Do you guys like complexity that challenges you, in the fictional media you consume?
I read a reddit comment today that said this: "People love their existing belief systems and cultural narratives being presented as complex. Regardless of archetype" and there's a different context for it but I firmly agree with it and can't help but use it to rant about an annoyance I have related to people and complexity in fiction. That sometimes people hype up something that is complex, praising it for it's complexity, but those things would just feels like it already aligns with those people's pre existing belief systems, and I get annoyed because I would think complexity means it challenge you but I would sometimes see, people would hype up complex shit that in the end already aligns with what they believe, so they aren't being challenged by shit. I find that incredibly annoying. Like I don't care for this complexity your praising if it just aligns with what you believe in the grand scheme of things. I don't understand why people hype up complex things that in the end agrees with them and never actually challenged them on a belief they hold. Like stfu there's nothing great about that. This is a mess post but I can't find the words, and think of the sentences to say this more clearly.
idk what exactly you mean by complex in this context, but if you're talking about stories with 'controversial' (in the broadest term) themes or morality that are not the custom, then ive definitely challenged myself in a way, I always try to have an open mind when it comes to any topic and I love learning about the human psyche.
