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.

You cannot be impartial, by your nature as a living being that exists within a context, thereby your own analysis is more likely to be political, and indicative of your own bises, rather than to be illustrative of the biases or normalcies accepted by an author you're trying to analyse, by the very fact that you have the hubris to actively assume, even by some means of deduction, the internal framwork of a person far removed from yourself in peerage and socioeconomics.

You denied something nobody was claiming, and now you're comparing a trans woman saying "I think analyzing media is fun" to masturbating in public. Subtle, bye now.

The thing is nobody at pride is evaluating you to determine if you’re queer enough to be there because they’re too busy thinking “it’s so hot out” and “why is this lemonade 12 dollars?”

hahaha omg y'allllll I'm getting encased in tree sap rn what kinda pose should I fossilize in 🤣

happy pride to my trans cow best friends
