#i'm sticking with cozy romantic nonsense otherwise

[msviolacea]

I'm sure that someone somewhere is being ridiculous as shit about terms like "cozy" or "whatever-punk" just out of my vision - and they can stay there, I don't have the spoons for whatever puritan-esque bullshit might be happening out there - but please, please, can we not trend back towards "you're dumb if you would rather your entertainment be your escape from the hellscape?" opinions? Or the idea that things that are happy or fun can't also contain interesting commentary about the world?

I know it's a vain hope, we're destined to swing the pendulum from "sincere and kind" to "ironic detachment" in media over and over again, but still. Sigh.
