as in messaging is unintentionally bad or it’s just junk and low quality? i would preface this by saying i don’t feel a lot of guilt about consuming ‘bad’ fiction (‘bad’ fiction as in portrays immoral acts, eg. some people say “oh it glamorizes a toxic relationship,” or like, any nonsense that’s bad in real life they’re like well why show that in fiction?! well, it’s fiction…?)

nowadays with my generation there’s a lot of puritan views on sex, kinkiness, etc. or ‘bad things’ in media, and it’s just perplexing, especially since fiction isn’t really the problem, and i favor a more materialist analysis of sexual violence and a lot of people try to ascribe all sex, or like, homophobia, to ‘bad representation’… which like, i don’t think that’s the case, so i don’t really care… sorry a bit of a ramble.

just generally though i don’t feel a lot of guilt for consumption of media if i’m doing it in an ethical way (piracy in terms of obtaining media or like, using critical thinking if im watching a lowkey social darwinist/copaganda piece of media), so i guess i’m just overcomplicating the question. basically what i mean is i don’t feel guilty about consuming media with morals that don’t align with mine (like i enjoy non-marxist media) and i sure do love junk.
