#and frankly consuming media is fairly easy lol. u arent being tasked to write a book for a grade

being so against unfamiliar things is kind of a sad pov to have. Whether a book is old, a movie isn't made by the most popular studio full of famous actors based on an already recognizable IP, music by an indie band, whatever, especially if it's literally foreign, i think it is bad to confidently refuse to engage w different things. Like... why not put some effort into being curious about things in the world, instead of boasting about being comfortable and mocking others.

#personal #a 6 y/o girl being into barbie is understandable. a teen girl liking romance. if ur a grown adult and saying how anything not YA is a snooz #fest i think that is bad tbh... #i dont think its abt being 'intellectual' (tho its not bad to think abt things) but even just the base act of trying smth new #and frankly consuming media is fairly easy lol. u arent being tasked to write a book for a grade #and even if u struggle reading u can try. look up words. reread what u dont get. ask others #a lot of those posts just have a very shitty uncaring attitude that i remember from hs #and it is annoying to see ppl act immature #not to mention the ppl publishing counting on these ppl to mindlessly consume whatever's most palatable #i wont say im offended or anything (bc it more shows their insecurity) but if im being mean i think it is dumb #and sad so many seemingly refuse to try the scary hypothetical 'foreign 3 hour black and white' film
