seeing a post that was made after seeing another post and having the second post remind me of another, completely unrelated third post.... yeah.
#teddy's talk
#that one was abt redemption arcs tho. the thing i'm thinking about now is flaws of the author vs flaws of the character
#and how some people really need to realise the author's intent DOES matter
#like there was this one post i saw abt a character where he misunderstood something another character was going through
#in a story that has very clearly set up a narrative where patriarchy is a big problem
#like. almost every single female character suffers under it. this is explicitly highlighted several times.
#anyway the character misunderstood something another character went through bc he's a guy and despite being kind of outcast
#still benefits from being a guy. and the other character had had specific problems *because of* the patriarchal hierarchy.
#and he was like 'she hates me bc i'm privileged' which wasn't quite right.
#and this person was like yeah the author doesn't quite get it ://
#like!!!! no!!!! no that was exactly the point!!!! he's a good and sympathetic guy and the author was trying to show that even HE has trouble
#understanding properly bc that's how this kind of stuff tends to work—people who benefit from oppressive systems don't...
#fully realise just how bad it gets unless they actually Try to understand. and he's not quite there yet.
#my point is. this was clearly supposed to be a character flaw. but this person got clearly upset bc they thought it was an author flaw
#or when ppl talk about madoka and completely ignore the original intended message
#but that's another can of worms
