Yeah, this. I grew up in that sort of culture--not necessarily within my family, but absolutely within my social/religious circles as a kid--and all the above is pretty much spot-on. It's a mindfuck of a subculture, for sure. I had friends who were even further in that than my family was, and I've actually spoken to some of them recently about this subject. There's just a general sense of sadness and loss for something we never had, also in some cases a lot of anger. It's hard to explain how it affects you the rest of your life.

Anyway the short of it is, I totally understand where the OP's coming from, because I get that feeling myself any time I hear someone say they come from a conservative Evangelical homeschooling childhood. All I can do is hope they're living the happy life they want nowadays.

yeah, that last bit is what I was getting at in my long-winded way. that it's less about the media itself and more about what experiences can be associated with it, both in consuming and being forbidden to consume.

anyway thanks everyone above for understanding where I was going despite my rambling. it's very hard after coming out of that world to really articulate what you missed besides not being able to talk Star Wars with your classmates. it's usually more than that and it's very difficult to explain unless you have any tangential experience with the evangelical subculture.
