Hey everyone! Welcome to another Surreal Discussions!
Another year has gone by, so it's time to do another Surreal Discussions!
So, today's discussion is on Entertainment Controversies (or I JUST WANT TO WATCH A MOVIE OR PLAY A GAME)!
So...controversies
They are things that exist and things that can make or break a movie, TV show or video game for you. For the last few years, there's been various controversies about a movie, a TV show or a video game, whether it be an industry problem or a celebrity problem, and whenever a controversy happens with a product, people tend to not support the movies, TV shows and video games because of said controversies.
But, what if there was a movie, a TV show or a video game that you were really looking forward to watching or playing, but you are afraid to watch or at least, you are afraid to review a movie or play a game, because you might get some backlash from viewers who are against the movie, TV show or video game, despite the fact that you are really interested in said product or you cared about said product?
Well, I have that dilemma myself oh so many times before and let me tell you, it is never a pleasant experience to go through. On the one hand, if said movie or video game involved mistreating the people working on the projects, then I can't really support the abuse going on in the workplace since that's a subject matter that's very sensitive to me. But on the other hand, it's a movie and a video game that I was really looking forward to and I really wanted to watch it or play it. So, it might lead to me watching said movie or playing said game in secret or just not review it at all, just so I can avoid the backlash for just watching or playing said controversial product. It's a very complicated situation to be in and one that has frustrated and frightened me for so many years and sometimes, it feels like I'm being forced into a corner whenever it comes down to this.
So, in a situation like this, I just have a hard time trying to decide what is the right thing to do in this situation. On the one hand, I really want to watch said movie or play said game, despite the controversy surrounding it. But on the other hand, I don't want to be involved in whatever controversy this product stirs up. So yeah, this is a tough subject to figure out.
So, what do you guys think? What do you do if there is controversy surrounding your favorite movie, TV show or video game? Do you still watch and talk about said content or do you avoid them like the plague?
