Re: What extent do you think fiction affects reality?

[(Anonymous)]

More than people are willing to admit, less than some pearl-clutchers would make it out to be. That being, fiction doesn't have zero effect on how people think and feel so I'm leery of ever calling something "just fiction." OTOH it's basically been proven in studies that people don't become more violent from violence in games or more promiscuous from sex on TV.

Fiction does affect us and I'd argue that it should, because fables and morality plays are ways fiction has always, for centuries, been used to help societies learn right from wrong. Taking protagonists' actions as the example we should live up to in reality is not harmful, generally speaking. I'm aware of some examples where authors pushing their agenda through their fiction can be harmful but at least when that happens, we have the ability to question and discuss the fiction and decide whether those are the mores we want to accept.
