Farm Frenzy posted:when people say YA in the context of people going psycho on twitter i think they generally mean this specific subculture or whatever of authors who got their start writing harry potter fanfic 20 years ago It's all just people who get seriously pissed off about some books having more depth than a literal interpretation of the text would provide. People who would get red faced mad if you said the Potterverse endorsed and reproduced slavery if your evidence was merely the books themselves saying so in all ways but directly Mental children, this isnt a new fight. Just some mad lib madlib writers lashing out over having been asked to think or consider a broader context

He was a piece of poo poo but lived in an era with mass media and a robust celebrity culture and still became a fragile agoraphobe who never left his house or gave an interview. He’d probably be more like Spoony.

Because he's right, there is absolutely a contingent of people who approach every story as though it's a moral lesson and what he's responding to is a real dumb take the thing hes responding too. i agree with him.

I think it’s hosed up that Johnathan Swift condoned selling babies to the rich to be eaten as a means of dealing with poverty. It’s even more hosed up that we had to read his horrible proposal in school. All democrats are hosed up sjws and I can’t believe they support baby-eating

It feels like hardline Israel nationalists are the only people on the planet whose defense of their nationalism has a direct effect on the politics of *other* nations. Except for like China in Taiwan I suppose. You don't see people getting thrown out of the French parliament for being anti-Australia
