EDIT: fwiw I hunted down this thread and it turns out that OP actually did some self-crit, which was more positive than I was expecting https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDigitalCircus/comments/1ucu9hl/jax_being_trans_and_my_opinion_as_a_cis_straight/

In my initial response I explicitly said that I liked the piece of media. Now I'm exclusively responding to the disproportionate number of people I seem to have angered by pointing out that the writing in it is extremely on the nose and obvious, which it is.
Your comments are public. I am not naive enough to believe that is only what you were saying. Attempting to paint over backhanded smug garbage about media taste not being on a high enough level as being just "expressing your opinion" on it, especially since you took the mask off and allowed the ableism fueling it to show (modlogs are public too remember), is really gross. There's a reason you kept getting modsniped.
Also let the irony escape no one that you also said all this wearing an Aqua Teen avatar, a show with such lofty mature writing as "what if a banana sexually assaulted people for twelve minutes" or "what if Hitler was a balloon and stopped the Holocaust because he liked Adam Sandler movies".
Never underestimate internet forum's ability to make you spend an obscene amount of time defending something you don't even like because the haters dislike it for the wrong reasons.
My initial comment asserted exactly one thing: that TADC has simplistic writing and that younger people probably appreciate that. After that, people started swearing at me, which is when I asserted that people shouldn't limit themselves to just watching simplistic media. After that, more people swore at me, which is when I got mad, insulted the original person, and the mods nuked my comments to that point.
My avatar was and remains a total non-sequitur.
It is not ableism to say that a person shouldn't keep consuming children's media exclusively for their entire life.
Sure let's check that.
Hmm. And then as for "After that, people started swearing at me, which is when I asserted that people shouldn't limit themselves to just watching simplistic media", someone very justifiably told you to fuck off for that very backhanded sanctimonious bit about "if your media taste is still at that level", you responded with "idk how old you are, but a millennial should be consuming media more challenging than TADC. Tell me I'm wrong." which is very much NOT just saying people shouldn't limit themselves to simplistic media, and is entirely rendering judgement.
and THAT is where the ableism comes in. This has nothing to do with "exclusively consuming children's media" or "limiting themselves to just watching simplistic media". I frankly do not care how frustrated you are at someone for committing the high crime of telling you to fuck off, you don't get to pull a Vaush and start spewing reactionary dogwater just because you deem the other person bad.
