He had me in the first half, not gonna lie
the whole “fiction doesn’t affect reality” argument is actually kinda racist…
people talk about like how finding nemo and jaws are great examples but nobody ever talks about how fiction has shaped our perceptions of different racial and ethnic groups
like do you think the media has no hand in why alot of ignorant white people think africa is a desertland and not a continent of different countries, full of rich and diverse cultures, beautiful buildings and riches? or why they think asia is only japan, korea and china? when asia is also india, bhutan, the Philippines, nepal, etc?
do you think that media and fiction hasnt allowed whites to view black people as ignorant and lazy thru cartoons and minstrel shows?
like if you really think what youre seeing on tv doesnt affect reality and how people think then like. you must be fuckin stupid.there are several studies which prove this by the way. like how black children (and white girls) self esteem is negatively impacted by media.
there are harmful psychological effects on native americans thanks to sports mascots.
how about how inaccurate race and poverty images in the news effect our views on welfare?
the availability of GLB roles on TV positively impacts the gay community
and i honestly i could go on and on and on and on
i know i know water is wet, all these studies to tell you what common sense could. but like … there is very real research out there that shows fiction has a very real harmful impact on minority communities. and that positive representation has a positive effect on these communities.
so no. fiction is never just fiction. and frankly people who think fiction is just fiction can fuck off.
Wait this version is better.
this is important to spread around!!! minorities keep asking for positive representation ANYWHERE and THIS IS WHY!!!! it makes us feel like we mean something, like we belong! give me a trans poc disabled kid who is a really skilled hacker or watever GIVE US REPRESENTATION
