Inspired by #7

[(Anonymous)]

How strong is your suspension of disbelief? What throws you out of a show? What can you just accept?

Re: Inspired by #7

[kaijinscendre]

Mine is really, really strong. I think I am just super oblivious.

As long as it's moderately well-executed, I don't give a single shit about realism.

Re: Inspired by #7

It just has to stay true within the universe. Like, it's not specific suspension of disbelief in general, it's tied in to the specific show or 'verse.

Re: Inspired by #7

[mrs_don_draper]

I can suspend my disbelief of almost anything if the word-building and the rationalization from the characters support the crazy belief. Heck, I was able to buy that Hannibal could get away with repeated murder for 2 seasons! But then it reached the point where he had killed so many people that it was obvious that they'd be missed by the other characters/characters in their orbit that it became impossible for me to believe that he wasn't getting caught.

I don't like it when tv or movies set in historical time periods have really weird anachronistic clothing. I don't mean little things, like "oh, the hemline on that dress should be three inches higher", etc. I mean conspicuously off costuming choices. Reign is guilty of this, but so was The Other Boleyn Girl.

Re: Inspired by #7

Depends on genre, and exactly what the narrative is trying to sell.

Re: Inspired by #7

I mean, if I have a high familiarity with a particular topic - due to, say, my academic work and professional experiences - sure, it can throw me out. But I am usually pretty good about just going with the rules of a particular universe, and even if that universe is supposed to be the real universe, I figure all fiction needs to operate by its own rules. My only issue would be, when by the rules of that universe the plot seems to contradict itself.

So I have a history master's and I could absolutely go through historical dramas and point out all the inaccuracies, they don't bother me as much as they should. As long as it's consistent. On the other hand, something being conveniently hand-waived for plot purposes frustrates me.

Also, warrior women in skimpy armor with pencil-thin arms and high heels. That throws me out a little.

Re: Inspired by #7

[(Anonymous)]

I think when it interferes with character or plot. Like, for a lot of police procedurals, I do not in any way expect them to be like real police. They will get away with stupid shit and wear inappropriate clothes and make crazy deductions that work, etc. But when that crazy deduction wasn't set up in the story, it's noticeable. However, if it's either consistent or a one-time thing, then it doesn't bug me. The only thing with police procedurals that can break my disbelief is when they decide to try another genre. I found that a lot in CSI Miami, which became more of a sci-fi show by the end.

Re: Inspired by #7

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty strong. Like, yeah, I'll notice when something is so clearly unrealistic, and even comment on it sometimes if the discussion comes up.

But it's never really a reason for whether or not I decide to watch something.

Re: Inspired by #7

[philstar22]

I think I have a strong suspension of disbelief. Things that are most likely to throw me up are lawyers or cops acting badly but it being treated like what they did was perfectly okay. Most other things won't throw me out. Well, some historical inaccuracies will throw me out.

Re: Inspired by #7

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, so long as characterisation remains good/consistent, I'll forgive quite a lot. Varies a bit depending on genre, mind. The odd plot point that depends on a blatant physical impossibility will throw me sometimes (I'm thinking of a particular story where the entire situation was dependent on a very much non-magical nine-year-old being able to get a full-grown very tall unconscious man across town on her own in a very short space of time).

Question

[(Anonymous)]

I'm trying to break out of my hermit shell a bit and have been looking at meetup.com for groups to join. There is one that is for LGBTQ Women who just get together and do fun stuff. It's really random (hikes, game nights, pub crawl, museums) and looks fun. My question is, I don't know if I'd be accepted by the group because I'm asexual, and I know there's a lot of hubub about asexual being part of the queer umbrella or spectrum.

I feel like it'd be a really fun and safe group to join, but not sure if it'd be appropriate for me to go in.

Where and how? I'm trying to get into a few local places but they have applications akin to an actual job application and I haven't heard back from any yet. Curious about others' experiences.
