The vast majority of our media, most of our culture, has been created by artist / writer types, you know; kinda shallow, superficial, not particularly intelligent, not very well educated people, with nothing to say aside from meaningless platitudes like "all you need is love"
I guess that's normal? I dunno, I dont have any further conclusions. Maybe we should be concerned about it?
"the vast majority of our media and culture has been created by media and culture specialists" - well yes obviously, just as our technology has been created by technology specialists.
someone definitely could've used a bit more love in their childhood
Yes, everyone. The username makes it clear. Really though, the supreme arrogance of calling the whole of an entirely different industry mediocre is practically indicative of our craft at this point.
I think that dismissal culture makes no sense when it is aimed towards artists.
For me it is kind of hard to like the things I produce, because of the obvious egocentrism bias. Do I like it, because I like it, or do I like it, because I made it and had to sacrifice something for it?
When I'm judging other people's work and I like it, I consider that feeling to be more genuine, even if the creator outright panders to my preferences.
Majority of industry is mediocre. It’s in the definition of the word, ffs.
