  1. Current Society prioritizes messages and representation over good storytelling. 

     

    It’s one of the reasons a lot of movies today turn out bad and still get critical success.

     

    I hate it. I want a story that makes me feel, or think. If you want messages, then fine. But putting Messages over Story is guaranteed to give you a preachy, boring Movie or Book. 

     

    And it’s made its way into our Video games. A game can still sustain itself with good gameplay, but story is still part of the package. Prioritizing Messages over Story will make the story suck, and weaken the overall package.

      I know what you mean. I don't think messages + representation and good story telling are mutually exclusive, but for whatever reason good storytellers tend to be those who don't care for representation... as though they couldn't create stories without their characters looking a certain way 🤔
