the best part about coming back to tumblr is seeing nearly every blog i’ve loved since my superwholock and major DA days in 2013-2015 still posting. goodspeed, y’all, keep doing the lord’s work.

It's always disappointing when a series makes a big deal about societal and structural problems in it's setting, making readers think it has interesting things to say about the subject, only to then resolve the problems by fighting The CEO of Racism, John Racist, so that all of society's problems would then get better because they promoted a new CEO.

i think the reason "fiction affects reality" trips so many people up is because they think it means "engaging with media that depicts uncomfortable subjects will taint your soul" when really all it means is that "fiction is meant to reflect certain ideas of the world intentionally or not, and it's going affect your perception of it, if you don't go in with a healthy bit of skepticism"

[roadhogsbigbelly]

like playing a first person shooter isn't going to turn you into a school shooter, but that doesn't mean that Call of Duty isn't like. explicitly military propaganda.

or (for a more specific but also weirdly common example) enjoying horror movies isn't going to turn you into a serial killer, but if you watch a lot of horror where the killer is "a gender confused man who kills women whilel dressed in drag, because his repressed female split personality hates his attraction to women because it gives her gender dysphoria" than you should like. be a bit criticial of what you're enjoying. or something like that.

But at the end of it, the point shouldn't be "certain kinds of stories should not be enjoyed by anyone bc they will warp you" and more like "please use your brain sometimes when watching/reading/playing things because every single story has messages in it about important ideas"

Even if sometimes the message is "the author/artist etc put zero thought into this idea bc it's something people make blind assumptions about"

I don't even think you Must Perform Criticism Of Thing Or It's Bad And You're Bad

Just like, have thoughts idk, be curious about what things mean, have that be something that matters to you sometimes

[daiimonas]

I think the worst thing about the puritan culture lately is that it leaves no room for media literacy. Things that you agree with are “good and should be consumed” while things you disagree with or are uncomfortable with are “bad and should be avoided.” Sometimes it’s good to explore why those things are bad and why they make you uncomfortable. Let it make you uncomfortable so that you can learn about yourself and others. We’ll never grow as a society if we always run from bad/uncomfortable media.
