twitter media criticism is just โdoes this art exist at the exact intersection of my very specific politics and life experiences? and is it composed to fit my preferred aesthetic standards? no? then itโs the worst fucking thing iโve ever seen in my life ๐โ
lrt tbh "let people enjoy things" and "let people criticize things" are statements that can actually co-exist. criticism isn't the opposite of enjoyment.
like a lot of my activism is online bc I'm a fucking disabled visibly queer person in a queerphobic town thats fucking tiny and has no public transportation and I can't drive. I can't even GO anywhere.
ngl sometimes I get :/ when ppl go "god I hate slacktivists who only tweet online like fucking go outside and do some actual activism once in ur pathetic lives" in the replies of ppl who literally physically can't go outside.
Like I hate fake progressives as much as the next guy but I do thing y'all are getting too comfy saying literally everyone who's online presence is activism are "faking it" when there is in fact a lot of reasons why people can't do rl activism.
The way that fandom culture has very deliberately started assigning moral decency and value as a human being based on the media that person enjoys is uhhhhhhhhhh bizarre and gross
leftists who consider themselves tertiary to fandoms keep making these "informative" threads and video essays about how antis and proshippers are two equally weird factions, and simultaneously comment on the rise in media criticism rife with TERF rhetoric
6 years ago today I raised my company's min wage to $70k. Fox News called me a socialist whose employees would be on bread lines.
Since then our revenue tripled, we're a Harvard Business School case study & our employees had a 10x boom in homes bought.
Always invest in people.

i cycle between "let people enjoy things" and "let people criticize whatever they want" depending on how obnoxious the party making the argument is at that particular time. im not ashamed to have no integrity or values other than wanting to contradict people that annoy me
@Bagel0001 ngl this isn't the first time I've heard "I won't blame my groomer, but instead the medium they used to groom me, and everyone who enjoys that media is a groomer!" but this is the first time its been over fucking fanfics in general.
