Idrc if you wanna find the politics in every piece of media you consume but personally i dont really care to all the time like idk. Like idk sometimes i just wanna enjoy shit w/o constantly thinking about the underlying politics or whatever? Sometimes its hard to ignore if its super rw based but still, a lot of other shit i just feel like im investing more energy into this shit than was intended for most ppl like idk. The underlying political implications of spirited away. Idk i just dont really care lol

#its a movie about an emotional journey so uh thats kinda my focus there bud #also ngl it does feel like ppl bring up this argument so they can keep coming to conclusions abt what the creator meant by whatever #when sometimes its not for that reason or not that deep. idk. i do feel like some of yall are married to being paranoid that whatever ur #consuming will somehow make you take on entirely different politics?? idk. but ill be real consuming things w not perfect politics only #really solidifies in my head that im right when i *do* actually think its worth psychoanalyzing. or maybe i end up neing wrong #in my assumptions. either way. im ok w critical thinking and then also not feel this weird need to shit on the media constantly #like i loathe family guy. some of the jokes are funny. most of the show is horrible. i dont talk about it bc i dont care.#im sorry lol like. what do you want from me #ive already thought about what about the show i dont like. its politics etc. and i dont watch it. but thats bc its kinda hard to ignore #the constantly shitting on everyone energy of the show. w other shit like idk. dora or something like?? im not spending my time #looking for the political flaws really?? probably there to learn spanish lol #ig i personally find tearing apart media all the time and finding its flaws to be like. a hobby people engage in. but they seem to see it #like as... political action..? ig i can see that being good for something like harry potter or whatever. but sometimes its like idk what u #guys fuckin want from me. you want me to analyze every fucking thing i watch always and forever? because for me the problematic and #off putting politics come off bery obviously when they come up. but as far as a lot of childrens shows go? idk. ig id be more focused #on the plot than the politics..?#ig its bc i kinda feel like... this isnt political action to analyze media all the time.......#i think a better use of your time is learning what you can actually do to change peoples minds to be more progressive personally?#ig if you do that w a piece of media often co opted by rwingers or something like that then its cool but idk #ig i worry about shit like. 'spongebob is a fascist' type takes lol. ig i dont feel like this is like... a great way to move ppl to the #left. esp since the only ppl who are gonna read your media analysis on tumblr is other leftists who already agree with you :|
