I think the poster is argumenting that even if you recognize it as pure fiction, it still affects you emotionally as if real, at least a little bit.

- hutzlibu 5y agoYes, it is a real story and real stories should affect emotionally. Otherwise no one would want to see a movie. That is part of good storytelling. It is just not a real historic story and it does not aim to be one. So I do take a bit offense at the characterization from the parent poster as a abomination. I actually share some of the sentiment - that it is not wise to numb and confuse the mind only with fiction. But fantasy and fiction is a very core part of what makes us human. Or do you take offense that your dreams at night are not real? Having fantasy and imagination is a good thing. It only becomes problematic when people cannot seperate fantasy from reality anymore. And yes, that is a big problem.
