    I've had several arguments about game of thrones and the voyeuristic depiction of sexual violence in the show only to have defenders tell me that's how things were back then. When talking about fiction with dragons and zombies

        It would be a lot better if these creeps just said what they wanted with their whole chests. But don't try to bullshit people into thinking it's high art.

            A reason why the humanities and media criticism are important. I guess creeps isn't the right word, but definitely 'blue curtain' bros. No awareness of media and context.

            Like these stories are being written by living people. Their choices deserve examination and consideration

                It's like yeah academia sucks as it is right now, but knowing what art is doing is important, especially for leftists. We talk a lot about aesthetics substituting politics in mainstream conversation, but we need to be able to articulate what aesthetics are and how narratives work.
