YEAH FUCKING????? everywhere you go there’s a rabbit with a fucking carrot girlies wake up???? “fiction doesn’t affect reality” ass mfs when the advertising campaign works and they buy a subaru
"fiction doesn't affect reality or your thoughts" niggas when i show them how people will buy rabbits and black cats for easter and halloween respectively and give them up for adoption once the season is over (and how people used to abuse black cats as the result of them being bad luck), how dalmatians blew up in popularity after 101 dalmatians came out (and how golden retrievers ALSO got really popular because of the buddies movies), how sharks were hated and overfished after jaws released to the point where conservation efforts had to be put in place for them, how weeaboo culture is founded on the idea that Japan is EXACTLY like anime, how racist propaganda in fiction is spread, how US cop and military movies actively bolster the reputation of the US judicial system, how wasps and bees are treated differently because of their perception in media (the emphasis on bees being sweet little creatures that want to polinate vs wasps being angry assholes when they both do kind of the same thing), and to top it all off,
