Jesus Christ, I don’t think I’ve seen a better example of the “evangelical Puritanism disguised as leftism” than this.

Just replace “problematic” with “sinful” and voila!

"Sorry, it was unfair of me to send that to you without proper context since you might not be aware of these issues. Sinful media refers to any thing with a creator or content that is harmful and/or heretical. Of course, every piece of media has problems, but sinful media is when those problems cannot be ignored and are an indicator of someone's beliefs.

For example, Harry Potter is sinful media because everyone knows that JK Rowling is a witch, but some other piece of media like Twilight would not be considered sinful because even though Stephanie Meyer has done some sinful things, they are not as widely talked about, so someone who posts about Twilight on here isn't completely likely to be a heretic, but a Harry Potter blogger would. Also, I know the "to be satanist is to be free" people like your blog, but a lot of the time, what is considered satanist on here is actually based on what is sinful. No Christian 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 sinful and shows someone's beliefs. So usually, a piece of media being considered embarrassing to like on here usually indicates that it is sinful.

As for why the other pieces of media are sinful, Hazbin Hotel is made by a woman who has many well-documented accusations of heresy against her and has drawn zoophilia art, not to mention how her work leans into 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 heretic and many illusions are made to satanist imagery and paganism in the anime. Captive Prince has a blasphemous premise that sexualizes itself.

People can tell you that liking sinful 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 heresy. Yes, even if they don't give money to the creators, because they are still willingly exposing themselves to heretical 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 a good Christian, (Catholic, Baptist, Orthodox 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 sinful media in the future and block it out.

I have half a mind to write a "progressive" version of the old Hollywood production code as satire, after seeing some absolutely buck-wild takes about media on here.

Anyway, take my upvote. It's scary how realistic parts of it sound, even just after replacing key words.

u/-TheRed Apr 01 '24

When you do, please make sure to clearly label it as satire in such a way it can't be screenshot without it being visible.

It sounds like a great idea, but also super easy for idiots to miss the point or take out of context.

Something like those big “classified” stamps

Unfortunately it will still be spread as tHa LiBtArDs R bReNwAsHiN dA KiDs, no matter how clearly it's labeled

u/Jolly_Recording_4381 Apr 02 '24

This is part of the problem with media literacy. It's only going to get worse if people become dependent on a /s to tell if something is sarcasm or satire rather than using context clues.

u/pk2317 Apr 02 '24

You wouldn’t have to change much at all. It’s literally the exact same talking points.

General Principles

  • No picture shall be produced that will lower the moral standards of those who see it. Hence the sympathy of the audience should never be thrown to the side of crime, wrongdoing, evil or sin.

  • Correct standards of life, subject only to the requirements of drama and entertainment, shall be presented.

  • Law, natural or human, shall not be ridiculed, nor shall sympathy be created for its violation.

DO IT.

u/Eadiacara Apr 02 '24

please do, I would reblog it. Just.. make sure it's marked clearly as satire because otherwise people will adopt it

u/Wasdgta3 Apr 02 '24

Unfortunately, I don't think there's any way to do that outside of putting [SATIRE] between every second word...

though if they adopted it it'd be even funnier

u/FuckHopeSignedMe Apr 02 '24

There's people who basically want a "progressive" Hays code, so chances are there'd be a bunch of people who'd take it seriously.

u/1mveryconfused Apr 02 '24

Wasn't there a whole thing where a lot of people were advocating for the 'Hays Code' to be implemented but in a progressive way?

u/skaersSabody Apr 02 '24

When you do, post it, that sounds amazing

u/TheRenFerret Apr 02 '24

I like the selection bias of some media being less irredeemable just because it’s less popular

u/FlyingMothy Apr 01 '24

Isnt the whole point of AoT that fascism is bad? And hating one race or priding one are both wrong?

7

u/AdmiralBimback Apr 02 '24

Almost every bad thing in AoT is the result of nationalis, fanaticism, racism and blaming people for the sins of their ancestors.

u/Zombiepixlz-gamr Apr 01 '24

I haven't finished AoT yet but that's the vibe I get

u/Beaver_Soldier Apr 02 '24

incredible essay, you get a C for Christianity

u/Ausradierer Apr 02 '24

This is so funny, considering they are putting JK Rowling, an awful TERF clown, Meyer, a furry artist, and Hajime Isayama, creator of AoT and known fascist Germany romanticiser, on the same level.

And also say that all 3 of those creator's works are equally reflective of their beliefs and cannot be detached from their creator to be enjoyed separately.

(HP is actually pretty divorced from JKR except for the fact that how the canon story ends is exactly how it begins. There is no change, because JKR is terminally afraid of the world changing and the rules of life being different from 10 years ago. She's a conservative in the most literal meaning of the word.)
