maybe it's just how I deal with cognitive dissonance but I do think "media thing has a lot that can be enjoyed and picked apart and analyzed and you can really see what the artists involved put into that and you can acknowledge what the artists put into it and that some of the messages are things that need to be said and heard and encouraged"
and "corporations will always find a way to use those artists to sanitize the artists message and it's impossible to have a successful Content and you can't project a good piece of content as meaning that the big corporation is Good, because the big corporation will use art to get your money and doesn't believe in anything"
Are ideas that can be held at the same time and both deserve discussion to figure out this shitty part of our culture.
I don't think "ugh X isn't good and people who like it are annoying and falling for the con" is a productive argument but I also don't think "um people can enjoy things and any criticism means you don't think they should enjoy things and everything about this IS good actually" is productive. I'm not smart enough to know how to fix how our capitalist culture has turned art and culture into a commodity, but I don't think the individual people getting shaped by culture is where the ire needs to go, and I also think it's important to on some level be aware that corporations will always find a way to make money off of artists and sell it to you.

ok! addressing some things:
for the people outraged about the images i chose: a) this is round one so all images are just basic pngs of the characters to make it more fun b) theres 100+ characters on the roster and c) if you'd like to show a different image of the character you can tag it as propaganda and ill reblog! i did this for a couple of other characters like stephano and soundwave
don't be mean in my tags or comments i too am invested in the outcome of my polls but don't be awful about it
again! characters are matched with their own franchise to make it more fair moving into future rounds
sorry hollow knight fans for spelling it wrong in future rounds this will be corrected!
lastly! i have an announcement coming right after the polls are done depending on the results that will go very well or very bad depending on your preferences so watch out for that!
