Media Influence on Frames of Reference

Quote of the Day

If a man wants to cum on his girlfriend’s face because he saw it in porn, and she doesn’t feel like getting her face cummed on, we cheer go-girl and frown at the man for even watching porn at all. But if a woman wants her boyfriend to buy her flowers because she grew up being fed this action in movies, and her boyfriend doesn’t feel like it, we have no sympathy for him. We are horrified even at comparing the two things. It’s obvious to us that porn should not influence what happens in sex, but we have been so immersed in romance-porn that the idea of buying flowers for a woman is seen as what romance ought to be. The romance narrative has become romance, and rejecting the narrative becomes rejecting romance itself. We have lost the ability to distinguish!

The Other Porn Land – by Aella – Knowingless

I love how Aella can see alternate realities and express them in ways that make me laugh and almost whoop for joy at the twisting of everyone’s view of the world.

The same sort of things applies to gun ownership. “Guns are icky and only criminals have them” versus “Everyone should have guns and know how to use them because they are tools for self-defense against criminals and tyrants.”

Framing matters. Media and your peer groups dominate the positioning of the framing. Try to see through framing and get a grasp on the true reality. Seeing things other people cannot see gives you a huge advantage. We cannot all be Aella or Elon Musk, but we can do better than what we currently do. Realty is tough, really, really, tough.
