I was just having a conversation yesterday about how moral compromise is a thing that all people have to wrestle with. One can go buy makeup that wasn't tested on animals and feel very pure about your consumeristic choice without ever realizing that because the product wasn't tested on animals, it was instead tested on people in dire enough financial straits that they could be convinced to put untested products near their eyes for $50.

...ahem, pardon my hobby-horse.

The point being, moral choices that appear simple are often spackling over some information gaps that reflect a more complicated world.

I also love optimism in fiction! But the willful choice to consume primarily things that meet (particularly someone else's) ~standards~ for media is...worrying :/

Tumblr, I'll miss you for the tits, but not your take on neo-puritanism
