Well... Here we are again, sad, alone in the dark with no pants on I decided to write another rant, and let all of my 3 followers know What grinds my gears.
To Declare the title: I'm going to be talking about the two types of people, how the media Indoctrinates us, and The movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as a prime example and the main reason for me to get pissed off at everything in order for me to write this rant.
Well now that's out of the way, sorry for not uploading, It's because fuck you and I do whatever I want.
Lets start with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, a movie that received tons of hate even before it came out. ''Ben Affleck as Batman oh no." "Every DC movie is shit anyway." "Gonna be crap." Now I'm going to be totally honest, I let these things influence me and my thought about the movie the first time, I watched it and I was like: "Meh, I've been looking forward to this and it's not as good." The movie is awesome, but that's besides the point. The point I'm trying to make is that because of all the rants and all the shit I started looking differently at the movie, my opinion was changed because of that of others, and that's plenty of reasons to write a rant, because if there's one thing I hate, It's people Trying to make their opinion mine. You have to agree with that or you're not human, love my opinion dammit!
I was, Probably like a lot of you, a sheep. I followed blindly in what others told me to follow, If someone told me this was good for me, I would believe it was good for me. You see it happening a lot in politics these days, everyone seems to have good points and everyone speaks their opinion as if it's the opinion you should have. Or in this case in movies, where everyone will tell you a movie is shit, and you will start to believe it's shit, or of course, Vice versa.
The media has a lot of influence on this, and warnings in front, I'm going to get a bit deep on this. So if you're still here, grab some popcorn, get some diet coke and some bleach because it's going to be a long one.
Media is the prime example that human kind is a herd, we blindly follow what is said to us and we expect everything said is the truth. As an example I'll take America. In the end of the race you got two president-Nominees, Hillary and Trump, and they're both not very popular, in nations other than America we are talking about it all the time, saying it's an outrage that Trump is President and that there's still chance he will get kicked off and that he will go. Now, I've never been to America, and I'm pretty sure 90% of the people that said this never been there too. so how do they know it's all bad?
Right before the Election, very conveniently the message was spread That both candidates did horrendous crimes and should never have been elected in any shape of form. I guess the media was seconds away from writing tabs like "Do not vote for (Name) Or you will get a terminal disease."
Second example is a situation now occurring on YouTube. Where the biggest Youtuber on this platform, 'Pewdiepie', is getting quite a few hate for making a pretty risky joke trying to make fun of fiverr. The joke in questions was about a couple of 'Fiverrguys' Holding a sign saying "Death to all Jews" while chanting "Subscribe to'Keemstar'." Now this joke might have gone a little too far and in my opinion it is not in my taste even if I secretly did give it a chuckle. Although the Media has completely put the whole situation out of perspective and wrote articles about how 'Pewdiepie' is Antisemitic or even going as far as that he's a Nazi, and Nazi's number 1 Idol, by using that clip, and previous harmless jokes and taking them all out of perspective, simply since YouTube and their content creators is a threat to Classic media sources such as the Wall Street Journal.
Still don't believe me? Remember all the hate to Suicide Squad how it was an awful movie and should be despised? Yea they won a freaking Oscar.
Point I'm trying to make with all this is that Media sources will do everything to convince you to their point of view. making make-shift articles and 'news' with lots taken out of context, fake news, and news that benefits them. All to indoctrinate you to their views.
I did not mean for this to be this long but I was just bummed about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice which was an amazing film, DC Comics fans hated it because it's not comic book accurate, Marvel Comics fans hated it because it's DC and "All their work is shit." and critics hated it because of one misunderstood scene and general Misunderstanding of the movie. Most movie fans loved it.
Make up your own mind people, when someone shoves something in your face, take 5 seconds and think what you want to believe and what your own ethics and beliefs are and where your ambitions lie.
Peace
