>>118723806Everyone gets too hung up on "Muh PSAs"
its amazing how people pretend drugs and gangs and dont exist in the world somewhere in the settings of shows where there are criminals and police/vigilanti group/ superheros
Like, the bad guys are inherently bad because they are bad and that is that. everyone is a petty thief or a supervllain imperialist
gangs and the mafia if portrayed dont even seem to have subliminal implication of involvment with drugs, or they have a stand in plot device for some other sort of smuggling operation, so they almost get whitewashed as "oh cool rebels who are more like the asshole who cut me off in traffic or shoplifted at the mall liek on the local news, not BAD people "
