The Saddest Rhino posted:i saw someone post the ending and this horrific vr universe (that still makes everyone's lives worse) is empathetically reasoned to be A Good Thing and allowed to continue thriving while the characters all went to get married and have kids in the EARL That he gets any praise at all is gross. The whole reveal in RP1 was Art3mis had a 'reuban-esque' figure in VR and was so amazing for daring to not be a waif thin girl but was hiding some dark secret about her appearance and when they finally meet at the end her shocking disfigurement that she was sure makes people repulsed by her was that she was a thin, pretty white girl with a birthmark on her face. Huffing his own farts isn't enough Cline has a special machine in his house he hooks up to his butt so he can vape his own farts. Holy poo poo, I just realized RP1 and 2 are just Twilight for white male nerds.

chitoryu12 posted:Not just that, the book specifies that OASIS will alert the authorities based on local laws. So have loving fun if you're in Saudi Arabia or something because the system you use to connect to the world will automatically flag anything that deems you a degenerate. man white tech nerds just loving love jerking off to a future where there's literally no protections for anyone outside a conservative default social norm.

It's a lot of people arguing past each other missing the point that YA is just another example of the 10% rule only instead of insane people writing in fanzines and sending letters to Fantasy Publication Monthly they vomit their thoughts directly into the world the moment they are formed expected to be applauded for their wit and wokeness. The only difference between YA now and scifi/fantasy in the 50s-80s is how communication has allowed for it all to happen in real time. I'm sure tons of popular stuff each decade fades fast from memory as time passes. For the vast majority of these YA authors in 10 years they're going to be completely unknown and a small handful will be the ones frequently referred as hidden gems or literature. pentyne has a new favorite as of 02:34 on Jan 18, 2021 |

Arguing about fanfiction is like some 21st century nerds/geek debate. It's pretty obvious there's tons of bad non-fanfiction getting published every day but suddenly someone writes a story using a popular IP and people stumble over themselves to poo poo all over for it not being "original" and therefore bad. Fanfic is just a convenient pejorative people want to use to make themselves feel superior that their self-published vampire mystery is true art while insisting every Twilight fanfic is automatically hot garbage (it might be, but that's not a rational excuse).
