  Even if it’s a garbage opinion everyone else hates.

  Bad advice for racists and misogynists

    We’re talking about movies.

    If someone watches LOTR and goes “what a stupid movie, they retconned the wizard dying — he didn’t even cast fireball — and why didn’t they just ride the eagles like badasses” nothing I say will make them like it, but it is a garbage opinion they formed themselves (hypothetically… I made this up)

    Sometimes racism is just a collection of unfortunate priors.

    More often, it’s just cultural alienation supercharged with an advertising budget.

    In the end, having your own view - even if it’s unpopular or outright wrong - is better than letting your understanding be shaped by someone else’s marketing budget.
