If a piece of media doesn't cleanly and simply state by the end "communism is the only path forward, we have nothing to lose but our chains, go read 'state and revolution next'" it is actually a bad and immoral piece of media with no redeeming qualities.
^ If you assume most people on this site are only 0-3 steps removed from this type of media analysis, the media analysis you'll see on this site will make a lot more sense.
The users here are very politically literate. They're not very artistically literate, on average. Sorry y'all, I've been trying to discuss art here for like 2.5 years, someone's gotta say it eventually.
Call me crazy, but I think the anchor commenter was using a literary device known as a "hyperbole" to point out how low the floor is when it comes to the "average story" (IE harry potter)
You're right, you've thoroughly countered what was a rigorous literary critique and not just a throwaway comment about how the "gross stuff" in a book isn't what makes it bad, but the actual bad writing.
You're right, I'm sure they literally meant they want child sex scenes in every piece of media. There's actually thousands of secret pedophiles hiding all over the world and we just have to find them and reveal them and then the world will be A Good Place. My mind is definitely not wracked by decades of Espstein-esque conspiracy theories.
They were right, I was being hyperbolistic but for a joke rather than to support my point. But they were also right about my point which is books can be dark and dirty and immoral and that can be very compelling and is a big part of the joy of reading for me

Dude fuck you used the word treat. I can't come back from that I'm so owned.
Do you think I'm low-brow for wanting to gulag this kind of media?
