Even when it comes to satire, I try not to make assumptions on any value judgements that may or may not have been made by any film. I like avoiding that socio-political commentary layer of reading movies, unless it's to empathize (but not on any moral level per se). I much prefer keeping my thoughts confined to a diegetic level, where it's not that Tyler's the worst person because he's a foodie -- he commits foul after foul and it pissed off the wrong person. I can understand that sort of dynamic and see where both sides are coming from. Tyler's super enthusiastic, Slowik is super over it

Because when we use the term "worst person" can we really say it was the foodie? With those incriminating fajitas?
