Then stop normalizing it
Then stop romanticizing it
Then stop pretending it’s “hot”
Then stop pretending it’s “cute”

will you ever understand that fiction is NOT reality

the brain reacts to fictional situtations they same way it does with real situations

a collection of links to articles about how fiction affects reality

but yeah, fiction totally doesnt impact reailty

you cant say “representation is important” and then in the next breath say that “fiction does not affect/ isn’t reality” like of Course fiction affects people, why the fuck would it make us feel things otherwise

A fictional movie caused the decline in shark populations… How the hell can people say fiction doesn’t effect reality?

impact > intent, if what you said upset and hurt a group of marginalized people you need to take a step back, recognize the damage, apologize and shut the fuck up, not bend over backwards trying to find flimsy excuses

The real problem with books-turned-movies isn’t “omg they didn’t include every single word in the book” it’s “omg they completely overlooked the main theme, threw out any significant allegories, took away all the emotional pull, an turned it into a boring action movie with a love triangle in it”

“logic > feelings” is a really funny motto when you realize that 90% of redpillers stone cold ignore well-cited and medically/statistically based accounts of racism/sexism/homophobia/trans people literally existing. like what does logic mean to u. smug anime girl icons?

also note, logic and feelings aren’t antonyms, u can be empathetic and rational at the same time yah emotionally stunted shits

fuck y’all seriously
