Do you the think the widespread use of "pleb" and "patrician" on boards about fiction/media stems from an infectious desire to assert superiority/inferiority based on media consumption OR it a viable way to expedite conveying the quality of a work?

Yes

The former, and that's readily apparent to anyone who's browsed /mu/ or /tv/ for extended periods of time

It's funny that /tv/ love to use the pleb/patrician and flick/kino dichotomy yet threads about capeshit dominate the board.

Plebs should know their place, do you even realise how awful /lit/ would be without unironic elitism

I believe anyone who thinks the former is trapped in an inferiority/superiority game and will derive pleasure (feel superior) for recognizing this feeling in other; meta superiority. This thinking would have made sense as little as 6 years ago.

It's a much deeper thing because, taking an actual meme producing board like /tv/ for example, their use of pleb/patrician extends from knowingly using it for 'babby criterion' which could be called irony but also using it for something as obscure as elevator footage or grainy security cam footage in a shopping mall. As with all memes it requires a certain investment, you have to buy into its meaning before it actually gains any meaning. You have to accept it as it is totally before you can make sense of it.

That's a rather "plebian" thing to think.
