Shields says genre works as a form of control. I feel like true crime stories is a good example because they tend to show us the "truth" but deep down it's really there own version of how they think the story was. #hwa3 #genreescape
I guess that genre would be comedy. I feel like there's too much forced comedic moments in comedy movies and since comedy is subjective it doesn't really make any sense #hwa3 #genreescape
#hwa3 #genreescape a genre that I would escape is probably the romance genre. I just feel like in this day and age it’s so played out, every new movie that comes out is toxic and doesn’t portray love and romance really well.
#hwa3 #genreescape I'd like to jailbreak into horror. I think horror is really exciting because of all the jumpscares and sudden turns which break up the "control" that genre comes with.
#hwa3 #genreescape For me though, I’d jailbreak science fiction. It doesn’t always have to be dystopian or robots taking over. It could be softer, more emotional, more human. Nowadays almost everything is being turned to machinery so that also explains why this is happening.
#hwa3 #genreescape a genre I'd want to escape would be the romance genre, not because I don't like it, but because it has so many arbitrary rules and ideas of what makes something a "romance" that it feels stale sometimes. it relates to what Shields says about genre doing the harm
The sci-fi genre, specifically time travelling tropes. The idea of the MC going back in time to fix their mistakes creates hero with no depth. If I cant see a character grow throughout a story I have no emotional attachment to the plot. Therefore it does not evoke a r/Real feeling #hwa3 #genreescape
I'm ready to jailbreak short form content on any social media platform. We're so used to watching a reel/short for a few seconds, and assuming that information is true then moving onto the next. We don't challenge or verify unless it's major information, and that blinds us. #hwa3 #genreescape
One genre that I feel should be jailbroken is political news. I feel like everything is so opinionized that no one is a good narrator. Like, I feel like no one is really sharing what is happening without sharing their own opinion. #hwa3 #genreescape
#hwa3 #genreescape science writing. I am so of the believe that it should be just as emotional and relatable as other writing because it’s RELEVANT and we are doing a disservice to the collective knowledge base by making it so inaccessible and goddamn boring. (Are we allowed to curse on here?)
#hwa3 #genreescape I would say I would want to jailbreak from horror movies because they all tend to go down a similar storyline, and because of this, we may have a hard time classifying horror movies as that specific genre.
#hwa3 #genreescape "Facebook moms" are stereotyped for sharing outrageous miracle health tips or exaggerating news and building a whole new worldview from them. Our version is just faster
#hwa3 #genreescape I am ready to jailbreak instagram reels/ 30 second clips, because they have conditioned have a very limited attention span. We are basically becoming a new version of "Facebook moms" because the platform trains us to treat these content as reliable.
i guess a genre i wanna jailbreak would be the fiction genre as a whole. referring to the video, there is a very thin line between nonfiction and fiction and i feel like if u play around enough with the genre u could break the boundaries of fiction into something more scifi like #hwa3 #genreescape
Definitely fantasy, science fiction, and horror. All of these stories have archetypes and stereotypes but when doing something unconventional it can work and gives a genre a fresh identity. #hwa3 #genreescape
I'd be ready to jailbreak genres that categorize the types of movies that I watch, like romance, historical fiction, action, etc. As Sheilds says, these genres function to restrict the scope of what stories storytellers can tell. It may provide more cohesion, but idc about that. #hwa3 #genreescape
A genre I’m ready to jailbreak is sci-fi. I have always enjoyed sci fi movies but as technology and ai has developed I fear we have already begun to jailbreak this. You said genre is a form of control and I’m wondering if we are ever really in control. #hwa3 #genreescape
#hwa3 #genreescape I'd probably want to escape the (literary) genre of academic writings if I'm interpreting this question correctly. A lot of these must adhere to sticking to facts, statistics, and advanced terminology. In part 2, there was the mention of telling stories to relate the past to-
If genre is a prison, I’m breaking out is non‑fiction, the kind where journalists stretch a lukewarm fact into a five‑alarm headline just to feed the clicks. I’m done being held hostage by “objectivity” that’s really just drama in business‑casual. I’m slipping past the guards #genreescape #hwa3

Shields says genre works as a form of control. Documentaries are a good example because they claim to show the truth, but editing and structure still shape how we really understand the story.
#hwa3 #genreescape One genre im ready to jailbreak is podcasts because if you are listening to just the audio what makes it different than a song. Is it the drums? well some songs don't have drums. Same with length some songs are hours long. Just like nonfiction and fiction where is the line?
im ready to jailbreak the science fiction genre! it's my favorite, but its starting to becomg a reality for us all, slowly but surely. fiction is tied to being invented and these inventions are coming to life. more so referring to the hunger games #hwa3 #genreescape
One genre I'm ready to jailbreak is comedy. In part 2 we learned genres don't organize art they organize expectations. I think there are so many expectations for comedy and what's considered funny but the most important things is finding what makes you laugh. #hwa3 #genreescape
#hwa3 #genreescape I am ready to escape all of the made-up stories... everything that is designed to be overexaggerated, and anything that has open-ended interpretations; Genre sort of controls the narrative in a way that I don't like
I'll jailbreak short content (reels, tiktok) because we are locked up by all the ideas that society wants us to see, and it's not reality.
#hwa3 #genreescape
I think we should jailbreak horror since horror stories can be
emotionally true but factually messy. For example, the movie Sinister was based on a nightmare one of the writers had. Therefore, that movie is neither entirely true nor entirely false. #hwa3 #genreescape
i would jailbreak memoir by mixing in imagined or exaggerated moments to better express emotional truth, which you discussed in Part Two. #hwa3 #genreescape
i'm ready to jailbreak horror movies. Horror movies annoy me because I feel like they are all the same. Just as Shields mentions that genre is a control, using the horror genre makes you get jump scared and creates suspense. It's all the same. #hwa3 #genreescape
horror! horror movies are my favorite genre, and have become even more interesting ever since they’ve expanded into psychological horror. anything can be scary if you make it scary. there’s a lot of constraints on what is deemed scary/horror. #hwa3 #genreescape
If genre is a minimum security prison, one genre I'm ready to jailbreak is non-fiction, especially with regard to journalist's proclivity to sensationalize content for profit. #hwa3 #genreescape
