God I feel like a dick. I disregard out of hand the usual right wing white bullshit. I just get so fucking fixated on the fake libshit. Bridgerton! Enola Holmes 2! I don't know! fake shit like that!

Why can't liberals see? This is just commodification of their struggle! NOT ALL WOMEN WERE LIBERALS! WOMENS SUFFERAGE WASN'T WON WITH FUCKING APPEALS! PEOPLE OF COLOR WERE HATED AND OPPRESSED BY THE EUROPEANS! IGNORING THESE THINGS ARE LIBERAL WHITEWASHING!

I fucking hate liberalism! I hate the SOULLESS FUCKING MONEY GRABBING FEEL OF THIS! "HEY LOOK WE DID A DIVERSITY! GIVE US YOUR MONEY, WORKING CLASS PEASANT!"

I hate how they turn POC as stand in for white people! No real new stories, just white ones with the fake veil of diversity! JUST TO SERVE MORE FUCKING LIBERALISM AND WHITEWASHING!

YOU AREN'T BEING MORE "ACCEPTING" OR "EGALITARIAN" BY WATCHING THESE, YOURE JUST BEING MORE WHITE! MORE UPPER CLASS! MORE FUCKING LIBERAL! YOU AREN'T HELPING ANYONE! YOU'RE WIPING THEIR VERY REAL STRUGGLE UNDER THE FUCKING RUG BY DOING THIS! FUCK THAT SHIT!

I made the mistake of listening to soviet music while typing this. Also no hate against things like the Owl house, Andor, and stuff that is legitimately good and made in (what I think is) good faith.

But honestly, I think I come down too hard. I realize that due to my white culture upbringing and white class membership, I am liable to think some dumb shit and the brainworms can be there sometimes!

    Yeah I think I get what you mean, I'm only half kidding. I know I get frustrated with my lib friends and family for their choice of slop but I generally try to keep it to myself. Art is so personal that I think even the worst piece of shit liberal slop ceases to be only a soulless corporate hack job once someone cobbles together some meaning or emotional resonance in it, at least for that person. The line between criticizing the work and criticizing (even implicitly) someone's experience of the work can get very thin and it doesn't make you the good guy to make someone feel bad about a basically harmless thing they like. But holy shit do the libs try my patience
