> Increasing pop politics seemingly shoe horned into everything I'd turn on
:(
I know this is a tangent but it’s always sad to see representation treated as inherently political. Like this is the first time in my life I’ve ever seen mainstream shows portray wlw relationships. Or shows portray the reality of how common and casual sexual assault is. Or characters that that struggle with depression as more than just an emo/goth archetype.
I get that in some ways people tune into media to escape from all that but they become a comfort when they show your struggles and it turns out okay in the end.
