Looka

I rarely quite understand what people mean when they criticize a piece of media for being 'baby's first symbolism.' Like yes, there are cliched symbols that lose value through mindless repetition, but most of the time the criticism just seems to be that the symbolism is easy to understand? Like oh, the average audience member with the intended cultural background can understand this story without referencing an appendix of esoteric knowledge every 5 minutes. How terrible it is that this art is accessible to the plebians. How dare a creator with something to say also wish to be understood.
