@wirehead2501 somehow i feel like the writer's own empathy for the story they're telling makes a difference to me.
@chrisamaphone @wirehead2501 maybe the difference between those and transparently cheesy award bait might be illuminating

@chaosprime@chrisamaphone talking w/@dddagradi, he questions who those emotions benefit -- what are they in service of? $$ motivated? -
@wirehead2501@chrisamaphone@dddagradi $$ or whatever else, i feel like there's something in there about instrumentalizing your audience -
@chaosprime@chrisamaphone@dddagradi tho, this gets into the so-called purity of art and how we judge and mistrust successful artists -
@wirehead2501@chrisamaphone@dddagradi yeah, and that's some horrifically classist territory, but i think it can be skirted -
@wirehead2501@chrisamaphone@dddagradi i think you can want money and awards and hookers and blow and still treat your audience w/respect -
@wirehead2501@chrisamaphone@dddagradi i mean, tbh it *feels* like it's just whether they think i'm a manipulable automaton or a person -
@wirehead2501@chrisamaphone@dddagradi what i'm unclear about is whether people who actually think the former successfully fake the latter - End of conversation
