This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Ah, so you're saying that some portion, perhaps very minuscule, of the audience, would be enamoured with the bad guys as role models.
But, you see, that's quite different from what I quoted originally as: “[these artists] romanticize the mafia and army nonetheless, and in general media glorifies its subject matter regardless of the author's intent“.
You seem to agree with me that a small share of especially stupid people would derive their own messaging from the art. This doesn't change the fact that this media, in general, does the critique quite alright, as opposed to what the above quote says.
