Do you usually find that movies and TV accurately represent things in real life that you have actual knowledge about? I don't, so my prior is that semi-fictionalized accounts bear more resemblance to what the writer thinks is compelling than reality.
- Nasrudith 4y agoIt is woefully common to see people unironically cite outright fiction as evidence because it supports their preconceptions. Not even "this sounds a lot like Jurassic Park" style. I have seen people actually citing Elysium as "evidence" of supposed malevolence of the rich far too often. It is part of the larger culture of bullshit in the "complete insensitivity to the truth" sense.
