"huh whuhhh youre such a stupid child if you think fiction can influence reality its just fiction its escapism youre so stupid for thinking it influences reality" they say as I get added on antishipper lists for saying I do not want people who romanticize incest or racism near me.
i tab back into my paper on the way art was used to further propagate orientalism in the west after i see another wave of mostly-white self proclaimed leftists on social media mindlessly jerk it to sexy bellydancer outfit art, meanwhile they care not a bit for dying brown and black people in our very real world because those people are apparently just meant to be either terorrists, rapists or sexy slave fantasies in their mind.
Surely there can be no correlation between portrayal and real world systems of oppression. Surely. It's childish to think art holds any harmful notion of the author and it's culture, right? Let's go back to our escapism where those annoying minority groups don't complain, and instead fulfill their roles as villains or porn material. It's escapism, right?
