What do you mean you don't want to watch my high IQ sophisticated misery porn depicting lived experiences of people whom I never lived as and only basing their experiences from my own biases from a privileged background to which many of their experiences seems nightmarish such as *gasp* actually loving and caring for your husband and children or *bigger gasp* akshually wanting to protect the status quo that makes me content instead of engaging in constant deconstruction to dismantle the underlying systems of power for its own sake?
