no shit it's a genre. so is horror. its still the same thing you're talking about, stereotypes. you're just flailing around making no sense

that uses an actual transgender villain and mocks their masculine features and makes light of prison rape.

a great book could be written that has those same things though

avoiding stereotypes is bad actually if the story you want to tell requires them. it's almost like it depends on what you're doing and you shouldn't say never do it since its mean. no more italian gangster movies if you had your way

Political Correctness is a concept independent of quality.

i agree but you keep saying that being favorable to marginalized people is inherently good writing

Striving to create art that isnt going to reinforce negative stereotypes to its audience is good writing.

what you've described is political correctness not goodness

I already did. Feel free to ask specific questions.

what does this mean

If you feel people shouldn't consider anybody else when making art (even if it results in terrible things), then why did you link image in the first post?

So the question is raised, why do you believe those with great power should not also have great responsibility?

it's not that i don't think they should, its that they don't. i literally just said that

why is it laughable?

because it has nothing to do with whether it makes a horror movie good and also its cringe

Shablagoo posted...

Perhaps not literally, but it was heavily implied. Either way, Im curious to hear your answer to it.

but can you explain what he did ask. you commended him for the point after all

an artist also has no responsibility to make good art. That doesnt mean the example in the OP isnt good advice in the modern era

its laughable advice

pet peeve: a topic which is mostly people talking past each other

part of the problem is people type a bunch of super obvious shit like "art can affect people broseph" like they're telling you something new and then want to know why you don't respond

an artist has no responsibility to be culturally mindful

You are asking waaaay too much of TC. Critical thinking is not his forte, as demonstrated

got my ass

imagine thinking a competent writer cant weave in a supporting character to demonstrate how a serial killer has sewn distrust in a community, thereby developing a bleak and progressively oppressive atmosphere that lets the audience feel the killers presence even when they arent on screen.

idk who you are but pls stop acting like a clown about this subject. Go sit down and actually think about this subject matter before mindlessly regurgitating whatever zero-effort, knee-jerk anti-SJW platitude you heard.

i'm sure they can but to prescribe that as good writing opposed to not doing it is idiotic

imagine if storytelling didnt evolve and we just watched Psycho ever summer, instead of every horror movie made since

extraneous subplots so you don't hurt somebody's feelings is not evolving storytelling. please sit down

I mean if you want to write a story about a transvestite serial killer, nobody is stopping you.

You should at the very leas not have that be the only representation of gender-nonconforming expression though. Maybe have a cross dresser or transgender supporting character on the good side, idk face prejudice because the news has everyone else in the apartment building suspect them of being a violent psychopath. I mean, if there was a transvestite serial killer running around, its not an issue that wouldnt affect or be relevant to those communities.

if you just have haha the killer is a man in a dress and thats literally all there is on that front, you look a little sus

imagine if the near perfect movie psycho thought it had to do this

Shablagoo posted...

Sure.

Art affects culture. You seem to be positing that great artists have no responsibility whatsoever despite this fact. So the question is raised, why do you believe those with great power should not also have great responsibility?

that's not what he asked

Shablagoo posted...

I doubt TC can answer these questions in any sort of satisfying way, but I commend you for bringing them up.

can you even explain what this is supposed to mean:

C) If you feel people shouldn't consider anybody else when making art (even if it results in terrible things), then why did you link image in the first post? You could have just said "Artists should just create art without considering anybody else, it's okay to exploit stereotypes"

I still remember all the hype surrounding the phantom menace before it came out and how excited kid me was for it, then falling asleep in the theater and only waking up when the duel of the fates started at the end.

Probably the best way to watch it tbh

a) maybe but that's not an artist's responsibility to worry about
b) no?

2009. way the camera floats around in that movie is exactly right. dickensian grotesque-ness of the design perfect. its exciting

So you consider minorities more horrific?

no but exploiting that as a writer is totally valid

Funkydog posted...

It does none of these things though. Do you think disabled people should be cast as villains for their disability then?

i dont know about you but when i see someone with cerebral palsy in a horror story i don't immediately know they're the villain. i'm saying do it if it's right for the story and don't outright not do it to be socially conscious

Is TC's gimmick to post "leftist" things he thinks are silly and then not be willing to have a discussion about it? I feel like I've seen this from him on multiple occasions.

sounds like ur the one not having a discussion and just ad homineming

What's wrong with what they said not to do? I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on that.

it makes a dumb assumption about the reader and generally has nothing to do with good writing, particularly horror which is supposed to be um horrific
