Not at all. Rather, whataboutism is employed by those who cannot accept an uncomfortable truth and would rather deflect/divert attention to something else.

Also false. It's simply a refusal to allowbyou to change the subject to avoid criticism of the subject at hand.

>usually because they like the OTHER folks.

No, it's because those other folks aren't subject at hand.

>notice you can't do that with the names I mentioned.

Because you don't get to change the subject from an evaluation of this movie by this director to other movies by other directors.

I give him a pass? On what? Do tell.

What are my critiques of other directors? Which ones?

You're clearly confused.

I have plenty of critiques of movies. Few directors actually interest me.

Conversely, because I love Shy and his general brand, I have high interest in everything he makes. Unfortunately, he rarely delivers.

Split was fire. I was excited for this. Because I'm a fan, just not a sycophant who ignores his flaws.

Not, as you are, a bad caricature with an antiquated gimmick who doesn't know to have a normal, human discussion without his message board costume.

>Fox News, huh? That's easy.

And apt as fuck.

Just hold up a sign that says
>"Agree with me because he's a bad person" next time.

Yelp, doggy. You said this, not me. I love the way you project. I'm not like you. I don't do shit like appeal to the crkwd.
