The whole thing about advertising is the question of whether it works at all remains surprisingly controversial And even admitting that most serious adults think ads do *something* the question of *how much and how well* they work is shockingly understudied

Yup I do love it, actually, and I greatly dislike movie reviews of the form "By portraying this thing you have increased the societal prevalence of this thing and harmed society"

I think this is a tendentious argument and you know why it's tendentious -- I can be mad at a movie for being offensive because it subjectively offends me whether or not I have data that the movie harmed society

In fact I often am, because the movies that offend me are movies nobody saw

I am not saying that social criticism of movies is beyond the pale, or that we're not all speculating about this shit when we talk about a movie being racist or offensive or having a horrible moral message But I am against simplistic Truffaut's Maxim readings

Or at least if you want to apply them, apply them fairly and across the board The whole MCU is bad, period, Captain Marvel isn't particularly bad other than that it's successful (largely because it is good in its own specific ways while being bad in the ways they're all bad)
