Good on her for owning upto it and him for not making it awkward.

- Yeah usually they double down and look way worse. I can appreciate that save
I still think her response is a bit shitty…

Why do you need to be “qualified” to talk about a character arc??

Like, it’s not some obscure term that only film critics know or something only they get to have an opinion on… Seems like some unnecessary gatekeeping.
- It's Twitter so everyone is required to be unnecessarily rude
  
  Yeah I had Twitter for all of 20 minutes until I realized that it was all just pure vitriol. I deleted Facebook because I thought it was too bitchy. Twitter was another beast entirely.
  
  You mean X?
- She may just be pointing out how buzzwords seem to explode throughout the internet, like when someone mentioned boiling a frog in a pot and now someone shares that exact metaphor in every 1 in 4 threads.
  
  And it isn't even true.
- You're only allowed to discuss topics you have PhD on.
  
  We need to wall off all discussion about all topics to certified experts because democracy works best when no one understands how anything works.
  
  I mean if we're talking about vaccines that could be considered a legitimate point. But we're talking about art.
  
  I know you're being sarcastic but still

- It was an attempted ad hominem attack which backfired on her. A stupid argument in the first place and even more stupid because she got it wrong.
- I'd go much further, unless you're citing yourself as a primary source for a fact, citing your credentials isnt very impressive to me.
  
  Ideas matter - the dumbest SOB can come up with great ideas, and the smartest one can come up with dumb ones. And job experience most definitely doesn't make your opinion valuable - I've seen way too many people bad at their jobs for that
Admitting you're wrong on the internet is so rare. And that's sad to me.
- Just admit you're wrong then.
  
  I admit I'm wrong all the time. What in specific would you like me to admit to being wrong about?
Oh yeah, I know someone who named her kid Khaleesi. Oh dear.

But let's be honest if you're going to call your kid Khaleesi that kid was always going to grow to be a stripper. Poor kid. She is going to be in high school before she learns how to lean to spell it.
- Just to be nit picky: Khaleesi was a title, like queen or chieftess. The character was named Daenerys Targaryen. So they would technically have not named their child after a character.
  
  Its like calling your son King then.
  
  Name one other Khaleesi.
  
  But no one is going to see it like that, are they? They're going to think about poorly written psycho dragon queen
It’s always fascinating to me how people use twitter like a social media platform instead of alerting/breaking news/flash messages system.
I was taught what a character arc was in 9th grade english class. It's not a thing that exclusive to people who write for a living.
The concept of character arcs is also pretty well known, so it's not exactly an intellectual flex
Wait, what happened with Dr Zoid?
- He often scuttles away going "whoopwhoopwhoopwhoop"
Yeah I am okay with Twatter dying.
yeah kind of a dumb response to begin with so it's good she realized
Ah whoob whoob whoob indeed sir a whoob whoob indeed.
