But as regards vids, please don't box them into some notion of what you think media fandom looks like, especially if it's one as tiny as this one sounds.
You keep reacting as if I'm saying that vids are doing something wrong when they don't meet my expectations, when I think I've been fairly clear that all I'm saying is that they didn't meet my expectations and I'm not sure how to approach them. No matter how explicitly I say, There's nothing wrong with this approach; I'm just not sure I like it, and I'm not sure why, you come back with comments criticizing me for not being sure I like something, which feels like a personal attack and does not help me to understand your point or articulate my own better.
I am getting kind of upset that you are turning the statement "The LoM vids I saw didn't hit my hot buttons" into "Stop boxing vids into a corner!"
Both modes of analysis may occur in both types of fandom, but they are not equally privileged or equally common there, based on my experience in lit and media fandoms.
We can have a discussion about what different kinds of fandoms do, and whether there is any difference in them besides the object of fannishness, but if so, I think we should separate it out from the discussion of vids in general or LoM vids in particular, because I am tired of getting jumped on for not liking a couple of vids and not having a perfectly articulate explanation of my complex reaction to complex works of art.
