Hym "MORAL AUTHORITY!? AHAHAHA! Well, if the highest moral authority on the planet is a mental retard we are in big trouble folks! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WHAT IS EVEN THE BASIS OF HIS MORAL AUTHORITY? 'Um... Uh.. You see, my cripple HIPAA paperwork says I'm not a retard so um... Actually, it says I'm an extra special guy? So, actually, not a retard. I may have a mental retardation... And I may have bought my way into all of my positions... But-' EEEEEHHHHH! WRONG! YOU ARE A RETARD ELON! YOU RUN A SPACESHIP COMPANY AND THINK THE SUN IS MADE OF FIRE! RETARD! THAT'S WHAT A RETARD IS! DEFINITIONALLY RETARD. NO MORAL AUTHORITY FOR RETARDS!"

Rampant in "chain of command" situations --- especially the military and "mega-biz" establishments --- whereby everybody wants to push underlings around but then hastily "passes the buck" and claims ignorance/innocence when things go sour. Refers to the deplorable practice of an arrogant/dictatorial/irresponsible/ignorant a**h**e with way too much power ("authority") giving unwise/ineffective/counter-productive orders to one or more hapless underlings, brusquely refusing to listen to their urgently-beseeching appeals about the fallacy/unfairness/danger of proceeding as he told them, but then suddenly shedding all knowledge/responsibility (i.e., not admitting that he was indeed the "author" of those crazy stipulations) regarding said preposterous directives whenever s**t hits the fan afterwards as a result of his subordinates' having reluctantly-but-obediently carried out his unwisely-mandated actions.
I long ago decided to not just blindly/arbitrarily follow orders/rules/laws, no matter what position or experience or education/training that their "authors" happened to supposedly possess... I **always** use my own judgement/conscience in all my actions. Too many times in the past, I've gotten in knee-deep doo-doo MYSELF for someone else's screw-ups in reasoning/planning, only to have said "idiot in power" pull da ol' "ghost writer" AUTHORity trick on me, never admitting or even falsely denying ever having told me to proceed that way, just so that HE would not have to suffer any of the fallout from his own preposterous directives.

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."

Jackie Weaver
Jackie Weaver – if you recall the dialogue from the jaw-droppingly chaotic parish council meeting – had “no authority” to remove councillors from the meeting. “No authority at all.”
