I came across an interesting idea, which is the post title.

Thoughts?

If true, this might say something about why i know way more women with leftish values then men.

Ex, romantic movies. 500 days of summer: protagonist isn’t special in any way.

Vs

Avengers movies: literally the protagonists couldn’t be more god’s chosen hero.

my hero academia and a lot of animes and green lantern: you can do anything if you have enough will power, regardless of the system around you. (Pull yourself up by your uwu boot straps)

      . Seems to me more plausible that reading actual literature would affect things more than consuming entertainment – which most people understand as being shallow.

      iirc watching tv shows that have a african cast causes caucasians to build parasocial relationships with these africans, which improves caucasian perception of africans. [citation needed] So i think educated via entertainment is possible.

      “universities are leftist propaganda machines” talking point (which I believe is largely bullshit).

      From what i know it seems like “universities are leftist machines” is true. A lot/all of science is left. Ex climate change. Ex 2, turns out poverty lowers like performance therefore we should eradicate poverty.
