I am making a law.

It is called the Maybe You Should Just… Non Sequitur Condescension Corollary.

It states that anyone who defends any movie, book, television show, painting, pasta dish or other creative work with the words, “If you aren’t [sophisticated/deep/sensitive/intellectual/spiritual/etc. ad nauseam] enough to appreciate this, maybe you should just go [watch/read/look at/eat/otherwise become a consumer of] [insert any critically non-acclaimed creative work of the same genre here]” thereby concedes that he/she a) cannot intelligently defend his/her aesthetic choices, b) cannot conceive that tastes may differ without either one being “wrong,” and c) is just generally an arrogant, pretentious little fucktard.

Effective immediately. Thank you.

One of the most efficient eternal argument starters is to simply confuse facts with opinions and then attack everyone with a different opinion as not having the facts. ETERNAL.
