Yeah I genuinely think CinemaSins did irreparable damage to media literacy in that sense, they've fueled an anti-intellectual movement trying to rigidly compartmentalize art into strict templates and categories based on what they think is the "correct" way vs the "incorrect". Some user here who I can't remember once said something like: media and art have become a puzzle to be solved or a game to be broken, instead of an experience for the viewer full of ideas and meaning. IMO that's the true "treat culture" and a byproduct of capitalism reducing art to a commodity instead of a genuine representation of the human condition and the emotional honesty it requires to fully engage with it

I've gotten shit for saying that before but I'll keep saying it anyway. We are affected by what we consume, whether or not we're aware of it not-immune-to-propaganda and it that vulnerability can be signaled in subtle and insidious ways like "____ much?" getting said in imitation to the CinemaSins delivery style in defense of CinemaSins brainworms .

I can't help trying to imagine what a "sinless" movie/show would look like by those standards. Probably pretty fucking bland.

Probably like a Lolbertarian wet dream, ie. perfectly logical men (only men, no UnStaBLe FeeEEeeEmALeS) making perfectly logical decisions like fuckin robots for the fake nonsense conflicts they encounter, and the villain is either women or "The State(TM)" or WOKEness. so basically Atlas Shrugged lol

I can totally see something like that being "sinless." It might be some outright slop with no coherent political message outside of "check out this smirking cool guy that fucks and kills and is very smart and does everything right and wins all the time because logic and reason!"

Like the Witcherino with less character flaws/weaknesses and a higher win rate than Based Saint Geraldo the Morally Grey.
