I think the idea that authors have the right to invalidate their fan's experience of their work is harmful to the process of identity formation and normalizes exclusive claims of intellectual property which are at odds to both how ideas are formed as a culture and instrumental to class oppression in the form of propagandizing popular media for the ends of an imposed elite culture (hegemony). The radical impulse to me is culture jamming, or radical re-appropriation and assertion of counter-narrative interpretation. However, the institutions of intellectual property are disproportionately backed by violence in the form of censorship, both literal and culturally imposed restraint of speech (e.g. fear of a YouTube strike).

This leads the only risk free avenue of dissent the boycott. However, this does the harm of normalization. The performative counter-narrative act is a co-opted endorsement of the moral legitimacy that leads to the very cultural influence that necessitates the boycott. It normalizes the idea that we hold no say in the stories we use to inform our process of self-identity. It cordons off chunks of our soul-stuff for billionaire media conglomerates to revoke on a problematic whim.

*windows voice* but what if we simply didnt support the industry standard

Hey, listen, fellow leftists, can you *not* assume that every case of depression is due to capitalism and that suicide is a better option than antidepressants? That'd be real great, thanks.

Much love,
Someone who came real fucking close to killing herself multiple times and whose life has been made immeasurably better by antidepressants

if we all whoop at the same time we'll shatter the boundaries of our dimension and get isekai'd to a bee world so i'm gonna need y'all to cooperate
