I think sometimes people think eugenics is bad but its still true, like thinking that if people with certain traits have children it will change society for better or worse based upon what traits are promoted. I think its important to emphasize that eugenics is not only wrong morally it's also fake and stupid bullshit
Like eugenics was supposed to be based on the idea that "If it works with animals to select only the best ones to breed, why wouldn't it work with humans?"
well it doesn't work with animals, that's the thing. applying the eugenics ideas to domestic breeds of animals hasn't made better animals it's just made animals with more extreme expression of certain traits. turns out that when you decide which traits are the "best" and become obsessed with the genetic purity of the animals that have the "best" traits, you might well end up with some sad suffering creature like a Pug, or the Persian cats with the smashed faces that are in constant pain because their teeth and airways and brains are getting crushed by their skulls, or those meat chickens that grow so fast they can hardly even stand up after a few weeks old, or inbred race horses with tiny feet and fragile toothpick legs
like almost all traits are neither "good" or "bad" they're way more complex than that. a long tail or a long snout or a stubborn, independent personality can be good or bad depending on the situation. Who gets to decide what is a "good" trait or a "bad" trait? It's arbitrary and selecting for traits that are "good" in your opinion will often have both "good" and "bad" outcomes because the "good" and "bad" are part of each other and not separate its just part of being alive
Obviously oversimplifying everything but you get it. we did eugenics with dogs and how did that go? not very well

The era of the âAngry Reviewerâ-type channels, coupled with sarcastic, insincere trash like CinemaSins and rising media illiteracy has destroyed our means of critiquing art and media properly.
âWhy did he do that? Why not just talk/shoot them?â BECAUSE WE WOULDNT HAVE A FUCKING STORY THEN! STORIES NEED CONFLICT, ITS PART OF THE WRITING PROCESS (mostly)!
The amount of times Iâve heard someone âcritiqueâ a thing by asking that and concluding itâs because âbad writingâ makes me wanna shove my arm in a garbage disposal filled with salt. Either itâs that, or âBuhhh the story had a sad/bittersweet ending that I donât like, so itâs bad!â Not all stories are happy! And thatâs fine! Bittersweet endings reflecting on the unmoved bigger picture is part of the basis for the Cyberpunk genre; The dystopia is a bigger beast that is largely unaffected by our protagonists actions, so it serves as a warning to avoid such a dark outcome for our species.
Iâm getting off topic (I apologize, I tend to ramble), but people reeeeeaaaaally need to familiarize themselves with deeper media themes and analysis, and stop listening to critique from a fool who only got famous because people like the funny *ding* sound. (This has been your 1:00 am rant)
#im ngl im gettign kinda tired of people emphasizing ''realism'' in stories too like. stories shouldnt have to be a 1:1 reflection of reality#theyre not supposed to anyways. theyre stories#sure. people irl dont go into thought provoking monologues. but fictional characters do to forward the plot and serve the narrative#people just love being asses under the guise of critique because being an ass drives more traction nowadays i guess

"No one can love you until you love yourself" is like the worst possible way of articulating "if you don't respect and value yourself, it's very easy to become attracted to people who don't treat you right and then justify their mistreatment, so be careful."
