The idea that fandom arguments at all involve proving each other wrong is bizarre to me. 

Somewhere along the line, we forgot that stories are about exploring human nature through our different, subjective perspectives, and not about discovering absolute truth. There are some people whom I am never going to agree with, and some whom my arguments will never be able to convince, and that’s the point. 

The point of exploring media is embracing and understanding our own human subjectivity, not trying to create a false objectivity in its stead.
