this is actually great, a thread where you can take your dumps instead of stinking up the SFF thread(s)
looking forward to skimming through more of your reviews

Making prominent declarations about how indifferent you are does not actually make you look indifferent, Barbe Rouge.

That would be true if I made any such declarations (or even implied such a thing).

I am sorry you have the emotional maturity of a toddler and are unable to simultaneously enjoy something and understand that the thing might still be meaningfully critiqued

I have no problem with that, it's not the game it's the player. BotL's whole manner just irritates me (even when he's making GBS threads on Rothfuss' magnum opus which I very much dislike) and that's that. Though strangely the Hobb review doesn't (and her I do like) so I will keep reading.

What do you call the opposite of power fantasies? One where it's still just empty gratification for the reader only expressed through persecution and martyrdom rather than glorification? When I was a lovely teen I used to love that sort of poo poo and Hobbs peddles them constantly.
