So I stumbled across this
And the too long did not watch is this: In trying to warn about escapism problems it cause the worst escapism ON ITS SELF. This gets to the roots of what a Brian and other have talked ...
... about. Escapism is not the problem. The problem is thinking its just harmless entertainment or worse: something that worthless or toxic to humanity. ALL THINGS ARE TOXIC IN HUGE AMMOUTS. That every medium(anime or games) that is new or worried about its fans misses the point
That being people want to see, play or read of something BEYOND this world. That want to experience of something grand, amazing or scary. They want A DAMN ESCAPE THAT MAKES THEIR LIFE BETTER. Why media of every damn kind seems to be a in a rut besides those upstarts is they ....
... forgot they're only there for the reader, gamer, or viewer. The market decides. Your mission is to direct and connect. What happened to EVA was it wanted to Direct the masses away from over-consumption but it connects to well to the base desires that exact opposite happened.
Rebuilds same thing happened again. A warning doesn't work. Why the right and positive forces must make culture again is people want to be inspired. They want to be Luke, Aragorn or FRODO. The man or Hobbit that makes a difference. Their life might never be that but inside them..
....they watch, played, lived with those heroes or villains. They went there and back again. That then might wake up knowing life sucks. But there is good and evil and grey in this world but I still got to do my part to try to make it better....
... because it can be done. Because it's Cool because I WANT TO MAKE IT BETTER. IMO the real reason for the West's rot boils down to those want to make cool stuff to entertain people were pushed away to "more productive" careers. Guess who took over? Those that want control ...
not inspire the masses or to warn of things instead of showing the way to fix things. OR JUST MAKING PEOPLE HAPPY TO EXPERIENCE YOUR WORLD. Entertainment is just that Entertainment. When it looks in on its self or tries to control instead of guiding that's when the ship sinks.
To end this Rant. To anyone who wants to make media. DO IT. Our world needs other worlds to show us possibilities. The best Anime I can point to that Realized that Eva didn't is RE: Creators. That the response of escapism on the CREATORS to make the world better. Do that->Create
