Nayrt
I have generally found that people arguing so strongly for "fiction influences reality so much" are usually those who have a problem separating fiction from reality.

Re: You're not special OP

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP, but man, I am unnerved by people so simple-minded they believe fiction doesn't influence reality. Like, huh?

Yes fiction affects reality. But if you honestly believe that most people approve of everything they may fantasize about happening in real life , you are a moron

AYRT

It's not about whether a person approves of it or not. It's about the fact that it affects reality regardless of that. Society is a fish bowl - albeit a very large one. Just because you don't eat something up, doesn't mean it's not in the water.

It's why we have so many serial killers running about because they watched one Law&Order episode too many.

Yes, fiction can in some cases influence individual people. Whole group's of people/society in general? That's a much more complicated matter.

Lol. When L&O starts writing episodes where the main characters always fall in love with the perps and/or start idolizing them, and come around to seeing why the perps are brave and right to do what they do, believe me I will be thoroughly disturbed and nauseated.

(And then the cops all drive off into the sunset with the perpetrators, and they kill again, this time together, before the end credits roll on yet another positive, just outcome.)

Hannibal is a hugely popular series yet I don't think there's been a rise in cannibalism and intentionally hooking up with handsome cannibals lately.

Re: DA

[(Anonymous)]

Hannibal is fantastic. It also doesn't depict what happens to Will as a good thing. Like, how is this so hard for people to grasp?

Re: DA

[(Anonymous)]

All fiction must be didactic now. Everything bad that happens should have a big flashing sign over it saying THIS IS BAD. Otherwise, simpletons like you will never understand that depiction is not endorsement.

lmao +1

What's your opinion on all the Hannibal/Will fic and art where Will is enjoying himself? Or when Bryan Fuller tweets it?

Re: You're not special OP

I don't argue that fiction can influence and has influenced reality for some people.

But I also think there's a whole lot of other factors that tend to go into determining how easily (or not) somebody might be influenced by fiction as well, and anyone out there who believes getting rid of or restricting the fictional item in question will solve the real life problems they're inspiring (not saying that's what you're arguing, just speaking in general terms)...well, that seems equally as naive to me.

It's like the people who blamed 'Twilight' for women getting into abusive relationships. You could take 'Twilight' out of the equation...and women getting into abusive relationships are still going to be a problem.

Re: You're not special OP

I'm willing to bet that if you took every piece of popular fiction that romanticizes abusive relationships out of the equation, you'd see a distinct decline in the prevalence of abusive relationships. Not right away, but over the next couple of generations.
