"You've discovered comedy is more popular than drama for a reason."
"Why do you keep insisting that comedy is better than drama? They're just different genres."
"I JUST SAID IT WAS MORE POPULAR NOT THAT IT WAS BETTER GOD WHY ARE YOU SO SENSITIVE LOL"
I mean maybe it's because you said comedy is more popular 'for a reason', thus implying that comedy is somehow a superior genre? That for some reason you always push people to write and enjoy slice-of-life comedies and think people who like 'drama' are somehow inferior?
Also she's only comparing 'drama' and 'comedy' as genres which is... I mean I think she
is correct in that comedies are far more populous and popular than dramas, in that true dramas aren't very common. She's seething about shows that have dramatic versus comedic elements, which doesn't define the whole work as that particular genre (nor are drama and comedy anathema to one another; not only does comedy help humanize characters in order to make the drama more impactful, but there's an entire genre called 'dramady' where you're hitting both fields).
I mean the whole argument is moot because of course she doesn't cite her sources, arbitrarily says that 'well-adjusted adults' prefer comedy (Lily of course being the most well-adjusted of adults), and then
insanely states that it's easier to make a good comedy than a good drama? Comedy is
intensely difficult as a genre if you want to make a good one; humor is so subjective that the ideal comedy has to appeal to lowbrow and highbrow humor in order to appeal to an audience. How many shitty slapstick comedy films are produced each year versus the number that are classics?
Meanwhile, comedic shows and films are also generally
way cheaper to produce than dramas. The turnaround on a sitcom from filming to airing can be as little as a week and costs a fraction of what you need for a drama series. This is even more true for animation, where the script and voicework does most of the heavy lifting and the animation can be churned out relatively quickly through use of limited stills and reused cycles versus a show with greater drama and action set-pieces. South Park can famously produce an episode in a week thanks to its limited animation versus something like The Owl House, which requires a 9 - 12 month production period.
Of course the whole argument is just because she's always locked out of the conversation and this is all cope to justify her preferences. I've said this before, but when you have sitcoms and lowest-common-denominator comedies, there isn't a lot to talk about-- you might have really enjoyed the show but the next day you'll maybe exchange a few quotes, or in present day a line will become memetic, but that's about it. But a drama (as badly defined by Lily) will have people speculating and talking for the whole week until the next episode drops. But Lily has nothing to contribute because she has no critical thinking skills (most of her material seems to be parroted from other sources, if it's not about how much she hates white males) so what can she add to the conversation about popular shows that she doesn't like? She could just be happy to enjoy what she enjoys...
But other people being happy when she isn't is something she can't stand, so off she goes to try and ruin somebody else's fun through a combination of willful ignorance and an almost admirable insistence that if she screams something loud enough it's bound to be true. I guess that's good enough for her own little bubble.
