The gayest marvel movie is Captain America: The Winter Soldier you cant change my mind. That dorito bitch dropped everything to save his boyfriend when nobody would help him. He literally let him beat the SHIT outta him and then said “I’m with you till the end of the line.” Bucky broke out of 70 years of brain washing and was like ‘oh shit he my fucking boo’. Then that shit crashed to the ground and still confused as hell he saved his boos life. Theres no heterosexual explanation for that.

we are in a media literacy crisis

friendly reminder that characters don't need to be saints to be entertaining. and telling a story does not mean endorsement. art does not need to be all about morally good people.

IDK if this was meant as hyperbole but it's literally true:

We are genuinely in a crisis of media literacy, with ever fewer genuinely factual resources available in the style and language used by contemporary audiences.

It may sound condescending, but we genuinely need to remind people, or worse, explain to them for the first time that art is not evidence of real world behaviour.

So, thank you, for this reminder. Genuinely.

You're correct:

Art does not need to feature exclusively morally pure characters. Art is not proof of the creator's secret, violent desires.
