Actually, going off my last post, I notice a trend on this site wherein most of the people on this site, especially those bitching about representation or how anime is for pedos or whatever inane bullshit is on the agenda today, seem to have only consumed a very select pool of media, one that’s almost always very recent and popular amongst that crowd. You know how I and others complained that game journos haven’t played a game made before 2010? Tumblr is very much like that, only really indulging in whatever is popular at the moment and making judgment calls on entire mediums based solely on what’s popular in that moment of time, or even just what little they know OF it (comics anyone?) or basing their entire attitudes, moral compasses and personalities around this very small pool of media

What I’m trying to say in this rambly ass post is that a lot of people’s attitudes towards media on this site could be improved by just broadening their horizons. Read a book outside of Harry Potter, watch an old ass show, find an anime that isn’t super popular on here, play a game that isn’t plastered on every gaming site/in the top 10 tags. It really helps give one perspective
