Re: Purple and pink are long time Bungie game colo
Posted By: General Battuta	Date: 7/3/12 6:55 a.m.
In Response To: Re: Purple and pink are long time Bungie game colo (Cody Miller) : What these people fail to understand is that culture shapes the outlook and : values of the artists that come from the culture, and so works are : representative of that culture. I do not meet many people who are : outwardly sexist, but I know a lot of people who are a little sexist on : the inside; mostly from societal depictions of women as child bearers, : emotional / non rational, feminine, etc. : And so while the creators may or may not be aware they are sexist, it is : quite possible that the culture they were brought up in has shaped their : views as partly sexist without them realizing it. As such, it's perfectly : reasonable to focus on sexism in the work. : The proper thing is not to kill the possibility of real criticism by killing : the author, but for the author to either refute the criticism and show why : it is unwarranted, or acknowledge it and learn more about his own beliefs : that his culture and experiences shaped. : This is valuable because works MUST be experienced inside a cultural : framework. Things need to be familiar and understood, so if nothing exists : in your own culture, the viewer / reader will use the closest thing in : their culture as reference. This can amount to either learning or : misunderstanding. : How could a species of aliens which do not have 2 sexes relate to our stories : about women? It would be nonsense to them. They would have to study our : culture and use that as a framework for understanding and comparison. : You cannot discount the history and culture which produced a work if you seek : to understand it. I can happily say that you've misunderstood the idea here. The idea is not to strip context, but to deprivilege intent.
