Re: Current trends that annoy you

[(Anonymous)]

Do you think that there's any connection between messages in entertainment, and peoples' beliefs in real life?

Re: Current trends that annoy you

[(Anonymous)]

No. I actually think that's a very insulting idea, as though people are too stupid to understand the difference between reality and make-believe.

Re: Current trends that annoy you

I'm not saying there's a 1-to-1 relationship, or that people literally believe that what's happening in a film is true. But I do think that people are shaped, in part by the narratives that they consume. So, for instance, when you're talking about the original Birth Of A Nation, people don't think that what happens in that movie is the literal truth. But existing racist narratives are reinforced and reproduced by the racist narrative and framework of the film. The sense that stories of a certain kind are typical and archetypal is reinforced.

if you don't grasp the idea that make-believe stories are made up by people who live in the real world and have beliefs, priorities, and unquestioned assumptions about how the world works that are shaped by the reality they live in, you might be at least a little willfully stupid

Please tell me you don't actually believe that they never influence each other. It does not require overtly believing there is no difference for that to happen.
