As a general rule of thumb, I'm not impressed by critiques that tell me something is terrible because of what it resembles, not because of what it actually is.

The film is about the goddamn narcotraficantes — not exactly Mexico's best foot forward, you know? I don't think it's any less progressive than a reviewer from 1970s giving The Godfather a pass for at least trying not to demonize Italians.
Maybe he's afraid of having his native people misrepresented on film. The appropriation of douchebag culture by high-pH society is a very sensitive issue. While this blatant doucheploitation film could easily make millions of dollars, many real douchebags can't even afford deodorant. Think about it, won't you?
We've got a real conservative thought leader right here, I can tell.
Call me a vile liberal intellectual, but I'm pretty sure you can't convincingly reject all possible criticism of this episode in just 18 words.
You know, buddy, maybe conflating having basic respect and consideration for transgender people with "deifying" them is exactly the sort of behavior that makes allies like me skeptical about… whatever the hell you are.
IT TURNS OUT… IT'S MAN!
The profession of Internet psychiatrist has advanced to such a fantastic degree that a complete and accurate diagnosis of a patient's personality can be made from a still photo.
I can understand the concern. But are you familiar with Channel 101? Trust me, Justin Roiland is used to this… :)

Well, I think you might be kinda misconstruing the purpose of the article. But on the other hand, if that's the case, you've actually created a perfect example. So what you've *actually* done is created a mathematical paradox that will destroy the universe. Thanks a LOT. :)
Yeah, how dare she make a casual comment about her own work on her own Twitter account, that narcissistic bitch! Only thanks to insightful individuals such as yourself was this exposed as the blatant marketing gimmick it was surely intended as!
"Make time," huh. How long do you think it takes to write a tweet?
I'll give your B a 9.7, your A+ a 9.3, and your A- an 8.6. Well done.
Topeka is a scary town, film mecca or not. *nod*
*rolls up sleeves* Okay, time to start spamming AA Dowd's twitter account with spoilers in retaliation…
"Today on State The Obvious, we interview Wee Willy, who has discovered than when you compress a two-paragraph argument down to five words, it loses its sophistication. This will be a five-part series, so join us tomorrow when Wee Willy will deliver a 22-minute lecture on how rain gets you wet."
Well, if you're to put him on a pedestal like that, no… nobody else is ever going to be that guy you put on a pedestal. Not sure why this is a non-trivial observation.
"…unless we separate him from the key first."
I don't remember kids ever actually taking over the high school in that film, and there's nothing about it on the Wikipedia plot summary as far as I can tell?
