Antis and the Jaws Effect

So apparently, the anti movement is now citing the Jaws effect as a reason why Morally Bad Fanworks Make People Do Bad Things In The Real World, and I’m just… honestly staring into the camera like I’m on The Office, because yes, the Jaws effect is a salient example of how fiction - or rather, reactions to fiction - can have an impact on the real world, but it demonstrates exactly the opposite point to the one antis think it does.

Because when Jaws came out, sharks weren’t the ones reading it. No humans reacted to Jaws by saying, “oh, fucking SWEET, seeing this enormous shark murder people in a book/film means it’s totally okay for ME to murder people.” No: what happened was, people looked at Jaws and said, “wow, this completely fictional story about a shark doing murder must be STONE COLD FACTS, and therefore justifies KILLING EVERY SHARK,” to the point where actual science about sharks was ignored and their populations were decimated and it’s taken us literal decades to walk back even a fraction of the harm done by shark-fearful zealots.

The Jaws effect doesn’t support the claim that dark, squicky or otherwise problematic fanworks can turn people into predators. It’s evidence that, when reactionary people confuse fiction with reality and use their fear of the former to justify acts of persecution in the latter, there are terrible, widespread consequences that do nothing to mitigate the thing they were actually scared of in the first place, but which have a toxic cultural half-life regardless. 

It’s evidence, in other words, that the anti approach to things is a goddamn bad idea.

This reminds me of a party I went to last year. I was standing with some friends, chatting, and someone said something that indirectly implied that sexism exists. Some trivial recounting of the basic facts of daily life for most women. Something so mild, so uncontroversial, so mundane that I don’t even remember what it was. 

Suddenly, this man standing on the outskirts of our conversational circle piped up with “actually, I think men are more discriminated against than women these days.”

 All conversation died.

I turned to look at him and he had this smug, insufferable grin on his face, relishing this moment, expecting us to waste our time and energy refuting this ridiculous thing he had just said.

The Devil’s Advocate was among us.

And, in my mind, I saw the next 15+ minutes playing out. The parade of facts and statistics in a vain attempt to defend ourselves, our gender, and to prove that misogyny is real. The glib, snide denials from some shithead who is getting off on our pain and frustration. The Gish Gallop of bullshit that would take a whole evening to properly dismantle. It was depressing and overwhelming. I hated it. I had to kill it before it began.

So I looked him dead in the eye and I said “OK,“ shrugged, and just walked away. 

Nothing I have ever said to another human being has ever been so crushing. As I walked away, I watched the smug grin vanish and confusion and anxiety set in. The rest of the group turned their backs to him and carried on as if he had never spoken - as if he was invisible. He was still staring at me when I walked over to another friend and told her what he had said. I pointed him out for her and made direct eye contact with him while we both laughed.

tl;dr: Don’t feed the troll. Let it perish, cold and hungry, in the wasteland of your indifference. It is weak and you are strong. Live your best life.

Fun fact, the DVD box sets have an option turn off the laugh track and it makes it a much more somber and enlightening social commentary. Cause it may be set in the Korean War, but it’s really about the Vietnam War.

Why do we have gay straight alliances and not 100% queer only spaces for queer youth…………? Why must the straights be included…………………………….?

[punkinspicelattes]

because GSAs allow closeted LGBTQ youth to join without outing themselves

When a game system doesn’t have a specific term for the GM, insist on being called “Story Mom”.
