thing enjoyers enjoy think any counter-counter-criticism is illegitimate...
Everyone seems to think the buck stops exactly right wherever they are and everyone beyond needs to shut up. But that's not really how discussions of media work is it? Everyone it constantly making argument and counter arguments that lead into other arguments.
