the 2005 Pride and Prejudice isn’t even a movie it’s an emotion
Shortly after Frozen 2 came out but before I saw it, a friend asked me if I thought they had given Elsa a female love interest, as it has been rumored they might. “No,” I said with complete confidence. “If they did, I’d have heard about it.” Then I had to explain that I’ve curated my tumblr experience into a great river of homosexuality, fed by many tributaries, that I watch carefully and seive like a prospector. That by my connection to this deep lesbian current I am brought inklings of gay uprisings even in far distant lands. That I know every gay scene in every show I have never watched. That like a cow in a field — very stupid but with senses more ancient than language and more attuned than those of men — I feel the tremors of approaching gay cultural events long before their vibrations are recorded on any seismograph.
i don’t lose hyperfixations they just go dormant until I hear something about it like a sleeper agent
my philosophy is “nothing an individual can do could possibly be worse for the environment than major corporations dumping tons of pollutants into the atmosphere every day but also don’t just toss shit on the ground you idiot have some manners”

how to trick writers into giving you more fanfic to read
the answer to problematic fiction isn’t to ban everything with a whiff of Bad Ideas in it, it’s media literacy. the ability to frame and contextualize what you see, to really know what the Bad Ideas are and why they’re bad, and to figure out what the author was actually trying to say, this is how you lessen the potential real world impact the Bad Ideas can have.
media literacy is what antis should advocate for, but they don’t, because they themselves don’t have any.
