I enjoyed reading it. The creative language implies a seething rage and firmly sets an emotional and moral agenda based on a perceived sense of outrage, something a vast majority of articles these days try to avoid or hide and for that reason, it is immensely refreshing to read in an increasingly neutral, dull and grey landscape of fence-sitting rhetoric. I'm sure there's other more rational, balanced and nuanced articles but I am dead certain that's not what this particular writer wanted to convey, and the language to me seems intentionally polarising, not accidentally so. It is sure to ruffle some feathers, more so than a nuanced essay, which likely would have garnered little more than a "hm" from most people. Sometimes shouting in the street gets attention, and when you have that attention is when you hit with the logic. This is from the guy who wrote "The Wire" (appeal to authority notwithstanding) so I'm willing to lend him some credibility that he understands how to use language, and accept that he has creative freedom in expressing opinions on a subject matter which has personally affected him and other creatives in an industry he deeply respects. That is not to say I don't think that there needs to be other more balanced and informative essays written on the subject, I just don't think that this article is meant to achieve that purpose.
