That's understandable, OP. On the other hand, I've never been able to stomach dystopian fiction. It's too depressing for me even when politics/current events/real life is going well.

How do other genres work out for you? It sounds counter-intuitive, but I like murder mysteries because even though something terrible happened, it makes me feel better to have competent people actively working to address the problem.

This is funny to me because I've kind of been burnt out on SciFi lately because none of it is optimistic or hopeful anymore. It's all grimdark dystopias ~in space~ and I am not about that.

But I absolutely understand where you're at. I go through phases where I can't engage with optimistic or hopeful anymore because it just seems so sad and unrealistic. I tend to swing back and froth between "no hope" and "defiantly hopeful".

You don't gotta live like that, hermano.

If its clinical, there are treatments.

If its environmental, change your habits.

If its social, remember you curate your own experiences.

I'm not saying there are easy fixes for everything, but there are fixes out there. Your continued suffering is not necessary for the world to become a better place, you have the freedom to choose how much of the world you want to care about at any given time.

"Its not my problem" and "Its not something I should be fixing" and "Its not a thing that needs my attention" don't let anyone shame you for telling yourself this.

I have the opposite problem. So much media has become so dystopian. I don't want realism. I want escapism. I want happy. I want worlds where good things happen and happy endings happen (even if they have to be earned).

[(Anonymous)]

I kind of feel like, unless you have a specific sub-genre in mind, that there's a lot of sci-fi out there that isn't optimistic. That, in fact, there are a few that you think are going to end on a hopeful note, but instead end on a gotcha. And there are others where the main protagonist survives, but the entire setting is still pretty messed up.

History is not a straight line. It has downs, sometimes spectacularly huge ones -- but it has spectacular ups, as well.

It may be dark now, but there will be bright moments, again.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel you, OP. I can't suspend my disbelief for stuff that's too hopeful, and I can't endure stuff that's too grimdark- I might as well just go watch the news. I wish I had a good answer for you. I'm sorry this is the hand we were dealt.

I've always found it odd that people mourn for those they didn't know personally. Not a bad thing, just odd to me. Like I get being sad, but mourning? But then again, maybe we're all defining things differently and what we feel might actually be closer than I am imagining.

[iff_and_xor]

As someone who is rarely emotionally affected by the deaths of celebrities, I bet it is easier this way. But I have to imagine that those emotional lows are tied in to some corresponding emotional highs. So I’m probably missing out on both.

I do have a few deaths that actually affected my daily mood and I’m not sure why they hit me in particular.

kinda agree? playing a game on easy mode is absolutely fine for whatever reason BUT if you're reviewing or reccing a game and your experience with the game is only on a mode that significantly changes mechanics or skips some entirely, that should be mentioned somewhere. seems straightforward to me

in some genres it usually doesn't matter at all, like jrpgs. in others it matters a lot

Or have him get it wrong in a way with real consequences. Or have him get it right only when it's too late. Shit, I'd have been happy if he got things unrelated-to-the-case wrong once in a while.

Is there a demographic who don't eventually develop a crush on him? People who hate smelling good? People who hate Sweden?
