Oh, yes. So much of this. I hate when people act like it's dumb that I really like Tv. Whatever, not all Tv is the same, and you're not even bothering to ask me *what* I like about Tv. Like, maybe I can talk about Tv more eloquently than you can talk about Mozart. Maybe not, but you don't know!

And, yeah, I am willing to get excited about all kinds of things, and to accept your excitement about them. And also, please tell me about the things you like. I don't care if it's Hellenistic sculpture or Call of Duty.

I think snobbery, especially cultural and geek snobbery, is another way of creating hierarchies and enforcing class distinctions where they really don't exist. All cultural artifacts are interesting in some way, regardless of their perceived merit and worth, and all media are capable of conveying things. I thought that was kinda a given. ;)
