Amazing video produced by Jessie Gender along with a group of creators whom many of them are from the ** LGBTIAQ+ community** .
I knew from my anthropology class many years ago that George Lucas borrowed concept from the The Hero with a Thousand Faces.
What I did not know is that the author, Joseph Campbell is:
- A misogynist
- An antisemite
- Didn’t research properly
This explains why the hero must be a (white) men.
Carl Jung’s theory about collective unconsciousness and archetypes are also outdated and discarded by psychology.
The archetypes reduce women to “mother”, “Goddess”. etc. but never the hero.
Also, since Jung’s theory categories people neatly into archetypes, those who does not fit social norm (LGBTQIA+ people) were never represented.
When the creation is based on such shaky foundations, no wonder the Star Wars fandom turns out to be racist and misogynist.
Btw, do you know who else’s book borrows heavily from Jung? Jordan Peterson.
Hey. Its okay to not spend the hours watching the video. Just move on.
As for who started this trend, blame Google. At some point the alogarithm started rewarding long videos because they help user engagement.
Well, but what if I want to see the video because their view on a certain topic interests me. I think it js totally fair to criticise someone for making too long videos.
ETA: just saw that your post’s title is “must watch video…”. But than you tell someone to just not watch it??
