Recently saw an old video of Adam Lanza (school shooter) playing dance dance revolution really well. I had seen it forever ago but recently stumbled on it again. Without context it’s just some skinny kid crushing it at DDR. But, with hindsight its one of the most uncomfortable videos to watch I can think of. So, media of any kind that isn’t inherently a problem but with additional context becomes freaky.
A whole lot of normal, popular media ends up having pretty disturbing messages and biases baked in.
For example, most historical fiction is going to whitewash the past in order to have likeable (to a modern audience) characters. Another one: movies about authority figures tend to have them causally doing crimes, or war crimes.
It’s not even a deliberate propaganda thing (with a few notable exceptions). Entertainment and pandering is the main business, whatever message comes second. And, producers come from a certain background with certain biases, which is why realistic depictions of poverty, or even lower middle class life, are super rare.
