Ordinary Banana

was the experience of encountering characters in art and stories that you relate to, whose lives resemble your life, remotely common until recently?

@literalbanana @thesublemon is this a coherent question, and do you know the answer

it’s coherent at least in the sense that it’s clear to me what you mean

in previous regimes there was presumably a much smaller group that the modal art was for/about

one sub-question is whether humans in previous regimes (small tribes-ish) were a lot more different from each other than we are
