Sailor Moon is so important

what if your FATHER had the soul of a FOREST NYMPH and your MOTHER had the soul of a SJW BUTCH JOCK and YOU ended up with the soul of a FAST FOOD CHAIN MANAGER but you were TRAPPED in a high fantasy story and YOUR NAME was JON SNOW

I support the "fiction isn't real so nothing matters" mindset but tbf at a certain point it can tip over into "the curtains are just blue" territory

like yes actually there is a conversation to be had about how a characters actions are framed and how they thematically fit with the rest of the story and it can in fact reflect the author's beliefs. some authors are even trying to make a point

not all depiction is glorification but sometimes it is and you need to be able to tell the difference. not because your immortal soul will be tainted by reading The Bad One, but because you need to have reading comprehension skills

The thing about the whole "it all tastes the same to me" phenomenon is that it applies to every sphere of human experience, not just food. Sometimes a person's political awareness is so limited that they genuinely can't tell those two opposing positions apart – and while that doesn't excuse them, you can save yourself a lot of aggravation by learning to recognise when this is the case.
