How, exactly, does entertainment lead to anger?
Is it a manifestation of the sunk cost fallacy? One goes in thinking they'll have a good time, and when it proves to not be, instead of trying something else, they feel that the time will be wasted if they don't eventually find it in the way they originally planned?
People get angry because entertainment all the time. Trans character? Time to rage! A two second LGBT+ scene? Rage! A female playing Dr. Who? Ragin! Have Black and Asian characters in Lord of the Rings? Fuck, raging!
Comic book movies have their share of raging fans. The new Snow White remake, has people already angry.
So no actual rage, just more funny contributions to the entertainment machine which happen to portray a raging character?
Makes sense. I was starting to wonder there for a minute why someone would waste their free time being upset. But, I do recognize the fun in posting stupid shit that makes no sense.
