I don't think our lines of thinking are as antithetical as you think. I do agree with you that the media can alter people's mindsets in subtle ways. In mass quantities it can be even more effective. I've written essays on this subject before with regard to female stereotypes in commercials from the 1950s on. Dunno if you've ever read Jean Kilbourne but her work touches upon that subject a lot. My philosophy is slightly more nuanced than your's however, in my opinion. From my perspective, it's not so much that an individual case of a stereotype can radically alter opinions, but it's more like media in the gestalt. When you look at media as a whole, you can identify trends which are both a reflection of society and in turn reflect back onto society. I also differentiate between different kinds of media because I think the differentiation is important. A set of advertisements, movies or tv shows alter thinking more than a video game that clearly takes place in a fantasy world divorced from the real one. And personally I don't think the most recent Fire Emblem would in any way be harmful to LBG, even if those scenes were kept in. If anything, I think the overall decisions the game made (for example to have a couple actually gay relations) would contribute to a more positive outlook. I also kind of like controversial aspects in games like this, because I think creativity is overly stifled when somebody sticks to a rigidly positive script. The world ain't roses and peaches, and sometimes a good dose of bigotry, violence, suffering, degenerate sexual fetishes and tragedy can really improve a plot.

Evil Naotora is definitely more liked than Apologetic Mushroom. ![]() OMM: [I guess] Hime-Senpai's right. Super Training is easy, but idk how to get access to the Secret Super Training part. Or how much time will it take. P.S. Female Wobuffet disturbs me. Female Doduo looks cuter with long brown necks. |

I haven't read any of her stuff but I looked her up, seems legit. I'll definitely look into it. I guess then it's more we disagree on the impact of video games then. I guess that makes sense. I do agree there are opposite positive aspects in the particular game though, yeah. I don't think controversial or negative things happening in a game is a bad thing. Just as long as it isn't treated as a positive in a game with a more grounded tone, or the game deliberately points out how ridiculous everything is. It's when it glorifies it, like in edgelord games like Hatred, that I dislike it. I do agree though that the tone/setting of a game can somewhat alter how much it influences one's thinking. I definitely think no one would play Mario for years and decide they want start wanting to jump on turtles, for instance. I just feel like Fire Emblem is character driven enough that, even though it is a fantasy world, it could have an influence. But I can understand where we'd disagree on that. |
