when people say x media is good "if you just turn your brain off"... don't know what's up with them but if something only works when you don't examine it then it's probably actually crap. You can enjoy media that's bad morally or technically while engaging with it. That's just what media literacy is.
watching/playing etc something bad doesn't magically make you a Hitler. That's satanic panic US christocult logic. Engaging with art is just like... the point, to me. Why would I boot a game or play a song for the first time if I wasn't interested in what the people behind it were trying to say?
