hi my name is dominique, i like a bunch of tv shows and music and i often mix these two up! looking for friends to talk about torchwood | nonbinary that goes by they/them
i still get amazed at how people truly think capitalism breeds creativity and good art, though that's systematically impossible. It makes no sense AT ALL, it's pretty simple to see why:
The essential, most basic thing that defines capitalism in its very core is: profit. Any single person on the planet agrees that capitalism's most primal goal is to achieve profit.
So when you put a capitalist company in charge of creating art, it still strives for profit. You may think that means it strives for good art, because everyone universally likes good art, right? Well, unfortunately, that's not how it works.
Art is a very subjective field. What I mean is that there isn't a categorical formula for creating it. You can absolutely tell the difference between trash and a masterpiece, but you cannot know if it's good or bad art before creating it.
That represents a BIG risk, and one that companies are not willing to take. So what can you create that will never fail to peak people's interest? It's simple: ask them.
That's the ultimate reason why capitalism doesn't create good art, or any art at all: because it's more profitable to follow trends than to create them. This is why you haven't seen anything really new on TV since the 2010s, why there are only either franchises or remakes in theaters; it explains disney's live actions, the hundreds of sitcom reunions/revivals, celebrity cameos and much more.
Look, this is probably going to end up as an unpopular post, because God knows the level of brainrot capitalism and fast consumption caused in people's brains, but I'd rather not get TV shows for a while if it means writers get their rights defended and recognized.
Entertainment can't come at the cost of fair pay, healthy work environment and ethical practices.
lacking dimension of space. hes literally adhd. its not even coding anymore he just is.
thanks torchwood books for confirming jack harkness is the WORST driver ever, so reckless and he just parks the car everywhere he wants, like literally in the center of streets or bridges, he doesnt care he owns the city
whenever I take a train (whether that be a tube or long distance) I tend to sit on the floor if most seats are taken, I also sit down at the platforms if I have to wait for more than like 10 minutes
now I was wondering whether that is socially acceptable (in theory, not because I care) and since all of my friends are autistic and thus largely don't care about social rules I can't get straight answers
so, dear tumblr, please tell me
please reblog for larger sample size, thank you <3
you can also add your nationality in the tags if you like in case there are cultural differences :)
Sometimes the rats in my brain come together and start yelling “YEARNING” and in trying to appease them I ask “FOR WHAT” but they are too small so all they can say is “YEARNING” which is a very big word for such a tiny creature, even collectively
if someone feels confused about why there are two presidental comissions for brazil's president at the COP 27
this will sound stupid but its the truth: one of them is Lula's, who won the elections this year against Bolsonaro
the other is from our ACTUAL president, Bolsonaro, who didn't go to the COP. i KID YOU NOT hes been having a self esteem crisis since he lost the election and hasnt showed up to be the president ever since
our country is going straight to fucking mayhem because our president is throwing a tantrum. yes. i dont wanna talk about it.
