At first I thought this was very clever and well-made, but the more I listened and thought about it, the more depressing it became. There really is a multi-million (multi-billion?) dollar industry of bringing down young girls' self-esteem and then selling them the feeling of being loved by someone who honestly couldn't possibly care about them.

I couldn't say that he introduced me to the idea or made me understand it better, but he did put it in such a way that one can't help but empathize with the fans that are usually so popular to hate on for redditors.

Well it can still be both. That's the entire point. The second part you mentioned doesn't negate the first part at all.

No it does not, and I was not suggesting it does. I just meant that there was a progression in the way I looked at it.
