{{quote|''At some point during a discussion on a work in pop culture, the probability of someone stating a variation of [[MST3K Mantra|"Why can't you just enjoy it for what it is?"]] in order to dismiss critical analysis is high.''}}
When pop culture and fans intersect, there are sure to be discussion on a work's merit and message. These discussions take place on blogs, message boards and even on [[Home Page|this wiki.]] Sometimes certain subjects (such as race, gender, etc) will come up and serious analysis will take place. At some point, someone will say a variation of this question: ''"Why can't you just enjoy it for what it is?"'' This statement is usually meant to derail discussion and protect their favorite work from criticism.
