I'm not so much defensive about my inclusion of short films as I am feeling like, generally speaking, I wish that short films weren't so frequently seen as lesser or even as their own category. Almost similar to the way that "foreign films" are often lumped together. There's a huge difference between Duck Amuck and something like Wasp. They are in different universes of tone and theme and even run time. Yet they would both get put under that same umbrella.
In short, the hill I'm choosing to die on is that everyone should have about 5-10% of their viewing be short films. And if you don't, um, you're doing it wrong.

I’m not sure what you’re referring to as foreign films being lumped together. Are you referencing the category? Probably not, but in case, That’s just to encourage more viewings.
I don’t think anyone, at least here, is lumping then together.
Maybe I’ll as a few short films to my viewing. Nothing I’ll count towards this, mind you, but definitely something I should consider, regardless.
