To your second point, I think they are encouraged by their under-developed brains to have a very black-and-white view. (This has been proven by studies, and by every adult, ever, who after reaching a certain age, goes "Yeah, they were right, it really is all morally grey.") Unfortunately, this black-and-white view is starting to bleed over into real life, where everything is so PC nowadays, people are actually losing their jobs, over remarks they make on their own time, on social media.

"under-developed brains"

god, you sound really gross

Teenagers/young adults do have under-developed brains, though?

OMG! Science is ageist!

the argument is still gross the way you use it- as accusation instead of clemency.
Where's YOUR adult point of view of not seeing everything in black in white?
And how the fuck are these teenagers influential enough to make everything PC, sheesh.

The biggest most vocal, crazy parts of many fandoms + disposable income = catered to. That's how they influence all kinds of shit.

And clemency? No. Eventually forgiveness as they grow older and wiser perhaps ("We've all done stupid shit as kids.") but not that. Stupid shit people do is stupid shit people are responsible for. One hopes they can mature to laugh at it later.

Also, you sound like a butthurt teen. Go blog about it and try not to cry to hard over your one direction mp3 you didn't even pay for.

Heh, you sound like some conspiracy theorist to be honest.

Take your head out of fandom once in a while, look into at the actual global scale of the world and its politics and maybe you'll get that SWJ tumblr crazies are influencing very little beyond their fandom bubble, even in the media.
And no, getting female characters killed on Supernatural doesn't count.

Not SJW's.

TEENS

Read the thread from the start. The argument was that the tumblr crowd have the black and white view of underdeveloped brains (TEENS) and this view is somehow influencing society in such a way "where everything is so PC nowadays, people are actually losing their jobs, over remarks they make on their own time, on social media"

But if they actually catered to the Tumblr crowd, they would drive off the non-Tumblr crowd. It draws a larger total audience, and hence earns more money, to look like they're catering to the Tumblr crowd, then back off at the last second. (This is the entire concept behind queerbaiting.)

I don't see how that makes "everything so PC nowadays" or even most media which are catering to teenagers in a way "that people are actually losing their jobs, over remarks they make on their own time, on social media."
You know, that was the original point of argument.

I don't see how increasing the demand of queerbaiting is "making things more PC" or so nasty and unforgiveable that we have to bully teenagers now for having underdeveloped brains, "even" SWJ/tumblr ones

oops, sorry, you replied to somebody else.

You sound really teenager. What's the matter? Can't handle that your brain doesn't finish developing until around twenty?

diff anon

Twenty-five, actually. That's when the rewiring that goes on during puberty finally finishes up.

You sound like you have complexes about not being a teenager, if you have to use it as an insult

Shhh, it's ok. I'm probably older than you and I still enjoy fandom with dignity. I'm sure that all of you will grow out of bashing the crazy youngsters by the age of 30.

More like 25. Once I hit about 20 and realized what was going on in my head, it was really fun watching my brain get bigger and smarter over the next 5 years. It was weird, but I knew it was going to happen so I was able to encourage it.

lol this is actually a scientific fact, idiot.

While it's definitely influenced by teenagers and young adults, unfortunately I've seen a lot of older fans involved in that, too, so it's not just an age or generational thing. :(
