Bluesky post by Annie Craton:
A month or so ago I saw a post by someone saying "we should all admit that Neil Gaiman has always been a shitty writer." That whole knee jerk revisionism. No, man, that's part of the whole horror. He's an internationally recognized writer. Objectively a good writer. But he's also a fucking monster.
We have to keep doing this. We have to do this with books and films and games and any meaningful media. Recognize that it's skillfully crafted, recognize the meaning it has to you, and do the terrible math of weighing it against who created it and what they have done.

This is a basic facet of media studies. How do you reconcile the reader's relationship with the work with the author's indelible fingerprints upon the work, and what else those fingers have done? There isn't, has never been, an easy answer. Ease simply does not factor into the equation
We have done this so many times with authors! Within living memory, even. Within this *century,* even. We are still doing a protracted version of this today with Rowling. You must do this work.

The perpetual usage of the "get out of complexity free" card by acting as though you alone have always been woke to this horror by saying that an award-winning, massively influential comic series was Actually Poorly Written is just the most dogshit cowardly move. Worse than "Hatsune Miku wrote this"

I get that some of you have your brains wired in a way that compells you to do this, but I hate it when people go "um actually the truth is more complicated than that" when I try to make general statements that sum up the concept in a simplified manner. I was not unaware that those details were there, I chose to omit them because their presence does not alter the general principle and their absence streamlines the expression to be more efficient.

Like yes, technically speaking "you can do anything except avoid the consequences of your actions" is not the most correct statement. Of course you can avoid the consequences of your actions, and the consequences of avoiding the consequences, et cetera et cetera, until the consequences of the consequences of the consequences become a domino effect that ends you up getting killed with a hammer. So although the outcome is the same, you are technically speaking correct about the entire mechanism being more complicated than how I worded it.

Sure, I can tell you to stop doing that, but I can't make you stop doing that. But there is a possibility that I own a hammer.

tonight I had the privilege of hearing a 13 year old explain the terms “cooking” and “cooked” to my 45 year old manager and she said something so excellent I have to document it.

“cooked is bad. cooking is good. you’re either in the pot or you’re holding it.”
