  • This is an unpopular opinion, but yeah. I wouldn’t go so far as microaggression, but whenever someone says “I don’t really care for politics” it makes me think of all the anti-trans bills and how apparently they just don’t give a damn that that’s happening, or don’t even care enough to learn that that’s happening. Do you care about trans people being oppressed? Congratulations, you care about politics. That’s just kinda how it works, and it sucks.








  • What’s going to be remembered are the things that are truly worthwhile. I for one have no problem looking stupid in front of the other generations if it means there’s more creativity and knowledge being spread around.

    I believe your view on this matter is due largely in part to the fact that so much content nowadays is easily accessible and quality control doesn’t happen behind closed doors nearly as much anymore. You are seeing with your own eyes a bunch of dumb shit that would usually get rejected by publishers instead of the general public. But if some are as bad as you say they are, then they’ll get rejected all the same. You really think someone in 50 years will be reading some trashy hunger games ripoff? No, they’ll be reading what’s actually worthwhile. With freedom comes choice, and with choice comes confusion and the option to choose wrong. I still prefer freedom. If you want to protect the sanctity of writing or something like that, support authors who you think do good work, don’t complain about the stupid ones.
