People say MTV went downhill when it started leaning heavily into reality shows. And while that's fair - a MUSIC television network should generally feature MUSIC - some of those reality shows are the reason I had any awareness of LGBTQ folks growing up. (Yes, I was very sheltered and isolated as a kid.)

I wish musicians still made cool music videos and at least put them on Youtube, but I think that era has largely passed.

idk, every time i run across a piece of media that celebrates how amazing the power of storytelling is, it always feels self-congratulating and almost masturbatory to me.

examples include The Thousand and One Nights, Neverending Story, The Sandman, Kingkiller Chronicles, etc, etc, etc.

[feotakahari]

Sometimes people who read a lot of fiction say people who don’t read much fiction are lacking some essential element of humanity. To me, that’s almost as offensive as when people say you’re lacking essential humanity if you didn’t take the right college classses.

[iff_and_xor]

I’ve definitely gotten that feeling from books and movies before, but now I can’t remember many particular examples. I certainly rolled my eyes at some point towards the end of Game of Thrones.

I don’t think I felt it for The Neverending Story or Haroun and the Sea of Stories, but maybe that’s because I read them as a child and still think of them through that nostalgia.

[(Anonymous)]

Wasn't the point of Neverending Story less about 'the power of storytelling' and more about 'MC realizes he has the power to create his own story instead of just passively reading'?

These are different things to me idk

[(Anonymous)]

if you're going all the way back thousands of years to 1001 Nights, the other examples cited are just modern takes on a very old and established trope.

to which I say, yeah, at some point all tropes turn into "omg we get it, stop retreading the same ground again" but idk if this one in particular has been trodden so hard as to be that annoying. you do you, anon, but this trope ain't even on my radar.

I love Survivor, and I would love to discuss the season as it airs, but sadly I have to avoid fan spaces when a season is airing, because spoilers about the boot order almost always manage to leak out. Even though typically moderators are good at removing blatant spoilers, once the season is spoiled, you can kind of tell what is going to happen because SO MANY people will mysteriously have a "good feeling" about the future winner, or they'll predict that some random player is going to make the finals when only two episodes have aired. Even if you don't read a spoiler that says "XYZ wins" or "ABC is in the final 3," you kind of absorb these spoilers by osmosis because so many people are predicting the same thing.

Don't watch espionage movies if you are having a Paranoid Episode. In fact, stay away from television entirely in that position. Trust me on this.

"they" told me to say this

[iff_and_xor]

Seems pretty sensible to me.

Even as a fan of spy stories and not someone who is especially prone to paranoia, those “big conspiracy” thrillers are some of my least favourite. They tend to leave me both anxious and unsatisfied.

Personally, I’ve learned to avoid post-apocalyptic stories when I’m doing poorly depression-wise. I find that they nudge me in an even worse direction.

I get that the internet was - and still is - a refuge for misfits and nerds. But I think maybe due to that, parts of fandom culture enables and even encourages bullying victims to gather together and dwell on things that happened years and years ago and never get over it in a very unhealthy way.
