#reading comprehension check: I'm not defending booktok books (I have not read any) I'm simply critiquing the way a lot of people discuss art

I care about my OCs and their universe(s) so much but I can't write cause I feel so Cringe :-( can I be vulnerable and sensitive for a moment? I think seeing so many people online shitting on low quality writing ("booktok" "tumblr poetry" etc) has fucked me up a bit. the idea that writing has to reach a certain level of objective quality before it deserves to exist at all is such a damaging one imo. like idk maybe my writing is better than booktok books. but in all likelyhood it's worse, because I'm out of practice and an amatuer to begin with. and I don't think it should matter either way. does that make sense?
