No, see this " objective, empirical-based arguments " and " You're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. " is why I'm not bothering to respond to a great deal your posts. There is no objectivity when discussing the merits of entertainment, you keep on using all these big words like the ones I've quoted and "cognitive dissonance" like they mean what you seem to think they do, which they don't, and I already explained your arguments from the last post where pretty much all straw-manning and cherrypicking. Now you're cherrypicking the parts of my post you think you can argue with except your only point is a youtube link like it's some sort of objective evidence regarding how people should enjoy music and you raging about others not having the same opinion as you. And for the record, I find St. Anger mostly boring, Master of Puppets is certainly better but I much prefer Ride The Lightning, One More Light feels like super poppy drivel to me compared to *all* the other Lincoln Park albums, and I think the Last Jedi is great spectacle but has horrible... pretty much everything else. Still though, like everything you listed, those are just my opinions and thinking I've arrived at some sort of higher peak of media enlightenment is well...



It's what leads you to write multiple paragraphs about how "right" you are because someone disagreed with on a comment you left regarding a beautiful piece of My Little Pony fan art that apparently you can't even fully appreciate because it's from a part of the franchise you personally don't like. And I'm not dismissing either MLP or EqGs just because they're intended for children, though I think it's good to have a sense of humor about these things mostly because it saves a lot time with all the irate comments I feel don't need to leave. But then again, it's more rewarding to me to write heaping tons of fanfiction on the series.



Really, if you're going to learn anything from the series, it's the value of getting along with others and making friends. You'll likely find you have more in common with someone than not, especially in this fandom.
