Nah, getting defensive means they ran out of talking points they've been fed and don't know how to think for themselves. It's like someone who plays EA sports game by themselves on easy and then throw the controller when they get smoked playing against another person

Not always. For example, if I were "caught" eating pig meat in a Muslim country, I would probably be defensive. Without that actually meaning that I genuinely thought there were anything bad about eating pig meat. As an analogy, you can in theory be defensive about watching Joe Rogan without genuinely thinking there is anything wrong with Joe Rogan.

Shame! It is most likely that they really don't know and are just being defensive like most people get when someone points out they are wrong.

It means they haven't faced their shadow, let alone integrated it.

Huh? Is this how people interpret defensiveness? That's wild to me. If someone told me they thought it was a good idea for them to steal all my stuff and kill me, for instance, you best believe I'm getting defensive. People get *defensive* when you *attack* something they want to defend. Edit: to be clear, all I'm saying here is that people can get defensive about something without secretly thinking its bad. I despise Joe Rogan and I think his listeners are dumb.
