They pretend not to understand what the problem is because it's easier to tear down "implicit perverts expect perfection" vs "the creators didn't even try."

They pretend not to understand because they know they can't actually win the argument headon.
So they draw you out to explain yours in more words than is needed, waiting for a slip up they can pounce on. They even show you how they intend to do it on their shows. They wait for a minor opening, then blow it up to make you lose frame and come across as someone that can be dismissed as crazy/evil.
And if you argue against them successfully enough they shut down into "lolumad" trolling or simply calling you X label to avoid having to engage with anything you said.
One of the greatest evils plaguing us all these days is pride, and with it the lack of humility enough to say "yeah I was wrong on this" or even a simple "you clearly know more about the topic than I do so I'll leave it there." That last one isn't even an admission of being wrong, only that you are outgunned and it would only waste time.
