I just commented something like this somewhere
But the reason people are media-illiterate is because they have a worldview that undermines clear communication and objective truth. Which means, they undermine what media is even for.
Look at how everyone's obsessed with the idea of "personal truth." Personal pronouns. Personal journeys. Personal realities. Then look at fandoms. Nobody can even acknowledge that stories have a point--a point that the storyteller intended, not a point that the audience assigns. Nobody can acknowledge that. It's all "open to interpretation." It's all "but what does it mean to me?"
Guess what, the person who wrote the book or directed the film or drew the cartoon didn't do it so that you could assign your own meaning to it. They did it so that they could transplant something from their brain and heart to yours. Something that wasn't in there before.
But you just want more of what you already like, so as it's being transplanted, you intercept and tear it into pieces until it looks like what you already like, unrecognizable from how the artist/author/filmmaker/storyteller created it to be--and then it'll fit--comfortably, unfortunately--into your closed-off mind.

The radical illusion of the world cannot be dispelled. The illusion of dispelling it is the secondary illusion of the disavowal and transformation of the world. But perhaps, in going to its extreme, that movement gets caught up in its own game and ends up wiping out its own traces, leaving the field free for misappropriation, imperfection, the original crime?
Jean Baudrillard, The Perfect Crime

Critics are bullshit.
Review scores are meaningless.
Art is entirely subjective.

Whether it be your makeup or skincare routine, beauty is subjective. It is not too much or too little until YOU say it is.

It’s quite disheartening how political correctness seems to be about prioritizing subjective emotions over objective reasoning. Logical fallacies are destroying our country. 😔

I officially hate love triangles featuring two brothers. Yikes, yikes, yikes. What in the Alabama pseudo-incest is that shit (I like you, The Summer I Turned Pretty, just not that). The opposite (love triangle involving two sisters) is fine so I am a bit of a hypocrite, but only as long as the “losing couple” doesn't kiss or fuck (Example, Little Women) and the two sisters remain close. Little brother/sister slightly innocent-crushing on older sibling's love interest before getting over it is also fine, but full on dramatic “will they”-”won't they” or even “cheating plotline” love triangle? Or when the Mc gets passed around and then dumped like a shared family heirloom? 🤢🤮
And yet this shit is on sooo many books, why do authors find it so damn interesting? It is like they are just going for the most shocking and yet still predictable vanilla shit imaginable. Like, they think incest might be too edgy for their particular genre of novel/show/whatever so they go for the second best ~scandalous drama bullshit~ thing.

My Top 50 Songs of 2023*
*not necessarily from 2023
Year number 8 of the Top 50 Songs of 2023 that aren’t necessarily from 2023 playlist!
The biggest change this year is that I did my best to try and actually sequence the playlist so I recommend turning off the shuffle I've suggested in years past and let the thing play in order.
To be totally honest, I didn't fall in love with that many albums this year BUT I did fall in love with a ton of tracks, most of which are represented here (especially the end of the playlist which skews very 2023).
So check it out. Discover something new or fall in love with something you haven’t heard in a while. See you next year!

Where in the world is a metaphysical subject to be found? You will say that this is exactly like the case of the eye and the visual field. But really you do not see the eye. And nothing *in the visual field* allows you to infer that it is seen by an eye.

If people of a different subject position than you are expressing concerns regarding a source of difficulty and/or trauma in their lived experiences, and it doesn’t apply to your experience, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. That means you are blessed with a certain type of privilege that allows you not to have to think about or deal with that particular challenge in your daily life. Instead of denying or diminishing the lived reality of others, simply because it doesn’t reflect your own, instead try active listening, keeping an open heart, and practicing empathy. Understand your life isn’t the sole reflection of the human experience. It might not be a part of your life, and that’s fine, how lucky you are, but it is very much a part of someone else’s.

Tolerance in all things denies its subjective nature, resulting in the emergence of intolerant thought devoid of reason.

Wish List for Vkm
Yo, so with vkm vol.8 coming soon in August, I was thinking about what you all would like to see next in vkm. Feel free to repost what you wish to see happen, or what you think might happen in any of the new chapters coming up.
It’s important to note that there is no shame in saying what you’d like, and this post is not meant to start any conflicts. We shouldn’t be fighting each other by this stage—I think we’re all tired anyways. So let’s just have fun with it.
My personal wish list:
-Yuuki and Zero meeting Ai and Ren again
-Ai being queen and doing some cool stuff
-Ren training, and maybe we see Ai’s reaction to her short hair?
-Some more Aogiri and Ai (whether they meet again before Kaname’s a human or afterwards)
-Update on Senri and Rima
-It would be cool to see Ruka and Akatsuki’s daughter all grown up and interacting with the other kids (who are also grown up)
-Where is Seiya? Is he safe? Is he all right?
-Some more human Kaname content, and him being an overall goof, please! (Especially if he regains his memories and the tone becomes sad again—come on, I want to see him happy for a little while longer!)
-I’m cool with either a short explanation for what happens in a few hundred years after the Empire’s formation to then meet the fam near the end of the 1000 year journey, and see the final battle (or see the buildup to the final battle). But please Hino, have it developed where it’s actually inspiring to some extent, and not rushed like vol 19.
-Possibly seeing the before context on how Zero dies, and the after, with Ai and Ren finding out, and Yuuki’s overall mental state.
-I want to know Kaname’s ending: is he gonna find a way to remember everything without going insane (as Rido once said Yuuki would do), is he going to have nightmares or hallucinations of it before being forced to drink Ai’s blood? Will he be turned back to a vampire? And if so, will he still try to be a king like before, or is he straight-up gonna be the vampire knight, who protects his daughters and friends with his wicked powers? Will he find a way to be happy? Will he resurrect Yuuki? These are merely questions, not wishes necessarily. But basically, I want to see more of Kaname’s story. There’s so much potential here, and I think Hino can easily take the cake!
-I hope we get to see more of old Takuma, possibly talking to Kaname. With the last chapter coming out, I think it’s possible we’ll see the two interact again!
-Also, I’d like to know where the others end up after a 1000 years. Ruka, Akatsuki, Hanabusa, Seiya, Senri, Rima, etc.
Alrighty, I think that was a little long, but it’s basically what I wish to see even if a little bit of it is shown. I guess some of it might seem unrealistic to Hino-sensei’s standards, but it’s worth sharing.
Who else has a wish-list?
