entertainment media both reflects and reinforces real social structures

I'll buy the "reflects" part but not the "reinforces" part. That denies individual agency.

Weird that you're defending audience agency but outraged at the idea that someone might use their agency to point out troubling themes in a piece of media?

WTF? I'm not outraged by either one? This thread is about things we find annoying.

If anything, using one's agency to point out troubling themes is proof of how little power entertainment media has to reinforce those themes.

NAYRT

Individual agency is a thing but so, I would argue, is social conditioning. We are at least in part the product of our environment and situation. Cultural narratives are part of that background.

I'm honestly confused about how admitting that people are influenced by things negates their agency
