OK, here is something experimental…might work…might not. hopefully it will be fun. In part that’s up to you!
What i’m proposing is a regular friday interactive post called ‘objection, your honour’.
i’ll pose a scenario and then an objection. And you can decide – is the objection sustained or overruled? if you want you can add to the objection or argue against it.
So here we go: first one…
the scenario is fantasy. everyone does it. kids do it. dungeons and dragons players do it. advertisers want us to do it…especially the ones who want us to believe that bathing in a pool of molten chocolate is going to be enjoyable.
the objection? well your honours… isn’t fantasy wrong? surely playing make-believe too much distorts our expectations of real life. Take an extreme example: porn gives men unrealistic expectations of women. Or surely you’d agree romantic novels do the same to women, right?
What do you think…
