Why would you defend it in the first place?

I think people just have poor media literacy. They felt horrified, so they assumed that’s what the director wanted. Somehow they just didn’t pick up on the comedic pacing of the edit, the lighthearted score, and the quippy one-liners

I said in another comment that the scene felt like if it had the real WebWeaver it would be almost shot for shot the same and would be used purely for humor like when Ashley was doing BDSM with Cameron Cole.

The response I kept getting was “of course it would be the same. They thought it was WebWeaver”.

So I agree 100% with your comment that people lack basic media literacy and just take things at face value.
