What?? What I meant was that a work presenting itself as entertainment ends up, inadvertently, numbing you to the very thing that makes it problematic. That’s the subconscious influence I was talking about, you went in a completely wrong direction there
@winennya@AdrikaItz The "subconscious influence" has been used for decades to claim that "violence in games" subtly encourages violence.
Even if harmful acts in fiction influence us subconsciously, that doesn't mean they cause people to replicate or encourage those acts on any noticeable scale.
@PaintedTiban@CrayonMunchkin@HeshComps2 Rudeus was sexually attracted to her BECAUSE she has the eternal body of a middle schooler, not DESPITE she having that body, so he was the one that, alone, that made her age become suddenly irrelevant to any analysis lolll.
It would be funny if only he didn’t auto-incriminate:
@VToxixZ@AdrikaItz Yes, people who use them incorrectly or state and don’t explain indirectly caused a snowball effect of prejudice over the words. That’s the more reason for those who holds a prejudice to study the meaning to distinguish when it’s your prejudice talking or the word well applied
@AdrikaItz@genexzz How can it be clearer? His statement was that the logic behind the belief that fiction affects reality is flawed. I gave one example of potential fiction that affected reality to the maximum extent humanly possible, to the point it’s taboo to say it is fiction: the bible.
@AdrikaItz I like dark midia, I share the same thoughts as you about the value it holds. What I think we didn’t align right was the target of my analysis: the ones who like the anime and might not get all the implications of Rudeus, giving a blind eye to some of his doings unintentionally.
@MushokuSensei7@Thebestvain_00 Sua análise não está totalmente imprecisa. Está forma de se proceder a narrativa é, teoricamente, boa. Mas uma coisa que você esqueceu é que o ponto em discursão não são os fatores alheios ao controle de Rudeus que o torceram, mas o que ele causou que o tornam alguém irremediável
@AdrikaItz …It, but at the same time have no control over how ou brain will absorb the information/experience subconsciously. That implies that people can be influenced by fiction even if they are entirely aware of its nature and consciously trying to not be influenced. (End c:)
@AdrikaItz Not being able to fully predict how our brains will absorb something we exposed to, and us not being in control of our mind, that means we can never trust our perception of what’s in front of us completely. Meaning fiction can be interpreted as such for our rationalization of (5)
