I think the LW diaspora types are almost always doing "here's a model for understanding this thing that I like, let's talk about it" rather than "this is How This Thing Works and there is no need to consider other perspectives". A lot of this type of criticism that I see looks like expecting the latter, when there's an underlying assumption shared by the author and the people familiar with the subculture that the former was the goal.
For my own curiosity, what tension do you see between Bordieu's or Weber's work and this rando blogger's perspective?
