You can definitely discuss it here, although I regrettably haven't been paying attention to it lately. Too depressing.

She said something that was similar enough that, when taken out of context, sounded like it. She did a lot of that during this campaign.:sigh:

fair enough. my csgo buddy did compel himself into buying bf1 so i've been playing it semi-regularly as of recent, but havent gotten my hands yet to the new map as he has to wait or freebie access next week

in case you were wondering, the balance/map/gameplay adjustments they are making are fairly decent, and the ui/ux is still steaming garbage

you aren't very good at reading considering you missed the two times where I said fight club is bad, and also the paragraph musing on how people who are set into habits/aesthetics of machismo (as palalalnuk and kanye are) will probably be unable to deliver an effective critique on machismo

you opened with "audiences are useless look at how many people are totally into fight club" :smug:

you've also never address the whole weird race dynamic that's going on here

I didn't say audiences are useless, I said that authorial intent isn't automatically gleaned. even a well meaning artist whose message is taken wrong is at fault for choosing that subject matter and not taking the right precautions.

plus what "whole weird race dynamic" is there to talk about? sorry I don't like one particular black guy for being a poo poo person, don't know how that says something about race. didn't say anything bad about a genre, or black artists in general. I think youre building up kanye to be something more than they are based on their strong personality

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

This is the wrong conclusion for death of the author. It isn't Zootopia's problem that conservapedia thinks it's about sjws framing manly meat eaters or some garbage. And apocalypse now isn't a failure because soldiers would watch the helicopter scene to get psyched up

failure/not a failure is too reductive. apocalypse now sends the opposite message as intended to a significant number of people. that doesn't make it a failure, but that contrary message still matters.

Yeah I'm being glib or whatever.
War movies in particular will always be enjoyed "for the wrong reason" by a big crowd of people. For that genre at least it says more about the viewer in how they perceive the media. I believe that's the general rule for all media. I think it's rare for an author to gently caress up so bad as to send the opposite message to people receptive to the intended message

a problem with art distributed in mass media is that it will be seen by many disparate groups who can interpret it an many different ways.

I think if you want to cut down the likelihood of an unintended audience gaining the wrong message from a work, you have to either cut back the scale of distribution/accessibility or you have to do away with any subtlety in your message to account for likely misinterpretations.


I don't think we get the luxury of placing art in a realm separate from the other forms of communication. I don't actually propose doing anything about it, other than a general message of "artists you should be responsible with what you say"

there are journalistic guidelines for reporting on suicide because there's historically a documented rise in suicides when reported on in depth (or the classic example is the rise in suicides following some romantic novel whose protagonist committed suicide)
