this is vaguely related to the string theory related post from a day or two ago, it's all bazinga science folks TL;DW string theory is a big thing because people that read pop science really liked it and it took a long time for physicists to come out in force and say "this is untestable garbage"

    So we are just disagreeing over weather a show having a character being miserable countd as it showing them being miserable?

      Art, by definition, is eligible for and should be criticized. If it can’t be criticized, it isn’t art.

      You're refusing to accept that a story can be told with just about the same themes and ideas without an emphasis on gratuitous violence, cruelty, torture, and toxic nihilistic sermonizing. I gave an example of a show that did very similar things without Roiland's creepy fetishes and preoccupations (Bojack Horseman) and you responded by burying that example in false equivalencies about how fucking Arthur from the children's cartoon is equally as bad as Rick Sanchez because... reasons.

      I will keep saying it because you keep replying with nothing but sophistry and goalpost moving: Art, by definition, is eligible for and should be criticized. If it can’t be criticized, it isn’t art.
