It’s the one-size-fits-all grey jumpsuit of entertainment, if they can convince their audience that “good” means “biggest earning potential to broadest possible audience” they’ve convinced you to do half the battle for them.

When we killed the king, we replaced him with businessmen, and because we didn't kill the businessmen, they became the new kings. This coincided with a time when everything became product, and we started to identify ourselves by what we buy. Which gave businessmen the power to decide who we are.

A thing I see people try to morally justify all the time is this insistence that if something is not to their tastes that means it’s bad and should not exist, or should be revised to be more morally “correct”, but that weird media is like someone having blue hair. You don’t need to have blue hair.
