No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

First, think about when you see something in film that doesn't make sense. For example, the final season of Game of Thrones when Danerys goes bonkers out of nowhere. Everyone thought that made no sense because in their own lives, personality is generally stable. People don't go from being altruistic to genocidal because of a bell. Watchers then blamed the producers for making a terrible decision with the season due to ulterior personal motives.
Think about what a racist's life looks like. What do their social environments look like? They likely only have a few people of color (PoC) around if any. They may have interactions with PoC at work, but since work is somewhat of a forced experience because their coworkers were chosen by someone else, that's what interactions there feel like: imposed. So to them, life is a bunch of a White people and PoC are impositions. This is reality for them.
When they see a movie that doesn't reflect their reality, they notice it and try to make sense of it. Applying what their reality is, they see the PoC as being imposed. The right-wing media then plays off of this and tells them that it's because a progressive boogeyman is trying to make reality different for nefarious purposes. Progressive people are blamed for their discomfort and so it goes.
Usually replies like these end up being someone's own little bullshit perspective, but I think you really nailed this. I'm glad that I took the time to read it. It really helps understand someone else's completely different world, and therefore completely different perspective.
And so it goes.
