Suggestions, comments, and concerns should go here.
Re: Such moral outrage!
Most people should have a general mental sketch, yes, and know major/influential events. Although the reality is that most don't; and while I'm guessing you could build an argument for detrimental effects over time to a society that doesn't know its own history, I don't think most find that their lack of clue harms them on a short-term basis.
But I'm inclined to believe that comment was more personal butthurt over someone, "defiling," your favourite subject than it was over how important it may be to know your own history. Because if THAT was the primary concern, I don't think you'd object so much to the manner in which she acquired the knowledge. I certainly know I smiled when I got to that secret, as did many here, since we all probably recognize finding that, "hook," of personal interest in a subject (whether that hook is in any way sexual or not).
Me, I was thinking of how I actually got into ninth grade social studies by obsessing over what a tool Marx really was, and how his character may have influenced his work; that's what the secret made me think of. I find it interesting that YOUR reaction was to feel that the way in which she connected to the material was somehow wrong.
Not to mention that you should have the self-control to think about something else once in awhile.
(Well, this was ridiculous from the outset, where you assumed from one fandom secret that someone made about using slash to get through a subject she finds boring that she is - to quote from lower down the thread - "completely driven by sex." Somehow, I very much doubt that assumption is true.
But, well, even it was...)
So you think people, "should," think about "something else once in awhile." Assuming it harms no one: why? That's a very interesting, "should." Why do you care what anyone privately thinks about so long as they're doing what they're supposed to?
Seems to me that's very much a, "should," that's morally based.
