Agree or disagree with her, there was value for readers in running up against the deep subjectivity of her writing. For me as a reader of film criticism, it's in reading those deep subjectivities that my appreciation for film has grown the most. I love those deep subjectivities.

But I still feel in games crit that even many who are progressive and want a diverse range of voices don't really want a diverse range of deep subjectivities, to really run up against the deep difference of another's experience and perspective, or to fully embrace their own.
