Some of yall do not know the difference between "media that glorifies Bad Thing" and "media that portrays Bad Thing and the audience has to use critical thinking skills" and its actually concerning
#for a bunch of ''burnt out gifted kids 🥺'' yall don't use those gifts of critical thinking much huh#media that contains uncomfortable topics (especially horror) is not glorifying said topic by default#killing stalking is the first example that comes to my head. it was just a horror series that had gay people.#wasnt glorifying the horrors at all. in fact it actually portrays the horrors as Bad and Not Okay At All#seeing our mc rationalizing the behaviours of his abuser due to stockholm syndrome is upsetting to us as the audience.#and yall were like ''it glorifies abuse and murder 🥺🥺🥺'' no babygirl. it contains abuse and murder as a subject.#you are just incapable of critical thought and you assume the portrayal of any subject is glorification. touch grass.#thats like watching hannibal and being like ''this show glorifies cannibalism 🥺'' it very much is not.#there was also the manga Star Lover that y'all were canceling for ''glorifying pedophilia'' and when you read it it's about A VICTIM OF CSA#like its literally about a character who is sexually abused by her uncle and this is an integral part to the story. its not fanservice.#sometimes media is created with the belief that the audience has the ability to think for themselves#and therefore should not have to a Explicitly State "hey this morally bankrupt concept is bad!''#because you should be able to come to that conclusion on your own <3#media consumption#a.txt#media and information literacy#media analysis
