Jesus Christ, yeah that's a good one. What show is that even?
I've been spending a lot of time deconstructing my surroundings and the media I consume in general, and given any amount of historical context, it's wild that this is just accepted.
It really is possible to enjoy something while also allowing it to be criticized. It was something said near the start of the Gamergate era, causing reactionary rage across the western world, and it saddens me that it is still good advice not really heeded much.
I won't confirm or deny but it is remarkable how that show you mentioned turned a lot of strategic sleeping around in the books into rape scenes for the show and turned a lot of female characters that had non-prostitute or non-victim roles into prostitutes or victims.
The kneejerk statement is "just because I saw a murder on TV doesn't mean I'm going to be a murderer" as if it's a binary on/off switch between media having no effect and media mind controlling someone into a specific action.
Commercials wouldn't exist if they didn't work; why is entertainment media believed to be magically lacking any such ability to influence?

As much as I want to, I absolutely will not name specific names.
Fans of any specific treat might and often do take it personally if their favorite treat is called out.
Ah loyalty, the stupidest fucking thing people have. Loyalty to their damn treats, but fine with people wallowing in abject poverty the world over.
