There's this thing they do, where they sort of just decide they want to anoint something as "really good" and "celebrate" it without the sort of organic process of artistic accomplishment that usually generates real appreciation.
The sort of thing that is undergirded by cultural analysis pieces in the New York Times. It's that woke lesbian comic on Netflix that doesn't actually make you laugh... but does a comic really need to? "Re-thinking" comedy might be one of the two dozen headlines generated from the Netflix offering.
You see this all across identity topics -- the hero worship of some deliciously intersectional woman from 1932 that built some of the best model trains in the world when model trains were strictly a white man's world.
The problem is that it's manufactured appreciation. And it smells that way.
I'll start with a few.
