#saw someone actually saying that because spn isn't a ~good show that all lit crit analysis is meaningless and we should all just stop#and then people wonder why we talk about media illiteracy and why it's a problem#and they shamed text posts for existing because idek people aren't supposed to discuss their feelings and analyze stories#spn sucks (according to them) and therefore everything is pointless and we all have to join in their nihilism#a show whose writing staff was well versed in literary device techniques and was telling a story with complex themes and characters#isn't 'worth metaing about' because they said so#the anti-intellectualism is ironically going hand-in-hand with media snobbery#that thinks a genre tv series on a shoestring budget can't say anything meaningful#so once again i'm pondering this entire sub-culture in Fandom generally that refuses to tolerate unironic enjoyment of spn#and feels this drive toward a false sense of intellectual superiority while at the same time anti-intellectualism shaming of lit crit#dot trolls fandom
