I know people say judgy things. I’m saying the solution is not to worry what people think. That’s why I’m questioning who decides what’s “considered” socially acceptable. Why do you value the opinion of these judgy people more than you value the opinions of yourself and your friends who have these hobbies they care about? Why are they the decider of what’s “considered” acceptable? What about people like me who read and appreciate fan fiction, for example? Our opinions don’t count?
I see. I wasn’t posting a question looking for an answer. It’s just an observation.
If you want to go deeper down the rabbit hole, the answer is religion. And I don’t value It’s opinion. It was a construct that stole power from the dictators, but sort of struck a deal with them eventually. It pushed morals that made the people do more for the dictator, obey the dictator and all that. Those morals as defined by religion continue to influence people. And people think those morals are natural or what not. They don’t realize they were indoctrinated to think that for the benefit of the powers that be. There are some reasonable morals mixed in of course. But many people can’t tell which are which.
