Today’s cartoon from Tom Gauld of “You’re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack” fame.
Gauld once again nails it:

Applies to around 95 % of popular books, movies, tv shows, or video games before embellishment with light/dark descriptors.
(Meta bonus as this also applies to rationalizations in literature vs. genre / highbrow vs. lowbrow manifestos.)
If you have something valuable to add or some interesting point to discuss, I’ll be looking forward to meeting you at Mastodon!
