While we have access to OF because it's on Youtube, we are not the original intended audience. What is creator's intent? This is Thai media made for a Thai audience. ![]() Who is this character? How have they been characterized? What do they know? What don't they know? What could be motivating them to behave this way? The world was constructed by Jojo and Ninew, Den, Best, filming, lighting, costuming, set design, etc. Not just what the characters say and the acting on the screen. I am upfront about my bias, you will see it right away from my blog, but I am more interested in the art because to romanticize some characters or villainize others just because you have a CP preference is just a NO for me.Įveryone gets judged fairly by the same measuring stick □ I've just had a lot of trips around the sun to figure out that groupthink should always be challenged.)īut if you recognize yourself doing this, start to ask "who is presenting this information? What is their bias? What is their motive? Are you being told what to think? Be really wary of people who make big statements without support. And it's okay if you didn't realize you were doing it. I will be honest, I would be embarrassed to say that out loud. ![]() Somebody TOLD you what to think and that's why you think that way. I've seen people say "someone told me this or that about these actors" or "from what I've seen about what people said about Mew on reddit, he is a master manipulator" and "the people I follow said" some even in tags on my own posts and I'm like "you realize what you just said/admitted to, right?" If the opinions on this site about OF were more fair and not so quick to romanticize some characters or villainize others, I probably would have not started posting opinions and just come on Tumblr to reblog some gifsets to be honest. I think society as a whole is better when different people share their different POVs. I always for representing the minority opinion. Do not think that just because an opinion is popular that it's right. I am actually really against this kind of surreal groupthink/hive mentality thing happening in this fandom.Īnd I just want anyone coming across this post to know it's okay to not share the same opinion. In fandom as well as life, it is extremely easy to surround yourself with only opinions that validate your own. except a certain someone who shall not be named. Literally all the characters have to pay the piper/take accountability for what they do. There might be a reason why you behave the way you do, but it does not excuse your actions, you still have to take responsibility for it. He always says "what you did to me," so it's debatable.īut accountability is a big theme in the show. And we actually still don't know if Mew considered it cheating. I used to be really black and white about cheating in real life, but now I don't know, real life is FAR more complicated and grey. Because if your barometer for a person is just that they are just better than another person, your bar is LOW? Or this couple is better than the other? Because in real life, is your barometer for a relationship just that it's better than someone else's relationship? Does your own romantic partner need to be the one who is deemed the most popular choice? Or do your own life decisions have to be what others would do in your situation?ĭifferent choices for different people □ And who has a right to judge you for your life decisions? They don't know why or how you came to that decision. ![]() I don't get the moral comparisons between the characters. And I really like that he said that because yes, Only Friends is making us think about what we would do in these situations, but also try to understand why do these characters or people in general behave the way they do. And he then made a comment saying it's like a morality drama. I can't find the clip now, but Off was on GMMTV Live House and asked if people were watching Only Friends. Only Friends as a morality drama, groupthink & media literacy
