This is yet another blog post for a target audience who will likely never see it, but I want to talk about it, so oh well.
I cannot understand the people who think that fiction needs to be 'moral' or 'pure' or 'good.' Fiction is a tool, and outlet, it is a safe, non-existent (as in, does not exist in a physical capacity) way to explore dangerous or uncomfortable things. Not every piece of media is made specifically for you, but in the culture we (USAmericans) live in we are taught both explicitly and implicitly that everything we see, everything we can touch, is for us. (including other's bodies, but that is a separate conversation)
The Culture of Capitalism strives to ensnare as many people as possible into itself, one of the ways it does this is through indoctrination through mass media. In order for this to work, the mass media has to appeal to as many people as possible, which means that the mass media has to always account for the lowest common denominator. This means the smallest of the largest factions have to be appealed to. The main two factions in the US right now that media has to appeal to is the Liberals and the Conservatives. Now, this is relatively easy because the differences are so miniscule. But this also means that anything in mass media that would alienate either of those factions (or large sub-factions) must be removed so as to appeal to the widest audience possible.
A driving force behind this thinking are the characteristics of white supremacy that USAmerican society is taught. The main one that always comes to mind for me is "Right to Comfort," meaning "the belief that those with power have a right to psychological and emotional comfort" or, to put it more simply "this thing makes me uncomfortable, therefore it should not exist."
