i feel like alot of people don't seem to understand that when people online are like ""I want a movie where the man cries" or "I want an anime where they don't sexualize little girls" they don't actually base weather or not they want to watch a piece of media on "does this have a trope i like/don't like". they just want the media they already like to have not have that shitty trope. when somebody complains about common tropes in shonen anime and you are like "well maybe you should stop watching shonen anime" it's like no they actually do like one piece they just don't like the occasional transmisogyny that sometimes comes with it.
like yeah i guess if i wanted to watch media that is not bad, i could watch media that's really good, but alot of media that's really good doesn't have the elements that i enjoy from media that is bad, so you see the issue here?
like i suppose if i don't enjoy the homophobia in persona 5 i COULD just watch downtown abbey but i don't think it has quite the kind of gameplay and visuals that i enjoy in persona 😔
