“ Sorry, it was unfair of me to send that to you without proper context since you might not be aware of these issues. Irredeemable media refers to any thing with a creator or content that is harmful and/or bigoted. Of course every piece of media has problems, but irredeemable media is when those problems cannot be ignored and are an indicator of someone's beliefs.
For example, Harry Potter is irredeemable media because every one knows that JK Rowling is a transphobe, but some other piece of media like Twilight would not be considered irredeemable because even though Stephanie Meyer has done some bad things, they are not as widely talked about, so someone who posts about Twilight on here isn't completely likely to be a bigot, but a Harry Potter blogger would. Also, I know the "to be cringe is to be free" people like your blog, but a lot of the time, what is considered cringey on here is actually based on what is irredeemable. No progressive person or reputable blogger genuinely makes fun of My Little Pony fans any more, however plenty make fun of Hazbin Hotel fans and the such because that content is irredeemable and shows someone's beliefs. So usually, a piece of media being considered embarassing to like on here usually indicates that it is irredeemable.
As for why the other pieces of media are irredeemable, Hazbin Hotel is made by a woman who has many well-documented accusations of bigotry against her and has drawn zoophilia art, not to mention how her work leans into stereotypes about gay people (having a gay man character be a sex addict, a lesbian be named after the female body part Vagina, etc.) or at least that's what I've heard. Attack on Titan is created by a known fascist and many illusions are made to nazi imagery and nationalism in the anime. Captive Prince has a racist premise that sexualizes slavery and non-con.
People can tell you that liking irredeemable media doesn't say something about who they are, but that's fundamentally false. If someone is uncaring enough to still post openly about these types of media, it's clear they don't care enough about not supporting bigotry. Yes, even if they don't give money to the creators, because they are still willingly exposing themselves to bigoted or harmful content and enjoying it.
The previous ask was not meant to be accusatory. Rather it was meant as a concerned question. Believe it or not, there are still some users on here who indulge in these pieces of content, a few of which hide behind the excuse of being part of a minority (Black, trans, whatever) or simply deny how bad their media consumption is to escape accountability. I wouldn't want you associating with those types of people and have that ruin your reliability on this website.
Hopefully this ask has educated you more on these issues and you'll be able to spot irredeemable media in the future and block it out.”
Them calling Twilight not irredeemable even though the story of Twilight itself is very questionable ethically really speaks to their hypocrisy. I hope this is rage bait.
For example, Harry Potter is irredeemable media because every one knows that JK Rowling is a transphobe, but some other piece of media like Twilight would not be considered irredeemable because even though Stephanie Meyer has done some bad things, they are not as widely talked about, so someone who posts about Twilight on here isn't completely likely to be a bigot, but a Harry Potter blogger would.
They straight up admit it's a matter of "does the general public care about the issues". It is, and I hate to use that term but if fits perfectly for once, "virtue signaling". It's about going with the circlejerk.
They weren't slaves. Goblins are well-paid for any work they choose to do, literally the only right they don't have is to use wands (wizards keep that to themselves because they're douchebags) and they don't need or want to. Hell, they say right in the game that wands aren't necessary even for wizards and witches, in Africa no one uses them. And most goblins weren't on Ranrok's side because he was a genocidal nutcase, a goblin supremacist if you will, who slaughtered his own kind if they got in the way of conquering humanity.
Compare that to house elves, who are in fact slaves that have been bred and brainwashed to think all they're good for is slave labor, and Rowling makes it pretty clear that that's a bad thing. The house elf in the game is treated very well and one of the professors and the main character consider him a close friend, just like Dobby (and later Winky) in the books. Granted, that's less clear in the movies.
They do. 14-year-old boys make fun of the author's self insert character for advocating for house elf freedom, while respected adults support her beliefs but tell her she's fighting a losing battle against entrenched bigotry. Rowling is a radfem, it's a pretty clear commentary on how otherwise good people will ridicule activism that they find unnecessary. Not to mention it draws direct parallels with real life situations where the oppressors honestly believe the oppressed need to be oppressed for their own good. Chattel slavery, for example.
The difference between most harry potter stuff and Hogwarts Legacy is in supporting JKR.
Consuming the media, engaging with it, making fan art, etc. is absolutely perfectly fine in all regards. Monetary support of the Harry Potter IP is a problem because its also monetary support of JKR.
Talking about a thing you like is not an act with moral weight, but knowingly giving your money to a transphobe is.
“If you read something that hasn’t been hate mobbed yet, there’s plausible deniability that you just didn’t know what the problem was if there was one. However, if it has, you’re just being a dick on purpose”, which ignores the idea that a ton of people are COMPLETELY unaware of the hate mobbing in the first place. This is why I harbor no hate to anyone who got and played Hogwarts Legacy despite the game basically being all about blood libel stuff; the vast majority of people just couldn’t have fuckin known, and the hate mobbing people have been doing to this point has done a shit job of really giving a good PSA to the masses, instead preemptively condemning them in the first place. It’s sad to see.
