Mostly focuses on arguments about Persona 4, but I also mention a lot of different fandoms in the process since this kind of bad argumentation exists.  The tl;dr is: an 'Objectively Correct Reading' doesn't exist, only subjective readings based on your own knowledge and life experiences, and if your English teachers said there was I'm sorry: they lied to you.  There's a reason why different literary critics and literary criticism styles exist--and they can be applied to any kind of arts, from art to film to comic books to TV shows.  So stop claiming you have the One Definitive Reading of the text (particularly when you're just trying to gatekeep minorities out of fandoms).  It just makes MIB and English Majors laugh at you.
(and also write ridiculously long essays showing how silly you are, and possibly swear because dear lord nobody's learning anything in English classes these days giles help i need some tea i joke about the state of American education in Shadowed Suspicion but really)
I enjoyed watching X-Files Jose Chung's from Outer Space while writing this though.  I recommend it.  MIB Alex Trebek is great.
Warning: covers sexism, lgbtq+ phobic writing/defense, racism (briefly) and other phobic writing/defense.

( Readers, I committed one of the classic blunders. I read the youtube comments. )

regularly scheduled post will come later, but.
Was rereading L Change the World because to date it's one of my favorite Death Note things (the movie is also good but cuts out a lot of the scenes that actually make the plot understandable), and it's surreal.  ( plot spoilers for L Change the World and the Lone Gunmen pilot )

also the number of American Girl Camp Kira ads on Death Note reactions...

today was...a day

also pointing out: I stopped watching because of the lack of any sort of development, and you can show episodes out of order and still piece together the story.  case in point: I watched the entirety of X-Files out of order, and while I have no clue of the actual order of what happened first I had a better grasp of the overall plot than some people I'd talked to who watched in the correct order.  that's not a thing for ML because it doesn't exist.  subtle is a thing that writers could use more of.  I watch a lot of anime.  Jotaro and Giorno are the best when it comes to subtle characterization and subtle character development and that's nowhere in sight for miraculous ladybug.  block me on my nonexistent twitter astruc

some of my favorite things are when people are swearing without swearing.  Kirk with his "go climb a tree" and yes, even Dante's "flock off featherface" are amazing.  You can make it sound just as insulting, just as dirty, with enunciation, and it's an awesome feat.  Runners-up are Detective Manners with his "bleepin' dead alien body" and...
well, I vaguely remember Obi-Wan having SOMETHING I used for a while (stars?  something) but that was in Episode 2, which it's been forever since I watched.
