As someone who is in fandom and SJ communities

[(Anonymous)]

I do think it's good to analyze the works you consume and recognize if they have problematic (I fucking hate what this word has become, but I don't have a synonym I can think of right not) elements, but sometimes you just need to sit down and read/watch/whatever something and not have to worry about if it passes the Bechdel test or if it has representation, etc.

(I find it so frustrating how the overzealous SJW craze has made people so resentful and knee-jerky about actual SJ-related discussion because I think it's interesting and important)

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I have no problem with analyzing. I love all kinds of fandom discussions. I just find it pretty exhausting when people get extremely aggressive about it. E.g. "Frozen is racist trash, it has only white leads and this fact alone devalues the entire film!" as an example. In fandoms with lots of SJWs it just seems to be the main kind of discussion: "Let's praise the show for its progressive (or what is seen as such) parts, and criticize the "problematic" ones!" As a person who belongs to a minority myself, I find it pretty draining after a while, because it's the kind of rl negaivity I try to escape from.
It's just nice to be in a fandom where people are not blind to such things, but the majority of discussions are still about the old-fashioned topics of storyline, style (in drawn media), pairings, etc.

Agreed. I think that it's definitely important to critically examine what you consume, and to be able to point out that while you enjoy it, there are elements to it that are worth being critical towards.

That said, no single form of media will ever appeal to every single demographic and minority ever. No form of media can be everything to everyone - it might have racial diversity but not have trans/nonbinary individuals; it might do great on discussing asexuality but doesn't show many Muslims in it. If you sit there constantly picking it apart and... well, almost looking for something to criticize, you won't be able to just enjoy it for what it is. It's okay for something to be fun - it doesn't have to have a political message or social commentary agenda all the time.
