Atleast the modern media

2020-02-02 12:20:41 UTC  

Anyway, I've spent enough of my time and attention pondering rape and its cultural position, I feel blemished by spending my attention on something that foul

2020-02-02 12:20:47 UTC  

Yeah that's shitty writing

2020-02-02 12:20:54 UTC  

They do that for gay people too

2020-02-02 12:20:54 UTC  

I believe what Daniel is saying is true if theres no fundamental ground for the rape in a movie or show there’s no need for it at all does progress the story of not then not needed

2020-02-02 12:21:04 UTC  

that's what i mean by it being fetishistic

2020-02-02 12:21:21 UTC  

if it doesn't add anything to the character or the story, it shouldn't be there

2020-02-02 12:21:23 UTC  

Make it their whole personality which makes it feel like people are pushing the gay agenda

2020-02-02 12:21:30 UTC  

That applies to everything

2020-02-02 12:21:34 UTC  

yes absolutely

2020-02-02 12:21:34 UTC  

See JK Rowling

2020-02-02 12:21:40 UTC  

if it's not relevant, don't add it, ever

2020-02-02 12:21:50 UTC  

but it's even more shitty when it's something as serious as rape

2020-02-02 12:21:54 UTC  

and they just.. blow it off after it's done

2020-02-02 12:21:58 UTC  

I get it

2020-02-02 12:22:02 UTC  

That's fucking shitty

2020-02-02 12:22:17 UTC  

you know elsa gate

2020-02-02 12:22:18 UTC  

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

2020-02-02 12:22:20 UTC  

Though I really need examples of media so I can appreciate the point better

2020-02-02 12:22:24 UTC  

Yes Elsa gate

2020-02-02 12:22:35 UTC  

If it’s to develop a character I’m fine with it if not then I watch something else

2020-02-02 12:22:37 UTC  

just the concept of people pushing inappropriate themes on children to desensitize them to hard themes

2020-02-02 12:22:40 UTC  

That's exactly what I was thinking when you talked about making rape a fetish

2020-02-02 12:22:41 UTC  

like scat, rape, gore, abuse etc

2020-02-02 12:22:45 UTC  

Yes

2020-02-02 12:22:47 UTC  

i believe it's thje same concept

2020-02-02 12:22:54 UTC  

especially shows aimed towards teens right now

2020-02-02 12:23:01 UTC  

Yes

2020-02-02 12:23:06 UTC  

See 13 reasons why

2020-02-02 12:23:13 UTC  

The book was already a shitty one

2020-02-02 12:23:17 UTC  

Then they made it a show

2020-02-02 12:23:25 UTC  

i watch a lot of teen shows and they're FULL of directionless violence, drugs, sex

2020-02-02 12:23:26 UTC  

Then they made 3 fucking seasons about it

2020-02-02 12:23:32 UTC  

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

2020-02-02 12:23:34 UTC  

again it's okay if it's central to the story and it's shown realistically

2020-02-02 12:23:56 UTC  

Although I'd say euphoria has kind of integrated the vulgar parts for a narrative

2020-02-02 12:24:10 UTC  

Exactly

2020-02-02 12:24:17 UTC  

Like breaking bad or Euphoria

2020-02-02 12:24:39 UTC  

Has drugs and violence and sex, but made it a plot point

2020-02-02 12:25:00 UTC  

Instead of just putting scenes for the hell of it

2020-02-02 12:25:10 UTC  

Same for modern pop
