Seeing discourse over people’s behavior in movie theaters is so weird to someone who does not see the point of going to movie theaters in general

It’s like. Everyone on every side of the argument sounds to me like someone yelling “I paid to eat my dinner in the communal misery and torture pit! if you are going to act that way in the communal misery and torture pit, maybe you should go eat dinner AT HOME instead of in the communal misery and torture pit” and yet none of them treat this as a serious option, it’s hilarious

I know that theater profits are a big part of the reason movies even get made and so by not watching them in theaters I’m probably dooming the whole movie industry, but hey if the current movie industry is doomed then something else might grow in its place, and it might even involve selling movies in a format that doesn’t require internet or a subscription service to watch and the money from it actually goes to people who worked on the movie. That would be kinda cool and I would totally watch movies then, at least sometimes
