Imagine being so small that you not only cant interact directly with someone on the internet, but insist on constantly whining from the sidelines and sniping. Your straw men could not threaten me in the slightest.

Excuse me, while I post good 'woke' media, i.e. media that happens to be woke, but isn't designed to be shoving it down your throat.
It's literally called the subjective theory of value. Because people don't have objective values of things, they have subjective values of things, and that's what they base their purchases on. And that is what economists care about. It's not even context dependent. A book to a book seller is worth somewhere between what they bought it for and what they sold it for. But for the buyer, it could be priceless trove of fond memories. That's why prices are subjective.
Oh looks like it's pro-cannabis, sex workers and cross dressing. 😢
Yeah, because it was bad. But it can be done well, which is the point I'm making. They could at least give us good propaganda.
"People buy water more when they're thirsty, therefore theres no such thing as bad TV shows" has got to be the most bizarre attempt at apologia I've heard in a while.
Not actually what I'm claiming. You can say that a segment of the population has shit taste, or you can point out that something doesn't sell well, and hence the stuff is shit. But subjectivity is how humans actually interact with the world. Different people value things differently, and neither of them are wrong. If I have an emotional story about a rock, that might greatly increase its value to me, but not affect you at all. That doesn't make me or you wrong about its value.
The Boondocks are definitely worth it, and it's a great time to bingewatch. Very woke, but also very funny.
I'll check her out. But I do like contrapoints campiness. The outfits are amazing, but probably not for everyone.
Like it or not it's the ground you've decided to defend.
Completely meaningless. If people have shit taste, they're wrong about what they like. No amount of people deluding themselves into thinking eating feces is a good thing actually makes it true. No amount of sales makes Twilight a good story, no amount of votes makes genocidal death camps acceptable. No amount of supposedly earnest belief that shooting a baby is good makes it so. There is correct, and there is incorrect. To say that most people operate under some level of delusion is not to assert that the delusions are "true".
Nope, I never claimed that. You are strawmanning me/putting words in my mouth. What I actually said:
Lol. Either they like it or they don't. You can't be wrong about what you like.
A certain coffee bean says otherwise. Maybe you don't like the taste, but others do.
From the perspective of sales, it was great, which is what I was talking about. From the perspective of people who read and enjoyed it, it was good.
Those votes means that the camps are acceptable to the people who voted for it, so it sorta does, it's just not moral. Really bad choice of words there. Maybe you were looking for not acceptable to you? Almost like 'acceptable' might be.... Subjective?
You can make an argument for Hitler, but I'll leave you this.
You cited the fact that people require different things at different levels of demand as evidence that there are no objective values, which is insane.
Yes you can. It's wrong to like eating children, it's wrong to like eating shit.
All you have is meaningless, pedantic word games, then? If an elephant were to pass a steel ingot through it's bowels, I suppose you'd insist that anything forged out of the ingot was made of shit? We've reached peak bad faith with that silly comment.
And from the perspective of objective quality, it's dogshit. Plenty of people might have incorrect, stupid feelings about twilight being good, but this is because they're stupid, not because Twilight is good.
"It's just not moral" Mr. subjectivist, you cant use that phrase and expect me to keep a straight face.
What a meaninglessly nihilistic and empty worldview you chose to defend, in perfect alignment with Post Modern nonsense. Values do not arise from nothing, they are not arbitrary.
I wouldn't say that's unique to woke films, just bad films. The problem with bad woke films that is different from bad films is that they send the message that future films in the franchise will also be bad. That's why The Last Jedi killed off Star Wars.
If by Post Modern nonsense, you mean basis of capitalism, sure. But I don't think you want to have a productive debate here, so I'll just stop now.
