my hot take is that certain shows do need to understand that oppression isn't solely poor and rich but goes deeper.

"Our piece of media doesn't have bigoted views like homophobia, misogyny, etc."

ok but do you understand how delicately those work together in oppression? how it is connected?

I am not saying every piece of media needs this kind of deepness and I also want to be able to engage without having to see ugly shit. but I fear if you want your media to be about classism and oppression like Arcane does and try to say how well you did it, and how deep it is and yet you only do surface level shit??? yeah you failed.

my second hot take is that Arcane needed to add stuff like this, say what you want.

My last hot take is Arcane season 2 failed because they didn't understand how oppression and class actually works, did they ever hear of the word intersectionality or is that news for them? The fact that they never reached deeper than "rich and poor" is a red flag I do not care.

#“but i dont want all my shows to be about bigotry” then watch something else #i also do NOT want everything I engage with to be like this woah crazy right?#but thats when I go look for media that is FOR THAT #not a show like arcane that WANTS to tell this story but doesnt dare to for some fucking reason #hot take #arcane #arcane season 1 #arcane season 2 #oppression #intersectionality #discussion #classism #homophobia #misogyny #idk if you dont want this stuff in your show about classism and oppression figure out something new? you have god for saken robots (bolbok)#i think figuring something out to actually show how classism works in society is not hard with all the shit you have in your show arcane #caitlyn kiramman #vi #jinx #silco #arcane critical #media #also I do want to have certain media that actually GOES deep into this i fear the public is idiotic at times #“i dont want everything to be this deep” ugh #like stop saying this about EVERY piece of media you encounter I am SO serious especially if it IS about that #go watch spongebob or something idk
