the prof is giving us Another mile long discussion post that i cannot cover the nuance of and that i know will provoke argument
#this shouldnt be a fucking discussion post. this should either be an irl conversation or an essay
#bc if you ask an extremely controversial question... and mandate at least 2 replies from everyone... youre gonna get dogpiled
#like. jesus fucking christ
#also i just do not give a single shit abt this topic
#'how much do historical fiction authors owe their readers the truth?' i dont CARE. i really dont care at all
#its FICTION. i think theres very little you arent allowed to do. art is subjective and extremely open to new takes and concepts
#and once we begin questioning what art has value i get real fucking worried
#now there are definitely things I PERSONALLY think would be a dick move to do and things that would be morally objectionable!
#there are things you could do in historical fiction that everyone SHOULD agree are morally objectionable!
#theres also a point at which youre just writing pure fiction too bc its so far off from historical events
#but there is NO GOOD RESPONSE TO THIS QUESTION
#i cant even define a mandatory level of research or a minimum truth value™ bc history is already fucking biased
#how would you even measure that!
#this isnt a good discussion bc theres no real answer to come to
#and im not saying all these posts need to have a Right Answer but dude. youve gotta realize this format SUCKS for this
#bc it rewards disagreement instead of conversation
#levi.txt
#also if youre reading historical FICTION and getting pissed off that it isnt a perfect 1:1 real life depiction thats on you
#if you read a book and think its all true without doing more work to prove that you deserve to fall for whatever its selling
#you are not immune to propaganda etc etc
