@mattklewis Maybe. Personally I have never found the "culture war" arguments either convincing, or very insightful -
@dmataconis Do you doubt Modern Family and/or Will & Grace shifted opinions about gay marriage? -
@mattklewis Perhaps, but those shows succeeded because people found them entertaining not because they were pushing an "agenda" -
@dmataconis I'm not suggesting Hollywood overtly pushes its values. That doesn't work. I'm suggesting it does so organically, & it matters. -
@mattklewis find them because they want to find them whether they are really there or not -
@dmataconis I'm merely suggesting that, over the course of years, the things we see and hear gradually impact our values and attitudes.
