1 min readJun 29, 2020

Tale of how we relate (empathize) with lead characters in a given story, for unconsciously justifying our consumption of the given media (or because human lack taking in long stories without relating). Most people experience consumption through an unconscious lens. Because it is difficult to dissect and track each and every moment of a given media. This is further pronounced in animated mediums of media such as movies, in contrast to text stories you consume at your own pace and pause as you struggle to collect and make sense of it all.
