I am so tired of people saying this person's trauma must be stupid if this normal thing triggers them because that has nothing to do with how bad the actual trauma was to experience, and the amount of damage it physically caused their brain.

PTSD people still say dumb shit about how they just have to choose to shift their mindset. You can make triggers less triggering by processing your trauma, but it isn't a simple & easy mindset shift and it is incredibly disingenuous when people say to just do that.

It doesn't mean the actual trauma was stupid and easy to handle. The fact that people try so hard to avoid having empathy is ridiculous, and blaming it on how people make fun of people who get upset as triggered doesn't really work cuz even when you specify you are talking about actual triggers and

People don't choose their triggers and they can't just decide this random seemingly innocuous thing doesn't immediately bring them back to the trauma. Most people with PTSD have some triggers that seem normal to everyone else, and it doesn't make them weak.

because what do you mean I relate to/like a character who seems autistic. It's honestly so dehumanizing

And if he had made America great, how did NY fail to be a part of it? Like it makes no sense I made America great excluding NY but now I'm gonna work on NY

other than to try and shut it down, and only shows a lack of understanding on the part of the person who thinks media analysis is unimportant.

then you have entirely failed to see the point. Even if every piece of media being analyzed isn't important in a scholarly sense, using those skills is important for the people analyzing the media they enjoy consuming. Saying it isn't real adds nothing to the discussion

Thoroughly analyze every piece of media you consume, but knowing how to is important, and understanding that when other people are choosing to discuss and analyze media this is them exercising an important skill. If you think they don't understand it is fake so it doesn't matter

Describe and discuss why they have chosen to accept or reject ideas presented in media. Discussions will typically bring up new perspectives you hadn't considered, especially if the person you are discussing with also has media literacy skills and put thought into their opinion. You don't have to

Homelander is the hero because he is an in universe superhero, even though the entire show very obviously set him up as a villain who abused his power from the beginning). People need to think about the ideas being presented to them and not just blindly accept it. They also need to be able to

but they need to understand what the implications of the ideas presented in the media they consume are. If you can only understand a piece of media at the surface level, that is a problem. If you cannot even understand the surface level of the media that is even worse (see fans of the boys who think

If you have no ability to analyze the media you consume/think media has no affect on reality you are an easy target for propaganda. That's why media literacy skills are supposed to be taught in schools. Most people don't need to analyze Shakespeare on a daily basis,

Dude I recently read one of his newer books because I saw it on my Goodreads tbr and was confused why it was on there and (as an exmo) it is so Mormon it hurts. Teenager is mad his dad calls his dead mom his "wife" because they were married "til death do us part" so they aren't married anymore

Unfortunately this is too real. There are a lot of doctors who aren't good at their jobs but because the American health care system is fucked they stay in business. He could have had issues from your insurance but he also could just be terrible at his job (ive seen way too many who are)

They're Mormon so they believe what JS said about the Bible having parts that are translated incorrectly (so you CAN pick and choose) but even if I use the BOM (which is supposedly the most perfect book in existence) they still get mad when the lessons are the opposite of trump/right wing America

My family argues he didn't break laws he was killed because the Jews bribed the Romans and then they deliberately deny proof to the contrary. Any Bible story they don't like I actually made up and if I show it to them in the Bible I'm taking it out of context because they don't want to believe that

He was trying to subtly say he doesn't agree with her while really focusing on how he's choosing not to insult her because he's grateful to her, and honestly being able to ignore the effects of her actions and deliberate choices to try and hurt people is a sign of the privilege of not being affected

I happened to see an article about it recently and in the quote in that one it was kinda like don't bite the hand that feeds you but sandwiched with a lot of him saying he has so much respect for jk cuz she brought so many children joy so does it really matter if she has bad opinions sometimes.
