Kit Walker posted:Worm is more of a character study of extremely broken people and its biggest theme if anything is “doing the wrong thing for the right reasons” pushed to the limit. Also the protagonist’s biggest frustration is the inability of any group of meaningful size to work together, because of a certain core part of the setting, which gets resolved in a fantastically grotesque way in the ending. Worm is full of politics it’s just dozens and hundreds of little points throughout a very long narrative rather than a few big overarching themes That's a fair analysis, yeah.

PetraCore posted:Also while it's a fantastic character study of messed up people trying to navigate complicated clusterfucks with other messed up people, the author is a lot better at looking at individual characters and trying to figure out what makes them tick then he is at trying to make a large, overarching political point. He's not like terrible or anything he's just bad at that. On the other hand Twig is about how hosed up the UK would be if it had access to revolutionary bioengineering knowledge and how the nobility would be even bigger hosed up monsters than they are now and the only moral option is to kill as many of them as possible

If there’s one common and vaguely funny thread for idiot fascists, it’s not enough to have their convictions, being allowed to have those convictions is of the utmost importance to them. They don’t just want to be assholes, they need permission to be assholes above all else. Otherwise society blah blah blah

idk, comparing sensitivity training to a gulag or a reeducation camp seems pretty disrespectful to the people who went through the latter. Like, sitting in a climate-controlled room while a sensibly-shod facilitator tells you how not to be racist for a few hours may be unpleasant for a conservative, but it is not nearly as bad as breaking rocks in Siberia for ten years. If you have to compare sensitivity training to a Bad Communism Thing, struggle sessions seem much more apt. Then again, maybe that's too much communist history to expect these guys to know.

The only reason I can see Jorp caring about his license is because he sees it as a badge of intellectual achievement. But yeah, seconding the desire to sit in on his mandatory social media training.

Also Empires are fueled off of dead children. Should I bother trying to read Pact and Twig if I found Worm to be middling on average? Some good stuff absolutely bogged down by those parts you described so succinctly.

Yeah I’m about 3/4s through Twig right now and he’s gotten a lot better at show don’t tell so far as I can see DarkDobe posted:Should I bother trying to read Pact and Twig if I found Worm to be middling on average? Some good stuff absolutely bogged down by those parts you described so succinctly. Pact is cool but kind of underwhelming and Wildbow himself feels it wasn't really up to his standards. I'm reading Twig right now and I think it's one of his best works, but people either love it or aren't too into it it. Read a couple chapters and you'll know for yourself. I hear Pale is considered his best work but it's also twice as long as his next longest work so it's a massive investment Kit Walker has a new favorite as of 20:55 on Jan 17, 2024 |
