Disclaimer
TL;DR: I do not agree with everything everyone I'm interested in has done and enjoy media while being able to critique it. If you dislike these sources it's fine but don't assume my personal values off of my media assume them off of my takes. I am a human and therefore occasionally problematic but I am always open to learn and change my views. I will give you that grace as well. Thank you
I do not believe there are very many mainstream medias that are without problematic stereotypes and/or ideas. While I am ND and my hyperfixations and spins are mostly just things that bring me joy that I have little direct control over. That doesn't mean I get a pass on being problematic HOWEVER I am a firm believer in critical enjoyment. Part of my intense interest is exploring the ways these medias can be problematic and they do NOT always represent my political or personal values. I am a Leftist first. I believe in equity for ALL (not the right to discriminate as that infringes on others' rights and humanity) and worker's rights. That being said the world (especially the US - in which I live) is a bit of a shit show so I'm going to enjoy what makes me happy in spite of it all but critically I try not to blindly defend my interests and sometimes even dislike the creators of my favorite works. That does not take away from my interest in the media itself. I will not support people who are openly and regularly racist, antisemitic, transphobic and the like or right wing and fascist political advocates but it's hard to completely escape problematic media
