A refusal to accept that all media has problems, and a lack of interest in taking a closer look at those problems, is the hallmark of someone who isn’t willing to do some closer self-examination. Everything we engage with matters, and everything we do comes with messaging and experiential programing. As someone who wants the world to be a better place, and who works towards that end, I have to be conscious not just about the media I choose to engage with (I do not, for example, read Isaac Asimov or support his work in any way, shape, or form), but the media I consume. If I pretend that everything I consume is all kittens and rainbows, with no flaws or room for examination, it illustrates a profound desire to be a good person — but a lack of interest in understanding what that means.
