you know elsa gate
If you call yourself a writer but you prioritize pushing your political agenda over creating a good story, you're not a writer, you're an activist
Though I really need examples of media so I can appreciate the point better
Yes Elsa gate
If it’s to develop a character I’m fine with it if not then I watch something else
just the concept of people pushing inappropriate themes on children to desensitize them to hard themes
That's exactly what I was thinking when you talked about making rape a fetish
like scat, rape, gore, abuse etc
Yes
i believe it's thje same concept
especially shows aimed towards teens right now
Yes
See 13 reasons why
The book was already a shitty one
Then they made it a show
i watch a lot of teen shows and they're FULL of directionless violence, drugs, sex
Then they made 3 fucking seasons about it
And truth be told I get really tired of activists pushing themselves to center stage using any backhanded methods, for example disguising themselves as entertainment
again it's okay if it's central to the story and it's shown realistically
Although I'd say euphoria has kind of integrated the vulgar parts for a narrative
Like breaking bad or Euphoria
Has drugs and violence and sex, but made it a plot point
Instead of just putting scenes for the hell of it
Same for modern pop
Like the trash kind
i mostly don't like the idea of the stuff being brushed over as well too
Good story narrative devices are ones that start a path for the viewer to be engage
I'd say make it a proper plot point without making it too graphic or dismissive
like you'll see a teenager in a show get beaten, raped, and OD
Exactly
and they act totally normal afterwards
Mr robot is another example
There were already signs of the lead having gone through trauma
And everything is implicit
But they talk about it when it is needed
End of the fucking world
And not explicitly talk about the traumatic events
That too
yes i was actually pleasantly surprised by that
a lot of netflix shows have that kind of grotesque romanticization
