I actually really needed this pep talk, so thank you. Yes, my constant monologues about how Literature is in a dark phase right now - due to lots of factors but especially lazyness - may be annoying, but no more annoying than assholes who just keep repeating "people can enjoy whatever they want"; like yes, yes Jessica, I know, it's not about that. It's about how works that only feed you tropes you already like without ever doing more than the bare minimum in terms of characterization and narrative have become the norm for a demographic that DESPERATELY needs AND deserves actual literacy skills.

lets give it up for pretentious bitches i love snobs who try to keep intellectualism alive gooooooo assholes
