my least favorite take ever in the history of mankind which i see over and over, which i wish would finally just kill me already, is the idea that enormous corporate pop culture (marvel, etc.) is good and proletarian since anything deeper or more obscure is "elitist"

correct statement:
- artforms traditionally gated behind financial and geographic requirements (e.g. opera, Broadway) can enforce a cultural class divide

incorrect statement:
- the working class are all dumb-dumb dipshits who can't handle anything more complex than IRON MAN 2
