That's a lot of words to not provide a single example from a show of what makes "forced inclusion" different than "inclusion"

Someone asked that question two hours ago and I replied with two examples. It's underneath my comment. I'm not sure which application you're using to browse Lemmy but you should be able to see it.

I saw that but I didn't see anything about what makes inclusion "forced" in one series but not in another.

I thought I did a reasonable job of explaining the narrative distinction in my comment. Maybe you could be specific about which part you don't understand, or which part with which you might disagree?
