the tone of the article, or at least of the tweet trying to get people to read the article, has a definite undercurrent of "author has nothing to talk about on dates or at parties and has decided this is everyone else's fault"

that article is just this comedy bang bang spinoff podcast: https://twitter.com/ScottAukerman/status/1509190730236919808?s=20&t=yC9ukIawhDU0dFYDGRqJ5w which is really funny by the way. every episode starts with a rambling, pretentious monologue that goes no where.

Casey Finnigan posted:there's plenty of romantic fanfiction about tony stark and captain american falling in love (good for girls) I think the classic feminist explanation for these kinds of phenomena is that masculine fantasies are addressed sufficiently in popular culture while feminine ones are kept out via institutional barriers, so individual women are forced to project their fantasies onto their favored media themselves if they want to see them but IMO it only really holds up in the 2020s if you include literal pornography in your analysis

drat horror queefs posted:At least 90% of "modern lit" novels are loving dogshit and in particular the award winning ones are usually the most insufferable garbage among them (how are Jonathan Franzen or Jennifer Egan still getting work??). Poetry as we know it has a strong connection to lyricism and music so I don't think it's unfair to say it evolved into ballads and songs and such, but I do agree with you that I lament the loss of it as an art form in western culture

Men did not stop reading literary fiction, nor did they abandon the avant-garde of writing: They realized that they had said all that they could say within the stifling constraints of the old medium of books, and moved on to the real avant-garde of writing; video games.

Elden Ring lore would probably be at least competitive with a lot of genre fiction, if the game bothered telling you any of it First major boss in the game was some guy named Margit, I still have no idea what his deal was, who he was, or why he particularly wanted me dead

video game writing is by and large not very good. a couple games are standouts but it just has not historically been super common that companies that are capable of putting together video games are also able to put together high quality stories probably as indie games continue to blow up and it gets even easier to make them + their audiences grow even larger we'll see some improvement. Like how disco elysium was essentially a text adventure that they gussied up in Unity

margit the fell omen is morgott. morgott is the king of leyendell. He's an Omen. Omens are creatures that are born with horns and are considered abominations. Morgott is able to be the king of leyendell because he hides the fact that he is an Omen. When he needs to act in the open, he calls himself Margit and pretends that he's not the king of leyendell this is not told to you in game at any point

Utter dogshit, and I love literary fiction, but also, you're complaining about your boyfriend reading Le Guin and Mieville. Not Asimov and GRRM, no, Le Guin and Mieville. Get over yourself. But also, love the part that wanders into claiming literature has always been the field of the feminine after going on about how men had too much of a voice in the field for awhile, well, which is it, men dominate this industry or women did, make up your mind. I love the thesis is basically, "It's good that men write less than women now, but also, men should read our novels more, all consumption, no competitive production." Complaining from an ivory tower and a half. Probably Magic has issued a correction as of 18:49 on May 18, 2022 |
