The "Mike vs Jud" meme in the Fizz community is a funny stereotypical representation of the sorts of "enemies" of fizz and its motives.
The Jud (or jazz purist chud) is the representation of a conservative jazz purist who criticizes other musician's work very snobbily, yet in reality, their own work hypocritically indulges in the very elements they criticize. The main stereotypes of a Jud include things like "kills it in the studio, but writes horrible music" or "attacks 'instagram drummers' for playing fucking fills." A Jud typically doesn't like music that deviates *too* far from what their ears are used to, which means that the most extreme hypothetical Jud definitely would be against the fizz movement.
The Mike (or microtonal theorist) is the representation of a "music" theorist who wants to aggressively shove microtonal theory into every piece of music they can listen to with their two ears. They used to converse in their own corner of the music scene, but have slowly been infiltrating other small niches of the electronic music scene in particular. A Mike truly thinks that their own work is the peak of music innovation, and complains that music written in regular 12-tet tuning is selectively purist.
These two diametrically opposed types of people show both extremes of the scale of someone's need for innovation, yet both share the common trait of thinking their own taste in music is of the highest echelon. The Fizz community is a community that does not take pride in losing the plot. "Losing the plot" would mean caring too much about the more insignificant parts of music and inflating their importance while making fizz music. For example, making a microtonal fizz song just to be "microtonal fizz" would ignore the key principles of fizz.
