What the hell, dreams
You can't just have Bobby G act like a jerk and hope I won't notice!
I want to love my neighbour not because he is I, but precisely because he is not I. I want to adore the world, not as one likes a looking-glass, because it is one’s self, but as one loves a woman, because she is entirely different. If souls are separate love is possible. If souls are united love is obviously impossible.

Anyways, is it wrong that I really miss the pre-1960's sense of innocence and stuff (hays code movies, the Lone Ranger radio serials, Elvis Presley being all shocking and youth-corrupting)? I know that pre-1960's was absolutely horrible, a very bigoted and awful time and all that; but yeah.
Why is it that the time of nastiness was a time of gentle, innocent fiction; and this better, more free time is a time of cynical, suspicious, fiction?
Well, to an extent I think you might just be idealizing the past. Ideals are fine, but don't let them cloud your view of reality. Ask yourself why the pre-1960s seemed so innocent. And the fact that pre-1960s being horrible and bigoted was, well, pretty inextricably bound to ever other aspect of the time period and can't just be ignored.
I understand your inclination, and I understand your distaste for certain aspects of modern culture, but please don't wax nostalgic for things that don't exist. Like I said, ideals are fine, but you have to recognize that they are ideals.

I know it wasn't innocent, and I know that the reason why the media had that innocence to it was because of censorship and stuff like the hays code. Racism, sexism, homophobia treated as a mental illness; autism not understood; I'm not saying that it was a time I'd like to live at all; but I do kind of miss the moral simplicity and white-and-blackness of old-timey radio serials and Buck Rogers.
I don't mess the pre-1960's, I miss the sense of idealism and innocence, a gentleness and optimism that permeated a lot of the media of that time. (Of course, those qualities were basically federally mandated rather than being the true feeling of the time or coming from the creators themselves; though).
I just really miss the idea that fictional heroes shouldn't swear or kiss for more than a specified number of seconds. I don't at all miss the stereotypes, nationalist views, or the portrayal of women that were found in the media of those days.
I guess I just would like to see a sense of idealism, optimism, innocence and gentle simplicity but with LGBT, women, foreigners, and everyone shown as, well, people and equals. I want a transsexual equivalent to the Lone Ranger, a hero that is always good and always saves the day while being unfailingly polite and considerate. Sure, I know it wouldn't fly today (we want our fictional characters to have flaws); and it wouldn't fly then (because bigotry, which is awful).
I just would like to see some media with a feeling of "LGBTQ? Awesome. Straight? Awesome. Autism Spectrum? Awesome. Neurotypical? Awesome. Aboriginal? Awesome. Black? Awesome. White? Awesome. Women? Awesome. Men? Awesome. Atheism? Awesome. Religion? Awesome. Everyone is awesome and the world is going to get better because people are basically good and the world is beautiful and amazing.".
But, well, even to me it sounds incredibly dorky and would probably come out as overly saccharine.
And, I mean, it's not like those good qualities have left us (Just look at My Neighbor Totoro, The Lego Movie, and other stuff), and, in many ways, many of the bad qualities have left us. I guess I just want more of whatever-the-opposite-of-grimdark-is.

For a while we had no water at all. Now we have water, but it's unfiltered and it's gross and brown.
Life is also peace, joy, and gratitude.
