Digibro the best anime analyst #4: The disturbed mind of a pretentiously...(the problem with subjectivity)


Digibro the best anime analyst #4: The disturbed mind of a pretentiously…

looking back on this with a more empathetic lens, I get where he’s coming from in spirit. He focused on how it made him feel so he could appeal to people emotionally so they can have just as good a show as much as a pleasant experience based on his feelings at the time. But the problem is he emphasizes the feeling more than the structural analysis.



I used to be like that, but as I commented before a year prior, it ’s still for the wrong reasons, if it’s about feelings then it boils down to unfounded justification than analysis, the stabdard will always shift if its just feelings.



Fact is- feelings change, emotions are subject to fallacy but objective observation based on tried & true standards (even if they oppose how you feel) doesn’t contradict itself.


When feelings is your standard, you do what Digibro did here, you contradict yourself, you don’t even commit to how you thought you felt because how feel now maybe not be what you felt 2 hours ago, let alone 2 or 20 years.



Liking something because of how it made you feel, and it being good because it’s good because ABC to Z are two different things.


I like Dragon Wars 2007 because it’s entertaining, but Dragon Wars 2007 is a garbage film, in almost every way. Just because I like it doesn’t mean it’s good.


Spider-Man 2 2004 is a well made film, good acting, good production, but despite growing up with it, it’s actually one of LEAST favorite films.

So inversely, there is a difference. Regardless how it made you feel in your feels, what did the show/movie/book actually do?

There’s but so much feelings can do on it’s own. 


This is why the “everything is subjective” stance doesn’t have any weight, if everything in subjective then so is the statement “everything is subjective” equally meaningless;  if there is no standard, why even heed that quote to begin with if just anything goes according to individual whim. 


This is why dichotomy & standards exists, not to prison us, but to guide to make the best possible judgements (Judgements, something else people seem to be allergic to despite doing it everyday).  



There’s nothing more depressing than being aimless & just slave to impulse.

ThatAnimeSnob "Critical Moister and Sneako are spreading the cancer of relativism" - How hedonism contributes to devolution

https://youtu.be/V1gR4uNF7HY

 Facts. And even if it was legal, that's where our humanity kicks in and opposes corrupt policy and government that preys on children

But if your humanity has been warped and dulled, "tolerance" matters more than sanity. Gov. can control you as long as you "feel good" about whatever imposition is being enforced, or how the collective party feels about it: It's 1984 in a nutshell.

Hedonism is a means where Governments control stupid masses by making pleasure the reason to live and die

That's how hedonism accelerates devolution. Culture redefines standards, that which makes you doubt, judge, criticize and think. Standards are that which separates you from the animal, a controllable entity.

Traditional values is repressed and indulgence is spread rampant. Repress standards: because people using their brains is dangerous. Encourage fetishism/lustful obsession, then you have a dumber population, easier to control.

Its all a prison for your mind, control.

And the ones on top pump it into you through pop culture your entire life, how? They have ownership of everything you see and internalize into your subconscious, the elites have control of the narrative. Who do you think owns the companies that all seem to say and spout the exact same thing, namely the News. Hollywood propaganda.

That's why you keep seeing the same thing, repackaged but delivered the exact same way. That's not creativity or diversity, that's the same people selling the same propaganda that they want you to digest. Whether willingly or even if you reject it, it still lives in your head rent-free because it's everywhere, and you can't escape it.

That's how you become a "product of society", you consume, tolerate, be passive, question nothing- and not a Success story of your parents doing their goddamn job. A product consuming product shilling product, consuming. Question nothing.


Criticism is what keeps society from becoming an insane asylum, inhibition is not oppression, it's necessary, it's discipline.
