the answer to problematic fiction isn’t to ban everything with a whiff of Bad Ideas in it, it’s media literacy. the ability to frame and contextualize what you see, to really know what the Bad Ideas are and why they’re bad, and to figure out what the author was actually trying to say, this is how you lessen the potential real world impact the Bad Ideas can have.

media literacy is what antis should advocate for, but they don’t, because they themselves don’t have any.
