Sound of Freedom: the QAnon-adjacent thriller seducing America

6. Good grief, and yet there's a problem

with lots of "gratuitous violence (and vices)" in lots of films and made for TV series. When those vices cross the line into imaginative CTs that include pornographic evils, I'd suppose, is different for anyone, but continuing to watch is as normalizing as a warning label not to watch because it's dangerous to one's mental or (fill in the blank) health. Supposing it's purposeful back-story true crime is an insult to critical thinking skills of viewers and readers who won't waste more than the first few hints where the plot's leading in normalizing heinous bad behaviors of the "actors." Real people do indeed act out of the ordinary public norms. "Authors (who sold the book)," "writers (who deserve better wages),"casting personnel BFFs" and "producer/directors" are equally at fault as well as the censoring Tik Tok reviewers who call it out by hollering "NOT WORTH WATCHING A MINUTE OF THIS ONE; THIS CHARACTER (and by association, the actor) ENJOYS PLAYING WITH YOUR BRAIN." So OK - so warned that actors may choose roles based on their own changed religious "kernels of belief" behind CT theories, and how much they'd get paid to play successful "crime fighter heros"; suspending reality is quite different than gratuitous vice. Do you trust you can tell the difference?
