The consumption is the point. They just want candy not a meal. They want fucking marvelslop not Cinema.

Inb4 let people enjoy things, the mindset on display is a perfect member of capitalist society. A mindless consumption machine.

    Between this post and the other one you just made:

    WHAT TREAT!??? WHAT TREAT!???

    I HAVE NO CONNECTION TO MARVEL, I’VE SAID THAT SO MANY TIMES?

    WHAT FUCKING TREAT AM I DEFENDING??

    BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY “TREAT” IM DEFENDING IS MY OWN FUCKING DESIRE FOR INNOCENT RANDOM PEOPLE NOT TO BE INSULTED AND IF THAT MAKES ME A TREAT DEFENDER THAN IM FUCKING PROUD OF IT

    IF HAVING FUCKING EMPATHY, EVEN FOR RANDOM FUCKERS WHO LIKE SHOWS I HATE, MAKES ME A TREAT DEFENDER, THEN I’LL BE A TREAT DEFENDER AS MUCH AS I FUCKING WANT, AND YOU’LL FUCKING DEAL WITH IT

    I don't think anything I say after this point is going to help. I'm not changing my position, especially not now. While I still respect what you admitted and showed previously, almost immediately after that you started all-caps demonstrating more of the same hostility you had replied to me with, in this thread, from the start.

    Does “treat defense” mean something other than someone vehemently defending some sort of piece of media?

    I suppose the definition can be expanded to outright reactive hostility toward even the idea or possibility of media criticism and taking it up as a personal cause, as if one is in personal danger if that entertainment product is criticized. Calling me "really stupid" because I posted an edited webcomic you clearly didn't like and going on and on from there, all because I do believe people should let people not enjoy things (and yes, criticize them).

    You apparently didn't like that the edit used the term "thought police." I didn't make the edit, I just used material on hand. But this exchange so far has in some ways only hardened my position about how unfortunately and excessively defensive some people can get at even the idea of their entertainment getting criticized.
