Without reading (I am a staunch antiintellectual, yuck), is diegetic essentialism the boiling down of a text into strictly what happens within the text and ignoring the fact that it’s humans who consume the text and that that process can create meaning beyond that of the literal text?
Ok that was great. I love when someone puts an inexplicable feeling into concrete terms. Once with this DE stuff and twice with the the banger within a banger when op calls to stop calling everything fascism. Thanks 🙏
the wild thing is that this excellent term, which so accurately describes the utter decripitness and shallowness of pop culture and media today, came out of a shitposting subreddit for fucking WH40K lmao
40k has a lot in its favor to cause that thought to come into being and result in an essay like that. Namely the chuds who take the propaganda from their guys at face value. They are frustrating to say the least.
I IMPLORE you all to read this https://hexbear.net/post/763625, diegetic essentialism is a waste of time and infantilizes you. Please, stop it.
