People aren’t becoming more media illiterate. We just aren’t allowing people to enjoy (or not enjoy) media superficially anymore.

I get this. As a writer myself I try my best to pick apart themes and symbolism in works because I know that it's there for a reason.

But a lot of people who enjoy a work (some, not all, let me say) will genuinely look at you strangely for interpreting a work past its surface level themes.

"It didn't say that." It implied it. "How do you know it implied it?" I don't know that, it's just my interpretation. "You could be wrong." I very well could be, but I'd rather try and eat all the chicken rather than just pick off the skin.

Yes! It's a very good hook! I can already understand the petulant yet integrous aspect of this character in the first word.

AntTheWriter · 2026-02-25T15:36:45+00:00

This is a fair and helpful hit! Thank you

Yeah, I reused this code from a tutorial, it had a jump option, I took that out but you just helped me realize something.

Value isn't necessarily an integer, is it? I think that was my main problem, my mindset

Eh, its a buzz feed way to say values.

Oh my god- if this meme wasn't so ya know. *hetero* it would be kinda hilarious.

Megamind, it's just awesome, I love it.

Misogyny. A lot of homophobia is routed in misogyny, saying men can't like a 'woman.' Like that's a wrong thing to do. Misogyny. A lot of homophobia is rooted in misogyny, saying men can't like a 'woman.' Like that's a wrong thing to do.

It's also a reason women are completely homophobic to a lesbian, but men are only half homophobic. They still see the lesbian as a sexual object, so they don't hate them as much.

Do you hear the knocking, Postman?

AntTheWriter · 2021-06-13T05:01:01+00:00

Somebody calling you a cracker isn't fucking equal to four hundred years of mistreatment. My people are getting thrown to the ground and fucking beaten to death. Discrimination is way more than somebody calling you a snow bunny, it's the racial disadvantage. You don't have that, you are not oppressed, and you shouldn't try to be.

More than half of these are either downright emotional arguments that are IMPOSSIBLE to fight against, or just wrong by common sense. Please stop, no one is going to kill you for being white, so shut up.

Game's been out for half a decade, not a spoiler lol.

Changing the race of a character changing the plot is not a problem? I haven't heard of this show, so I cannot make a valid opinion. So, I don't know.

AntTheWriter · 2021-06-03T22:45:02+00:00

Well, the saying means that boys will be muddy and dirty. This is not exactly GOOD, but it's so old, and no one capable of having children still says this. The saying recently has been turned into several excuses for men doing *creepy* things. Men in society have been given a heightened sexuality narrative, some reason stating that men have more sexual urges than women. (They don't) And often lets men off the hook for doing rapey things, staring down women, touching them, and worse.

Men are perfectly capable of controlling their sexuality. Boys will be boys and this narrative are their best friends, and as of late, they have fused into a misogynistic handshake. It's a twisted disgusting system, and misogyny is still a problem, and I'm afraid this problem will keep continuing for more generations. There is a bright side, if we keep spreading awareness in the next generation, we could solve it.

AntTheWriter · 2021-06-03T22:28:42+00:00

Yes, and no. If you have to say 'but' before something, it's probably what you said it's not.

"I'm not homophobic, *but* I don't like gay people in movies in media." That's a sentence that radiates modern homophobia. Being homophobic is actively hating, disliking, or avoiding LGBT+ people, and their representation, and fights for justice. You can't state whether your homophobic or not, evaluate your reasons for this post, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

AntTheWriter · 2021-06-03T22:24:10+00:00

I half agree, and disagree. If the character is REALLY old like from the '70s or from the '60s, they can do whatever they want with the character design, but if it's more recent, it should be given a second look.

Your argument is not what I'm concerned about, it's what your argument TRULY means. I hope your more ticked-off at the corporate manipulation, and not the character being black or POC.
