If everyone should be honest and not fake, fiction should be abandoned. Fake stories try to stir up emotions about things that never happened, to people who never existed, played by people who lie for a living (actors). Plato approved!

it's not dishonest to cast an actor of a different ethnicity for a certain role. there's no rules in art, and if someone wants to put their own spin on it that is the very definition of creativity. people who insist otherwise are often boring and uncreative people. polite pleasantries are also not fake. i appreciate being able to go outside and understand that we all understand being polite and kind to each other is expected. just because you're having a bad day is no reason to be rude when we're all just out here going about our day. this post makes be think that op might be autistic and possibly too juvenile to understand what he's talking about.

under communism people will study the bible and marx (or the Quran). there is no need for entertainment slop, or fiction. your paintings, star war and gamecube will be smashed by holy men with hammers or burned.
people will live and work in communal barracks and eat only chicken soup.

the idea of authenticity you gesture at is a chimera. there are no "authentic adaptations", a book is not a maimed screenplay, a comic is not a deficient cartoon, and so on. by the mere act of changing the medium you change everything unimaginably.

i prescribe less culture warring, less resentment over social expectations, more McLuhan.

Most of the people who are against “pleasantries” are usually Allistic and older than you think.
Most of our “I hate normies” type are Allistic or HFA with normie inclination

“Authenticity” is a virtue signaling used in the arts to justify hatred for “Mary Sues” or to glorify the cliche bravado in gangster rap
