Twitter users are defending their right to assume Picasso was a renaissance artist. Tiktok users think watching any film made outside the US makes you a snob. “Replace classic lit with YA and fan fiction” discourse is flourishing. I think we’re just living in anti intellectual times.

ive gotten so much mileage out of this tweet. every time i see something on the internet that makes me mad i just think to myself "people in real life: hey man how's it going" and i keep it pushing

it’s been said 1mil times but this site’s obsession with treating fanfic as revolutionary praxis and as literature of its own merit is going to drive me neurodivergent. i enjoy writing fanfic myself, which is partly why this sentiment is so frustrating, bc like…I’m lurking in those damn tags, I am the author that people are choosing over real literature—and I know damn well we are not producing works of art.

yelling, “read real books!!!” obviously isn’t effective and just makes people defensive, but at some point…you’ve got to pick up a classic. you’ve got to pick up something from the english canon, even the loosest of canons, and you have to read a real book and struggle with real concepts and grow in real ways. there’s only so much a fanfic centered around a yaoi ship can do for you. it’s inherently derivative, inherently limited, inherently dependent on its source. like…read real books for the betterment of yourself. and so you’re less annoying on tumblr. thankies.

insane how mgs2 was a game released RIGHT after 9/11 that looks straight at the camera and says "The United States of America has always been so evil at its core that over the centuries its collective consciousness has manifested into a malicious entity that wants to destroy all independent thought" and the thing people got mad about was that you had to play as the twink instead of the hunk

to be perfectly honest. i don't care if it is cheesy or cliched or idealistic. i like stories where the core of it is about kindness, the warmth we can offer others and the gentleness we receive in return. maybe the moral of the story IS love triumphs. it better fucking be
