It's really funny seeing the outrageously negative takes on this. I've numerically scored a game by various aspects to clarify my stance on different elements of it, as much for me as anyone else. Do I think this scorecard is a little overdone? Sure. Do I care? Does it affect me in literally any way that someone feels like doing this? Does it matter at all?
People trashing someone for enjoying art in this way is supremely ironic. This exercise comes down to "this is how this person likes to think about things," and at no point did they make fun of anyone or call anyone wrong for feeling differently from them (they do say "other people should use this," which, sure, disagree with that, I disagree with that, that's fine). If this doesn't do anything for you, COOL, move on? It's so incredibly weird the types of people who evangelize subjectivity and personal expression in engaging in media and then make such a hobby out of making fun of other people -- the obvious hypocrisy is outrageous.
And I'm complaining about this because I've seen it so many times in the last 2 years of trying to engage with people who try to have deeper and more nuanced conversations about media. As someone who thinks about art in formal ways, likes to break down the formal properties of how art is made, and enjoys art because of deeply intricate combinations of formal elements, it's honestly exhausting to talk to people who have built their entire online personas around being simultaneously holier than thou about the nature of art while also being some of the most unnecessarily passive aggressive or fully aggressive assholes possible in a discourse on media.
Success on places like twitter (and cohost and bluesky and tumblr and blah blah blah) is predicated so much on how "good" people are at dunking on people and writing one-liners. The moral and emotional and subjective positions people claim to take while also almost professionally focusing on finding every edge to shit on and insult other people is comical. There is no moral or existential threat to this type of engaging with media, literally, it's as personal and subjective as any other approach. Nothing bad is going to happen because someone wanted to write this way.
