So, there was a thread about what do you root for, Science or Magic. I like a blend myself, but so many people are so anti-religion, magic, and mysticism that... honestly, I considered a lot of you joyless.
I'm here to officially eat those words, because in the recent 'What's the Appeal of Cowboys' thread, I've admitted that I can never see the appeal of those times because if I was ever in them, my life would be horrible simply due to my skin color. I also had that issues with the Ludonarrative Dissonance thread with how the Barbarity of the protagonist made me too disgusted to properly enjoy it or take anything from it.
So, I bring the question to the masses. Can you reliably separate yourself from your Sensibilities, your Perceptions, Your Moral Standing or Beliefs to enjoy works of Art that run counter to your feelings?
