I think this take is just ahistorical and not rooted in the documented record. You can't pin everything on Fox, you have to see how Fox is the manifestation of larger cultural trends. You think ragebait was invented in the 1980s? You missed everything that happened in the 1900-1960.

Corporate news understood that appearing "biased" would limit their customers and drive away business, so instead they started marketing their news as "reliable," "trustworthy," "professional," so that they could grab the most attention. It was calculated and refined. 2/2
Lindsay Knight (@knightwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
This is a little bit myopic. The professionalization of journalism and the corporatization of media began in the early and mid-20th century, long before Fox News. There was a transition period from political parties printing their own papers to "yellow journalism" to "corporate journalism." 1/2
Lindsay Knight (@knightwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
While this is true, the media wants you to believe they are "fair" and "unbiased," and they spend a loooot of time making people believe it. This was not always the case, historically the media owners were unapologetically partisan and that was more honest than what we have now.

Unless the character's poverty is specifically central to the plot, then we are blasted with this strange ideological fiction that "they're doing fine, economic issues we'd face in real life would be distracting to to the silly goofs we need to put on TV."

There are a million ways you can justify changes in setting, fiction is fiction. And given that these fictions were subject to real life sensibilities at the time, it is completely justified for real life concerns around inclusion and representation to be the *exclusive* reason changes are made now.
Pantmonger (@pantmonger.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
People puffing out their chests and demanding that there needs to be a good in universe reason for changes to the sacred lore, are ignoring through ignorance or deliberate bad faith, how it was formed in the first place. Often to excuse/obfuscate their own unexamined biases or straight up bigotries.
Lindsay Knight (@knightwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
It's the perfect combination to foster self-reinforcing cycles. Confused and lonely people seek social connection, get fed bullshit by LLMs and propaganda by right-wing grifters, both of which tell them their loneliness is OTHER people's fault, so they don't seek community they seek chatbots.

Any "artist" that is using AI to create their "art" should know that their art sucks and the only way to make art that doesn't suck is by sucking until you get good. You can't do that by using a search engine that steals from better artists.
Lindsay Knight (@knightwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
I kind of wonder what sorts of art they do enjoy. Like do they believe their favorite musical artist knew how to play instruments and sing with "natural talent"? Or their favorite writer never threw away a draft? Or their favorite movie-maker just knew how cameras worked?

If someone clicked on you in an RTS what would your voice lines be? "Hi there!" "Hiya!" "Howdy. What can I do for ya?" "Mmm, I don't think so." "Nah, sorry." "Nope. Can't do that." "I don't think so. That sounds like a bad idea." "It's on. Let's get this revolution started."

The left is not at all silent on the issue, just a lot of men don't like what they hear Chuds: "I wanna get laid!" 😫 Women: "treat women like people and be an equal and respectful partner to them" Left men: "yeah, what she said, works great!" Chuds: "the left won't help me get laid!" 😫
Lindsay Knight (@knightwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
"The left is completely silent on the subject of men getting laid" your entire premise is just wrong. Feminists have been instructing men how to get laid for over a century. Did you just ignore them because they're women? They've been teaching us about healthy masculinity since before you were born!
Lindsay Knight (@knightwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
"The Left is silent on this issue" is just bullshit. We've been explaining what men need to do for decades. It's usually easy stuff like "treat women like human beings and no sex objects," "take care of yourself and those around you," "have meaningful relationships."
Lindsay Knight (@knightwriter.bsky.social)
Feminists have been telling men what they need to do for over a century. "But the Left is silent on this issue" BULLSHIT men just don't want to listen to women, they gotta wait for an "enlightened" man to come along to spoonfeed them.
