Maybe not politics, but I fucking hate how much politics is infused into media criticism these days.

Maybe because media is political?

Yeah, but, I mean as in the type of reviews that are the reviewer inserting their own personal politics into their take.

That’s what happens in every political criticism? Obviously you should criticize on the basis of tech and music if that is the section you are criticizing, but if you are doing general and there are political aspects of a media then it would be expected I assume.

Well, I don’t wanna name names, but you know the type of reviewers that complain about “wokeness”? Or on the other hand, people calling certain media “right-wing coded”?

Oh, you mean the people using shallow buzzwords instead of actually offering real substance to their criticisms. The difference between calling Odyssey “woke” and someone saying they don’t like the politically unnatural charge of castings and historical deficiencies that underline a hijacking of an oral tradition of the very people whose government contributed funds?

or the difference between someone calling Citizen Vigilante right-wing rather than saying that the call to action and geopolitical viewpoints across culture and ethnicity are innapropriate and could lead to real present harm and bigotry?
