"Fanfic isn't REAL literature, a lot of fanfic is bad quality, writing fanfic makes you a bad writer and reading it makes you a bad reader" okay. Regardless of if ANY of that is true: are people having fun reading it? Are they having fun writing it? Not all art is trying to change the world and not all art needs to.

#Cipher talk #Trashy low brow/low quality art is always going to exist and a lot of people are going to enjoy it #Not all fanfic is good but like... a lot real 'published literature' is dogshit too #As everyone complaining about booktok and the current state of YA should be well aware #Not everyone is Tolstoy and not everyone is constantly reading Tolstoy #Even people who LOVE Tolstoy read stuff that isn't that kind of literature or quality #Do you yell at teenagers who make shitty art with bad proportions and teenagers that like looking at it too?#Do you walk up to the knitting circle and destroy Stacy because she can't keep tension throughout the scarf she's making?#Making bad art generally speaking does not hurt people #And there are actual like. Good fic writers. Good fic writers that wrote good original work too. Is this everyone? No.#But fanfic has no barrier to entry so of course plenty of it is bad or middling #It's a similar thing to audio drama tbh but I won't get into that #Like. Hhhg. Art is a complicated subject but I do not see the point in whinging about people that like a niche form of writing
