I feel like after people realized "let people enjoy things" is reddit they got cannonballed into the opposite thought, y'know, "you shouldn't enjoy this thing", and that's fucked! The first message is obviously incredibly cringe and cloying but it's still true!

Especially on fedi where everyone is a hyper-pretentious queer teen that desperately needs to feel more well-read than everyone else the like, instinctive rejection of "normie media" or even of enjoying things in a "normie way" is really prevalent and it sucks.
If something's popular it's probably because it's easy to like and generally well-made! Being a fan of the popular thing is literally as fine as being a fan of -15 view media you can only find on neocities, if anything I respect normies more because they can like their thing without being a weirdo hipster about it.

@AppleAmps idk if i've seen any take on this that wasn't more along the lines of "letting people enjoy things is important but it isn't okay when it's used to try to deflect criticism"

Idk man, I follow a loooot of people that tie their sense of self-worth partly to how cool and indie their media tastes are so I just see a lot of weird takes related to that.
