Uhhh... yes? Among other things? Like the systemic issues of perpetual under-funding of humanities departments, or abysmal primary/secondary curriculum? Anybody who goes through life able and willing to accept fiction as fact has been failed by the people in their lives who should have taught them better. Why is blaming the fiction itself somehow the more reasonable option here? Because your kids are too lazy to pick up a book or actually listen to you in class so now the responsibility shifts to the media they consume? Man, I played Mortal Kombat in elementary school and I never once believed the human body had eight rib cages. **** ain't hard.
But also let's keep in mind that the stakes at play here are... being able to pick a female character model if you want? If there's a slope here (there's not), it isn't that slippery.
Got it. You don’t care about fake history in the media, even to the point of propaganda, because if the propaganda works, it’s just “all of their teachers fault”.
I completely disagree and think fake history is a problem bigger than “just the teachers”.
