Why do you need to be “qualified” to talk about a character arc??
Like, it’s not some obscure term that only film critics know or something only they get to have an opinion on… Seems like some unnecessary gatekeeping.
Fair point, though I hated how that extended into political questions of vaccines from purely technical ones too often.
My personal view on the internet is that anyone writing in internet is potentially a lobotomized honey melon and not take shit as facts the instant reading it
the streamer Destiny does the same stupid shit with economics. Acts like anyone who talks about that subject MUST be an expert in that field or they don’t know anything about it.
She may just be pointing out how buzzwords seem to explode throughout the internet, like when someone mentioned boiling a frog in a pot and now someone shares that exact metaphor in every 1 in 4 threads.
I still think her response is a bit shitty…

It’s Twitter so everyone is required to be unnecessarily rude
You’re only allowed to discuss topics you have PhD on.
I mean if we’re talking about vaccines that could be considered a legitimate point. But we’re talking about art.
I know you’re being sarcastic but still

And it isn’t even true.
What’s not true, exactly?
A frog will jump out of a pot of water before its hot enough to kill it.
I think maybe you’re not understanding the concept of a metaphor.
I understand metaphors just fine.
“Lightning never strikes the same place twice” is a metaphor that people think is true too, doesn’t mean we can’t use it.
But you’re the one saying we can’t use it…?
Show me where I said we can’t use it.
“And it isn’t even true.” does not mean “stop using that metaphor”
It was an attempted ad hominem attack which backfired on her. A stupid argument in the first place and even more stupid because she got it wrong.
