Infantilization: def. To reduce to an infantile state or
condition.
Is
mainstream entertainment infantilizing America and the world, and are we, the
creatives, writers, movie-makers, game designers, studios, actors and admen, somewhat responsible?
Think
of the popular arts… fiction thrillers, the top grossing comic-derivative movies,
Comic-con…
I fear that infantilization may be a little responsible for triggering the real-life re-enactment
of uncontrollable child-like anger and violence that we have just seen in the Colorado
Batman slayings.
Nobody is to blame.
We all are.
