To be clear, I’m speaking here about questions like “Is Alien a good film?” Questions criticism sometimes addresses like “Is Breakfast at Tiffany’s racist?” or “Is there a pattern of sexism throughout much of video game history?” are quite different IMO.

Of course these things are intertwined, and we can ask how good a film can be if (for instance) it tacitly or explicitly upholds patriarchy or white supremacy, no matter how good its various elements might be. Art and criticism are complicated, y'all.

But when people said that Vincent Canby was objectively wrong in disliking Alien, Manohla Dargis, who loves Alien, went to his defense, stating that Canby was not "wrong about his opinion." That's what I'm talking about.
