That's not what is actually happening though.
Hym "It isn't a victim vs victimizer narrative. That is clearly not what's happening here. It's NARRATIVE vs WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. It's not even epistemology vs ontology anymore. It's Jordan Peterson's imaginary interpretation of events vs the things that actually happened in reality."

Narrative Deadweight

A character, part or sub-plot in a book, or movie that adds nothing to the overall story.
Ron: "The part about the protagonist's goldfish was total narrative deadweight, but it did give us a great fish funeral scene."

Narrative Structures

Mjollniranism views narrative structures as blueprints for manipulating human communication through neural linguistic programming. Practitioners (Mjollnirians do not do such malicious activities) employ intricate storytelling techniques to exploit cognitive biases and drive desired outcomes. By crafting narratives that resonate with deep-seated desires and fears, they guide individuals toward predetermined responses. The approach involves dark psychology, linguistic programming, and strategic storytelling to exert covert influence. Villains seek control through linguistic cues and psychological anchors, ensuring the message is internalized. However, orchestrating these operations successfully requires rare intellectual caliber, often resulting in anticlimactic outcomes.
Imagine a scenario, using narrative structures, where a charismatic cult leader crafts a compelling narrative around salvation and enlightenment, using a devoted follower as a mouthpiece to convey persuasive messages to potential recruits. Through careful scripting and psychological manipulation, the leader influences the emotions, beliefs, and behaviors of the audience, steering them towards submission and unwavering loyalty.

Meta-narrative

And it isn't 3 note.
Hym "No. Shithead. There is an entire anime dedicated to the multiplicity of meta-narrative that can be derived from this. What the actual fuck are you talking about? Do you know it's name? It's coming out with a 3rd season. There are literally dozens of meta-narrative in here. It's a literal masterpiece by all relevant metrics."

Narrative Inertia

When the current media narrative has so much momentum that all news sources are covering the same topic and ignoring other unrelated news.
Science Dude: We finally figured out cold fusion! This is going to shock the world!
Friend Dude: Good luck, the pandemic has such much narrative inertia you'll be lucky to get a mention at the bottom of the page.

Narrative

It's hard to get in there... You know? It takes some time.... Unless you're me. I'm SUPER good at that's shit! It's almost too easy.
Hym "You know how I know that that character is about me? The anime one? Not only did he express my exact position but they modeled him after the 'Bleach' character 'Kenpachi Zaraki'. And it's a reference to the comment I made about people giving me a blank expressionless stare as though 'they can see the effigy of my might looming behind me like Kenpachi Zaraki'. Isn't that wild!? I'm in that narrative y'all. Great job me!"

Iam "Wait... Does that make me the depressed kid?"

Hym "HA! Probably!"
