A friend on another site made a Steven Universe OC that had a Pearl-like form that's meant to look skinless, which just so happened to remind me of a specific game...

If you get extremely upset by the idea that a work of fiction can have themes, messaging, even politics inside of it, my suggestion is that you finish school. Then once you've had some room to breathe and these ideas no longer make you think of that teacher you hate, you can participate in these discussions with the adults.
This just in: some of the people mad about these ideas have been mad about them since 2014. It's like a zombie virus but instead of making you bite people it gets you stuck vomiting arguments a youtuber told you about over a decade ago. Completely impairs growing as a person in any way whatsoever. Genuinely tragic.
Analyzing the politics of a work that's meant to be apolitical is actually a really interesting exercise because it asks you to critically examine what the creator considers to be "political" in the first place. Which ideas are just How Things Are, and which ones are Political, and how is that influenced by the creator's beliefs?
For example: reading a fanfic last year, I found that the author had the main character 'preventing crime' by assaulting persons she believed were 'about' to commit a crime, largely due to their appearance. I was willing to countenance this on the assumption/hope that the author understood why this was such a bad thing, but had to stop reading the fanfic when no such engagement actually occurred, showing that the author actually associated merely 'looking like a criminal' with criminal intent and justified deployment of force. This wasn't an intended political statement by the author, but the author's politics were screamed from the rooftops all the same.

Usually this just ends up with you looking like a moron btw
Angrily lashing out at the suggestion that it's possible to do basic media analysis was foundational to the ragebait ecosystem of the 2010s, from which we got basically the entire culture of modern far right politics, btw.
I genuinely believe myself and others are being so sincere and literal when we say TOUCH GRASS
I went outside and got an education, that's where I learned that you can obtain knowledge and insight through analytical methods, then noticed that some people who sit on the internet yelling at strangers get really mad about that constantly.
Ignore the idiots. A lot of things that 'aren't political' are mindlessly bigoted or pro-colonialism and people don't like to admit it.

Embrace from Behind
Having traveled far from his northern European homeland in pursuit of wealth and adventure in early medieval West Africa, this Saxon gentleman has fallen for the charms of a local maiden, whom he is embracing from behind here.
I've been going through another creative block for a few days, so I wanted to do something simple to break myself out of it.
"what did students do before chatgpt?" well one time i forgot i had a history essay due at my 10am class the morning of so over the course of my 30 minute bus ride to school i awkwardly used by backpack as a desk, sped wrote the essay, and got an A on it.
six months later i re-read the essay prior to the final exam, went 'ohhhh yeah i remember this', got a question on that topic, and aced it.
point being that actually doing the work is how you learn the material and internalize it. ChatGPT can give you a short cut but it won't build you the the muscles.
I think of an art teacher I had once who said he used to be terrible at drawing hands until he bought a book with 100 pictures of hands shown from various angles and drew each hand in the book 10 times. Magically, after drawing 1,000 pictures of hands, he wasn't bad at drawing hands anymore.
The reason OP could bullshit a decent essay in a 30 minute bus ride is because OP knew how to write and craft a well-reasoned analysis thanks to a childhood full of writing and critical thinking practice.
Feel like I'm transforming into one of those reddit assholes, but this genuinely is just a "skill issue" and you really do just have to "git gud."
