When we dumb things down for the lowest common denominator, we're just left with slop. I understand the economic incentive to reach the widest audience possible, but I wish our culture was better at telling idiots to go pound sand.
Maybe in the general case, but in this specific case? Inability to look past islamaphobic 'connotations' and prejudices to enjoy something like Dune seems like a affliction of idiots to me.
