bewilderment posted:Do a bunch of 'lit' authors put their weird fetishes in their books or is that much more a genre thing. all of them do, it's genre that's strange for demanding that an author's hosed up sexuality be excised or condemned. (psst, every author's sexuality is hosed up). Of course artistic/intellectual merit redeems things in a way that most genre hacks could never achieve.

Liquid Communism posted:You're right at home with the genre crowd in spirit, then! There is no one who abhors modern society more than those deeply steeped in escapism. no because modern society actively encourages consumptive unthinking escapism to remove desire for political action genre crowds have practically leapt off the cliff to be absorbed into late-capitalist modern society as fandom's social forms ( esp. the convention for example) and obsessions have been reformed into the dominant mode of culture it's the consolation that social rejection won't mean a rejection of their money/productive energies genre fans are alienated socially/interpersonally not systemically reading just genre poo poo is the rabbit starvation of intellectual activity, it sustains without nourishing
