I think it’s inherently a bad thing to he obsessed with pop media and nothing else. Fanboys of corporations are a plague and should be dealt with ruthlessly.
Nintendo fanboys, Disney adults etc.
The only people I see who don’t like the “slop memes” are people who are usually too into pop media themselves.
And I think that is a bad take, and I base that on the frequent complaints about that take in autistic spaces. I literally haven’t seen a Marvel movie, I listen to theory as audiobooks while I’m at work, my position is based on the awful shit that gets done to autistics to “correct” this supposedly bad behavior.
If one wanted to criticize the internalization of bad ideas in mass media, like “US are the world police and that is good” then sure, but media as a reflection of moral chatacter is some 19th century “everything has to quote Shakespeare because intellectuals read Shakespeare” shit.

I have nothing against neurodivergent people. Almost all the dudes I’m talking about are neurotypical men with too much money and apathy
All of my interests are comically niche. It just rubs me the wrong way.
This is altogether an assumption. Everyone I’ve seen criticize the meme has had literally no attachment to pop culture, and have stated so themselves.
