Coup Of The Author

When an audience either applies 'Death of the Author' or goes against the personal desires of said author. Often while this person, group or company is still alive.
This can include 'new cannon' being ignored, 'fan cannon', copying a game they want to remove, or adding mods more entertaining than dlcs, etc.

"Hey where can I get that horror game P.T?"
"Oh, they pulled that off the shelves for some reason. Pretty stupid if you ask me, its a great game"
"Really?"
"Yeah, luckily a bunch of people just copied the data and now spread it for free, real Coup of The Author."

death of the author

A pretentious, postmodern jerk-off idea, popular among some academics, that says that the creator of an artistic work is irrelevant to the work, that their thought processes and intentions in creating the work don't matter, that they are not an authority on the very thing that they created, and that YOU, the passive consumer of the work, are more qualified to know what the work is about than they are, who put tons of hard work and effort into creating it.

Who does this "Ray Bradbury" person think he is, saying that Fahrenheit 451 is about how nobody reads books anymore? *I* say it's about censorship, dammit! What does HE know, he only wrote the damn thing! Death of the author says that creators are just passive, empty vessels through which the Divine Muse speaks!

Hym "MORAL AUTHORITY!? AHAHAHA! Well, if the highest moral authority on the planet is a mental retard we are in big trouble folks! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Immoral Authority

Authorities who preach moral values but practice immoral acts and who often live a secret hedonistic lifestyle. In some cases, Institutions like churches and political parties can create institutional barriers that help enable immoral acts.

The children in the Sunday school had a very hard time understanding the difference between a Moral Authority and an Immoral Authority. Some of the students found it especially hard to understand, especially those with first hand knowledge.
