Relatability in media is so fucking overrated. I don't give a shit about feeling "represented" I wanna see new or interesting perspectives from the media I consume. I want to be thinking about them for a long time after I'm done with them because I want them to be interesting.
And I'd like whatever I'm consuming to be, like, actually good too. I know art is subject and all that meaningless bullshit but I wanna know that actual attention and care went into the production of something I enjoy. You don't get too much of that nowadays.
Like "Hey you should view this thing because it has good representation of this and that"
Yeah but is it any good? Does it even have any worthwhile selling points? That's what I give a shit about. And I'll probably never know because I'm averse to people trying to sell me that.

This thread brought to you by me waiting for my girlfriend to get out of work so we can eat milkshakes.
