A term describing the idea of how a viewer should have the freedom to interpretate any piece of artistic work, for better or worse:
For example: Movies, webcomics, videogames, songs, paintings, and any other diverse piece of fiction.
Contrary to popular belief, this idea is neither a positive nor negative idea, but still, it can be use for the creative expresion and the opportunity to make new and personal creations.
For example: Giving a story to a background character, making a comedic parody of a gritty-horror story, Making an imaginative non-official sequel or prequel...
And as said before, this works of fanfiction can be used for both great good and evil: Anybody can make a beutifull piece of art to detone their intrepretation of any work, or by the bad side, they can make porn of it. (Yes, porn is bad.)

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.

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.

At what age does someone get the authority to shut shit down? If they can shut something down at 40 something, they could do the same thing at 2, and if they couldn't do it at 2, they don't have the authority to do.it at 40 something.
Authority or status is kind of like a title on a piece of paper or a plate of metal. It's about as meaningless as life itself.

You are not an authority and this is a pretty egregious violation of my privacy. If it was happening to even one of them, then, I AM CORRECT AND YOU ARE INCORRECT. End of discussion. This was the only way to prove what I knew to be true. You don't need to like how I did it. It's already over. It's been over for 8 years. I'm just waiting for the thing to catch up...
