Please, for the love of gods, allow yourself to consume content/media uncritically
You can be aware of issues a show/game/movie/etc has but you don't need to be aware of it *all* the time, you shouldn't have to justify yourself liking it every time you go to talk about it.
You shouldn't have to feel like you're the worst person in the world just because you like something that happens to have problematic stuff in it.
And you're setting yourself up for failure if you go into something immediately looking for all of the bad in it, you're setting yourself up to be unable to enjoy it! And if you do manage to enjoy it it'll likely just feel wrong because of that!
I'm begging y'all not to consume *everything* critically and to sometimes enjoy things uncritically.
#its so fucking easy to end up demonizing yourself just because you like media thst isnt deemed “good”#i only just recently realized how fucking guilty id feel admitting i like watching helluva boss to other people outside of my circle. or#feeling thr need to warn people about the heavy racism in baldur's gate 3 for the fear of being seen as an awful person for praising the#game despite thst in it. fuck i even feel bad admitting i like watching law and order special victims unit bc of its content and how often#it just goes- *wrong* but like- i realized a lot of that is bc my brain and my ocd are constantly trying to take content in critically.#trying to always shame it bc its “bad” either bc of its content or its creators and thus my ocd has a field day of turning thst around to#meam that *im* bad because i enjoy it. which isnt fucking true. i enjoy iy#which isnt true. i can know stuff is not good/great for various reasons but i can still enjoy it without that inherently make me bad#anyway bc this is tumblr im already expecting people to try to twist my words and intents to make this seem like s horrible thing#idc atm bc my head hurts from trying to just exist and relearn how to enjoy stuff without fucking purity culture and my ocd shame watching#me lile a fuckin hawk#cant wait to see how freeing it feels tho once i stop giving as much of a fuck/worry
