#but already seeing ppl justify racism (raise ur hand if ur shocked) with ‘the story doesn’t have to hold ur hand and tell you racism is bad’

I knew y’all were gonna take ‘the narrative doesn’t have to hold your hand’ and run with it
#if the story is trying to tell you X is bad#and they don’t show it through plot thoughts or dialogue#the story did a bad job#your hand doesn’t need to be held bc the story should be guiding you through and to what it wants u to get from it#even if that means the character is lying or doing something purely shitty#but if the story is not sufficiently doing that it’s just bad writing#and depending on the issue it’s trying to tackle WEIRD#like a story trying to say abuse is bad shouldnt have to have the villain going ‘I’m abusing you and I’m bad’#but if the story also doesn’t show any effects consequences reactions etc. to the abuse properly#the story is failing at its job#and even if the story isn’t saying abuse is bad#if they’re saying an abusive relationship can look perfect#and they show a perfect relationship without any negative elements and then have some big blow up outta nowhere at the end#the story failed!#obligatory this doesn’t apply to every scenario#but already seeing ppl justify racism (raise ur hand if ur shocked) with ‘the story doesn’t have to hold ur hand and tell you racism is bad’#ok but if the racism is unacceptable in the story that should be made clear also#even in subtle ways#which they’re not doing#which means they’re failing or they’re lazy#or both
