this is nothing like fanboyism. this isn't something superficial and stupid like preferring Marvel over DC or vice versa. This is literally a matter of normalizing things and making people's lives better. It's about ensuring marginalized groups aren't ostracized to the point of depression or suicide or that they aren't stigmatized enough to inspire murder or assault. This isn't some game analogy. This is real life, and that's where the difference lies. Politics are important becuase they literally are life-altering changes to people in need. So I repeat: what's bad about having a political agenda, especially when that agenda is 'normalizing LGBT+ members of the community for the sake of making them feel respected and included'? |
I have been reading Stephen King a lot lately and i have been whining about him,he puts some sort of political agenda in his books but it is sometimes done in such a stereotypical way that it feels like he does not even try to understand the problems of some of the characters he is writing about.
It must be disheartening when it is rare to find yourself represented and when you do it is in an over the top stereotypical way,that is not normalizing but maybe the growing pains of ''culture'' still.
Not to speak about some of the straight relationships in his books were the female is scared alot,mostly is slower of mind,focussed on making sure the male eats good,and asks for the males confirmation to do some basic things while the male himself is the one just a bit better at most things and the bravest.
Intention is good ofcourse but please people, try to understand what you speak about or preach to really make sure people DO feel respected.
