If you generally believe that the dream of being a ranger is bad for people, do you also judge Winnetou for giving people dreams they use to evade their daily lives but they can’t achieve?
Yeah, I think a lot of entertainment leads to escapism which is partly a downside to me. When Roger Ebert said that video games can’t be art, and someone told him that they provide much needed escapism, this was his reply:
