Doing it for money, status, or prestige should never be the goal of ANY sort of works, as it does end up degrading quality from over ambition, greed, or vanity. Trying to force to much big or hot topic issues into something causes it warp from its intention and shift focus on things that have nothing to actually deal with the plot. Even worse is having fanbases assuming thing things about the works of other and clashing over it. Toxicity in general comes form ignorance or disregard for the feelings of others. One bad apple does not ruin everything unless they are on top, but a whole mess of them can ruin anything. No one wants to be forced into something or have propaganda thrown in their face. It applies both ways. Differences or status do not guarantee you are "better". This why is important in works to portray various angles, not to show what people do but why they do it, but don't try to justify it like its reality. Even an "Expert" does not always get things right.
To my point as well cannot keep forcing one side opinions in other's faces. Need to highlight even the places where your thoughts may falter, where you lack the proper information, or are simply unsure. There is nothing more annoying than having people trying to state opinions as fact. As can be said not all truths are actually true and not lies are actually false, it all depends on who is saying it and their perspective.
Meaning and purpose that is what we all search for, but we cannot over or under reach. I value asking the bigger questions that stand to have meaning to all. For you can start with some exact question, then after the answer ask WHY? then keep asking WHY? and you will go from small narrow scope to the big wide ones. This is what I apricate the most about works and how thought provoking they can be. This is what you are aiming to do. Intertwine the connection between the moments to bigger questions we often do not think about as often as we perhaps should.
We are not the world and the world is not us. We do not need to conform to society and society does not need to conform to us. We must understand things by first knowing we may understand nothing. We are always learning.
I never like making others feel bad, but I value being honest, perhaps even brutally honest. Both the truth and the lies can be just as ugly after all, but I do not like masking things more than needed.
