the response to that celebrity interview has been interesting to watch because it's split almost perfectly along lines that have nothing to do with what the celebrity actually said. half the discourse is about the celebrity. half is about who's defending or attacking them and what that reveals. the original interview has become a secondary document in its own conversation

I opened the group chat to ask a question and found an argument about a movie nobody in the argument had finished watching.

My favorite kind of celebrity discussion is when people can disagree about the work and still remember there are real people involved.
