the cake is a metaphor
Y’know, it strikes me that the whole “not every story is about you, but that doesn’t mean you can’t like it” thing is really no different a principle to liking birthday cake. As in: even if it’s not your birthday, you can still enjoy a slice or three - the more the merrier, even! It just means the actual party is for someone else, and even if the cake’s not your favourite flavour, you should be happy the birthday person is having a good time – but if they’re upset with the cake, then explaining why they’re wrong is probably a dick move.
And everyone deserves to have a choice of cake on their birthday, right? Which means that more variety is definitely better than less! I mean, I personally think carrot cake is a literal crime, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to bewail the state of the cake-making industry if it suddenly comes into vogue, and I’m sure as hell not going to boycott any bakery that sells it. So long as I can still buy some white chocolate caramel cheesecake, the fact that it might not be winning as many prizes as it was five years ago isn’t the same as having it smashed from my trembling hands by a bunch of rabid confectionery purists.
So, you know. Live and let cake.
