When somebody ends an argument by angrily telling you to go read a book, and you do, the book usually confirms they're wrong.

    Because people who try to shut arguments down with this project that they can't imagine a scenario where they would actually read a book. It's the same energy as those that invoke the Bible, i.e. never read it themselves, assume it says what their feelies feel

    I love doing that. When someone tells me I'm wrong and I need to do some research and then I come back with peer reviewed research papers confirming my side.

    Yes, I'm that level of petty about our tiny disagreement.

    What's wrong with "Yeah but in the manga/comics"? Those don't seem to fit with the others.

    They seem more along the lines of "Agh, the movies don't even mention the Barrow Downs!"
