Yet another celebrity started a war with fandom, and it’s apparent he doesn’t even understand what he was attacking (though I have no doubt the enraged overreactions only served to reinforce his opinions). However, Erik agrees that this celebrity is justified in being upset—if not in the way he handled things, nor in his attitude toward those who don’t share his entertainment preferences. Check out this week’s Short Circuits for more, then head into Discord to share your thoughts!

Yes, it’s a real thing. And while it’s typically discussed in the context of consumerism or in a business setting, it also affects our media consumption. And Erik wants to know—how do you deal with it?

For real (or at least, so he believes). Not surprisingly, Erik has some things to say about this.
