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?

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.

So actually if you really wanted to use your analysis skills you'd realize that what people are annoyed about is the implication that there's never a story or creative work they can create that can escape people like you attempting to assign political meaning to it when they just don't want that. That in fact people's presumptions about life are not, in fact, political (at best they are cultural, which is not an inherently facet of politics). And that by you people arrogantly pushing this idea you are intruding on the fact that a lot of people use fiction as escapism from politics and insisting that "urm no actually your favourite cartoon actually has politics cause no human being is 100% unbiased" is in fact, supremely fucking annoying

If your "fun" involves deliberately and knowingly doing something that annoys and irritates people then yes you are having fun wrong, its also not just about you doing analysis; if it was just that you can do that in your head, but you don't, you insist upon other people and upon their work when its clearly not welcome or appreciated. Keep your thoughts to yourself

I am talking about posting on my own blog and engaging with posts by others who are doing the same thing, and you are responding to my post. Do you understand the irony of what you just said?

Hanging out with people will make you remember you're the crazy woke friend for like. not wanting to shop at shien

okay yeah i do think your filler is off putting and your botox makes you rigid and strange to look at

I know you think it’s “feminist” to hate on women who already have self esteem and image issues (through no fault of their own, as a direct result of patriarchy) for doing something to help them cope with their fleeting youth - which may or may not have been stripped from them against their will due to years of depression, abuse, oppression, or whatever else - but the truth is that the freedom to get Botox is actually a right feminists have fought for - whether intentionally or unintentionally. Women used to get thrown away when we outlived our youth and beauty - now we have the option to prolong it and change the way we are perceived and treated by society as a whole. We ALL had to grow up too fast. We ALL have to cope with a childhood that ended too soon. I’m no less a feminist than you are simply because I choose to hold onto my youth and beauty because it helps me feel better about my own loss of innocence. This is all just another excuse to hate on women and tear us down. You’re literally letting the patriarchy win by judging women for their personal choices which harm absolutely no one. Please grow up. Not everyone is conventionally attractive or ages gracefully. Some women can cope with that and some can’t. Both deserve love and respect. Have some decency. You’re not edgy for this. You’re hating just like a man would.

I don't understand what's going on, my sims 2 game suddenly did some red flashing at me (first time ever) so I quit and when I loaded back in, the river was all grey and blocky and my neighbourhood view was extremely laggy. Now I can barely open the game and it crashed on neighbourhood view. I googled it and everything it recommends doing is already done; 4gb patch, graphics rules maker. I'm so done with my game being constantly broken. What can I do to fix this?

I copied a version of my modified graphics rules files and replaced the game's one with that and that did work to fix the graphical errors once the game is open, but now the game takes 4 business days to launch and freaks out my memory the entire time it's trying to launch (obviously that wasn't the case before)

the trick to fix it was: making sure 4gb patch was in fact applied by checking config file, making a brand new notepad file for the graphics rules and deleting the old one before pasting the new one, limiting my memory's mb use (graphics rules put it at 24k, I put it at 15k) and launching the game by running it as administrator. launched right away like it used to, no graphical errors and no crashing.
