The word “slop” is mutating so fast I’m having serious trouble keeping up with what it means from day to day. I saw a movie referred to as “quality slop” to mean something like “oscar bait” and I’ve fully given up on trying to make sense of it.
But if somebody did mean it seriously, like they were actually upset, one, I would make fun of them, and two, I would think that what they think they’re gesturing at is a kind of insincerity, or inauthenticness, by calling the “quality” film factory-made.
How does that make sense… It’s sort of like how conservatives think that woke lefties only pretend to care about civil rights as a rhetorical tactic to use against them.

That may have been a joke.

If you’re not getting it, you’re simply not slopping hard enough. Slop is streets ahead in terms of terms.
