Eh nvm bad post
#if you had the misfortune of seeing it it was the one about fandom
#I realized after posting it’s really just policing
#the real thing i am frustrated with that resonated is just the commodification of artists work
#you know like content culture
#makes sincere engagement with complex storytelling nigh impossible these days
#like someone I knew the other day went to the spiderverse movie
#and directly compared Hobie Brown to Hobi from bts based on name alone
#and that made me lose my mind a little bit
#anticapitalist is not alike to the epitome of capitalism
#like I was into kpop for a while I admit
#but like it is the epitome of capitalism and commodification of human beings and art
#and Hobie Brown is LITERALLY AN ANTICAPITALST PUNK
#jhope is not an anticapitalist if he was he wouldnt be in one of the biggest money making industries in the entertainment industry
#hopefully this doesn’t result in an inundation of kpop fans justifying jhopes status as an anticapitalist because um
#no thank you
#anyway there’s my adjusted angry rant
#I think letting people enjoy stuff is fune so long as it doesn’t result in the erasure of the deeper important messages
#like I think it’s genuinely disrespectful to ignore themes that deal with oppression and violence in favor of uwu big booby or whatever
#don’t erase marginalized voices in your enjoyment of a fandom
#like if the media is asking you to think
#maybe try that too and don’t just commodify their work and benefit from it while ignoring their efforts to say something that’s important
#don’t benefit without respecting it
#because lets be honest
#fandom is one of the most potent ways to get more people to look at your work
#theres a reason artists and writers put out fanfics and fanart so fast after a release
#because it’s a good injection of views when you ride every popular media wave
#but it does not encourage sitting on it and thinking deeply about it
#which isn’t always bad
#but you need both
#or soon enough we’ll be unable to hear eachothers voices
