How do I tell people that sometimes if you turn your shipping brain off you can interact with media better
Like I hate to say it but if you can’t engage with any media without descending into full-on fandom-style shipping at the expense of the themes, characterization, non-romantic relationships, and general content of the work. You might need to take a step back from shipping and maybe fandom in general. (Also to the people in the notes of this post who are acting like I said shipping in general is terrible: What this post is saying is that if you interact with all media exclusively through a shipping lens you miss a lot of stuff. I’m not saying don’t ship things, I’m saying use your critical thinking skills.)
“There’s more to media than romantic relationships” should not be a take which causes so much anger, and yet
Obligatory mention that they’re literally using this movie as a recruitment tool for new mossad agents from younger generations. The reason PACBI (Palestinian academic and culture boycott) is around is to make people realize that normalization (yes, that’s a real political concept, zionists stop making fun of the way palestinians talk) extends to the arts and is used to encourage people to take part in the occupation, disenfranchisement, and outright slaughter of Palestinians with no cultural pushback.
