Previously discussing anime and other media influences, an influence is productive when people recognizing what they are seeing or hearing and then place it into proper context. Writing book reviews and frequently looking for hidden context, sometimes unknown by the writer, learning how to make choices in a simulated atmosphere is safer than going out into the world without preparation.
People place important bias on removing anything subliminal from all books, films, shows, music and so-on; however, this is unrealistic. Events happen as they will without stimulus. Having an opportunity to reflect on a situation empowers people to evaluate what they learn.
In "Messed up Cartoon Characters" an issue revolves around the birth of an unwanted child or event. There are many children born under these circumstances. While a person says, "It is not the child's fault," it is difficult for people to accept shortcomings. Understanding a person should never hate their own child makes it impossible for a parent to completely accept the child, because they refuse to hate them.
This does not imply abusing or harming the child. This means allowing the mind to look at all parts of the event, in private, not hurting anyone in order to find associated reasons for what happened; in the end, like the child completely. People want to shutout negative thoughts and emotions; however, it is important to find real answers. Hate and anger are barriers to deeper emotions of inadequacy, sadness, abuse, threats and more.
The interaction between people watching "Blood Plus" should be a conduit to open up new realizations through addressing the subconscious plan to create a new Super Ego. When a person makes these connections and stops demonizing "monsters" a person begins to relate to people on a real level, so the conscious may create better options to handle problems.
A person may realize, they are alive now and want to live. They may reflect on personal tendencies or realize harming anyone is wrong. Neither the protagonist nor antagonist is completely virtuous. A person may realize they need to protect themselves and protect other people from similar ideals. In any event, the end result is positive if they were attempting to gain deeper insight.
People are creatures of communication. Someone has to mention passive entertainment is faulty. Frequently there are underlying meanings and intent hidden in the context. A person must compare the context to their values.
We assume adults are intelligent beings with these capacities, while children are not; however, learning to evaluate input is a skill children may learn with the guidance of a parent. Perhaps the child imitates a character on a cartoon show. They are irritating and it is time to learn events on television should not be applied to real life situations. Learning begins as they place random information into realistic terms.
The value of entertainment is allusive. It is important to realize if you can find hidden context and evaluate the information, another person is also capable of doing the same. Inhibiting a learning process or assuming, "I am the only one," has consequences. Someone obsessed with this type of entertainment will make realizations when it is appropriate. There is no reason to believe everyone mimics everything they watch.
