It's a little "friend who's too woke" to say you'll never engage in media with police as the protagonist. No Law & Order? No Columbo? No Zootopia? No like half of 80s action movies? Your media consumption habits have nothing to do with your morality, so chill out a little.
law and order and columbo are old people shows. i'm not the subreddit poster who wanted to fuck the bunny cop.
honestly 80s action movies are old people shit too ~~but i liked some of them~~. zootopia is the only one of those that people under 30 probably were into
so about that new harry potter show...
Dont you dare drag Columbo down with Law and Order. Columbo is absolutely fantastic. Columbo somehow got a job where he only investigates murders where the suspect is rich and then defeats them by being overwhelmingly working class at them until they break down
People hate harry potter because jk Rowling spends the money it earns on oppressing trans people and explicitly says that the popularity of harry potter shows that she's right to do so, not because it's lib slop.
It can always be both. Harry Potter didn't actually teach a generation to read so much as it taught a generation to not read anything else.
Columbo is goated. Watch any old port in a storm.
The issue with harry potter isn't it's content, but its production as far as I understand it. The content of Harry Potter is average libshit, it's all the surrounding stuff that has made harry potter be more than just media consumption.
This. If it wasn't providing money and support to fascists, we wouldn't be having issues with people wanting to watch it, and maybe even actively encouraging queer readings of it (he was literally forced in the closet by his guardians after all).
Kind of similar to how I find the press about the new game ZA/UM releases to be more than just annoying, and how I would consider it to be some sort of moral failure to buy it if the buyer knows anything about what has happened.
Out of the loop, what exactly has happened?
Basically the people who made the game got ratfucked out of the studio and the IP by the people who financed part of the development. The financers took control of the studio and then hired a bunch of new people (From what I could read a lot of rich brits among them, the types that usually get to have some say in culture because their parents have money and connections, vapid saltburn types. Some I assume are good people) and are now releasing this new game that is talked about in OPs image.
They then tried to do PR management by sharing stories about how the lead on the game development was a bit of an asshole, while not really going into who he was an asshole to or why or giving time to the many other people also fucked out of the company who also were really pissed about how everything went down.
Some would say this is a biased retelling. I would say it is not biased enough
Thanks, that clears it up.
