But I'm just not interested in the conversation that "Okay, the Air Force sank resources into it, so as a work of art it's compromised and there's an obvious *real meaning* of the movie that's pro-military and everything else is bullshit" Believe that if you want I guess

Captain Marvel is telling a certain set of stories, and some of the people who put movie into getting the movie made wanted it to just tell a story that "the Air Force is awesome", just like a movie with Beats by Dre headphones in it is trying to get you to buy those headphones

But that's not all it is, and for many people likely not even the main thing it is Like I personally seriously doubt Captain Marvel materially moved the needle on Air Force recruitment (*especially* because the "Girl Power" backlash swamped all discourse about the movie)

Well I've been doing it for years now so I guess you can just unfollow and block me if it's so annoying

I do it to get as much attention as possible, because that is the purpose of social media, and even though the marginal effect is very small at this point part of the point is annoying people like you who think that's a shameful motivation

I mostly regard long replychains like this a blog post I'm writing for public consumption, like I would on Tumblr, and I think Twitter's default behavior of treating reply conversations as "semi-private" is something I have little interest in participating in

A lot of people have said for a lot of reasons "You belong on Tumblr, not Twitter", which they tend to mean as an insult, but hey it's true I just never really got engaged with a community on Tumblr before the mass exodus because of the porn ban

Yup! You don't get a five digit number of followers by NOT trying to get attention

This is very passive-aggressive.
