we are in a media literacy crisis
friendly reminder that characters don't need to be saints to be entertaining. and telling a story does not mean endorsement. art does not need to be all about morally good people.
IDK if this was meant as hyperbole but it's literally true:
Adult literacy is low.
Child literacy is low.
Information literacy has shifted dramatically in the last decade, but reputable information sources like research journals and factual news reporting have been unable to keep pace.
We are genuinely in a crisis of media literacy, with ever fewer genuinely factual resources available in the style and language used by contemporary audiences.
It may sound condescending, but we genuinely need to remind people, or worse, explain to them for the first time that art is not evidence of real world behaviour.
So, thank you, for this reminder. Genuinely.
You're correct:
Art does not need to feature exclusively morally pure characters. Art is not proof of the creator's secret, violent desires.

The term and concept of "rent lowering gunshots" has seeped into my mental vocabulary, and I've welcomed it there. Something I'm up to is gross and weird? Good, keeps the rent low. Keeps judgy people out. Post weird shit on your blog, do weird shit to your hair, be as fucky as your heart ever wants to be. If you're not the one making the profit, make yourself unprofitable. The aposematism of brightly coloured creatures is there to warn predators, not friends.
You have no moral obligation to make yourself palatable for those who would consume you.

Reminder that there's more sports out there than you can imagine, and if you're writing something you can come up with all sorts of semi-random feats of dexterity or endurance or whatever rather than just being like "it's basketball but with elves". I mean look at that cool shit in the video. Simple, easy to understand, but interesting.
(Important note: this is meant as "hey broaden your horizons and look at cool stuff from all over for inspiration" not as "make your fantasy or sci-fi race just a lazy and mildly racist caricature of a specific real-world culture", some people somehow get those two confused.)
tumblr might enjoy this one. humans are cognitively incapable of properly conceptualizing big numbers so itās important to find other ways to think about just how much money the wealthy have.
Wealth inequality in the United States is out of control. Here we visualize the issue in a unique way.
And people will point out: most of this money is fake. Itās theoretical. Itās an idea of how much their investments are worth and it can vanish over night because of āthe marketā. Theyāre not stockpiling an actual valuable resource somewhere, a kind of vault that we could break into to take their wealth.
But because they have this vast imagined wealth, they can decide which resources are gathered and created, how they are used and how they are distributed. They can decide that we need to build a private jet and not a new clean energy plant. They can decide who gets drinking water.
So when youāre talking about taking that wealth, youāre talking about taking all that power.

the technical term for this by the way is āfictitious capitalā

Whenever people try to tell me to ship "moral ships" I like to think about how inherently immoral it is to flirt with service workers at coffee shops where they're obliged to be nice to you so... many coffee shop AUs are like. Immoral. But given that they are a fantasy where this is instant romance without the fear of trapping a service worker in an uncomfortable situation that's tantamount to workplace sexual harassment, I enjoy the cutesy coffee shop AUs immensely.
And that's basically my attitude towards all fantasy. There's lots of things I enjoy in fantasy that wouldn't work IRL. Enemies to lovers. Sudden kisses. Miscommunications in relationships. Codependency. Fight sluts who physically assault each other while emotionally connecting.
Once you start ascribing your morals to the fiction you consume, you tend to miss the issues in even the most innocuous, innocent seeming scenarios. It's easy to judge other people's fictional enjoyment until someone points out your innocent coffee shop AU is romanticised workplace harassment.
But it's all fiction. It's a fantasy. That's why it's fine.
A lack of education around things like consent, healthy relationships, self respect and respect of others, bodily autonomy, etc, has made people think they can rely only on fiction to tell them what right - but that's dangerous. And unsustainable.
hey what's up with the "!" in fandoms? i.e. "fat!" just curious thaxxx <3
I have asked this myself in the past and never gotten an answer.
Maybe today will be the day we are both finally enlightened.
woodsgotweird said: man i just jumped on the bandwagon because i am a sheep. i have no idea where it came from and i ask myself this question all the time
Maybe someone made a typo and it just got out of hand?
I kinda feel like panic!at the disco started the whole exclamation point thing and then it caught on around the internet, but maybe they got it from somewhere else, IDK.
The world may never knowā¦
Maybe itās something mathematical?
Iāve been in fandom since *about* when Panic! formed and the adjective!character thing was already going strong, pretty sure it predates them.
Itās a way of referring to particular variations of (usually) a character ā dark!Will, junkie!Sherlock, et cetera. I have suspected for a while that it originated from some archive system that didnāt accommodate spaces in its tags, so to make common interpretations/versions of the characters searchable, people started jamming the words together with an infix.
(Lately Iāve seen people use theĀ ! notation when the suffix isnāt the full name, but is actually the second part of a common fandom portmanteau. This bothers me a lot but it happens, so itās worth being aware of.)
āBang pathsā (! is called a ābang"when not used for emphasis) were the first addressing scheme for email, before modern automatic routing was set up. If you wanted to write a mail to the Steve here in Engineering, you just wrote āSteveā in the to: field and the computer sent it to the local account named Steve. But if it was Steve over in the physics department you wrote it to phys!Steve; the computer sent it to the āphysā computer, which sent it in turn to the Steve account. To get Steve in the Art department over at NYU, you wrote NYU!art!Steve- your computer sends it to the NYU gateway computer sends it to the āartā computer sends it to the Steve account. Etc. (āBang"s were just chosen because they were on the keyboard, not too visually noisy, and not used for a huge lot already).
It became pretty standard jargon, as I understand, to disambiguate when writing to other humans. First phys!Steve vs the Steve right next to you, just like you were taking to the machine, then getting looser (as jargon does) to reference, say, bearded!Steve vs bald!Steve.
So Iām guessing alternate character version tags probably came from that.
Word for today: bang path
The use of exclamation points to distinguish between variations of a character or name
The big discourse on twitter right now is that writers going on strike or cancelling their own series are breaking an invisible ācontractā they made with their fans and all creators owe their fans a satisfying conclusion to their stories. Actually all fans owe all creators for entertaining them and if a creator says āI donāt want to perform this labor anymore,ā then regardless of the cliffhanger that leaves you with, your only response should be ātake care! Thank you for all your hard work!!!ā :)
