The effects of media on a normal teenage girl in 2004
I have now learned, without a doubt, that I am a child of the nineties media.
I saw this
in a NY Times article.
It had no effect on me. None. I didn't gasp, didn't shudder, didn't go cold. It's like a scene from a movie. "Oh, that's violent, how unpleasant, I don't want to watch that one."
I don't even voluntarily watch gory violent movies.
It's just what I've absorbed. Through osmosis, I guess.
So now I can look at a picture of a real man's dead body without turning a hair. I hate the world. I hate mass media. I hate violence. I hate it all.
