        As someone who did grow up with the series but doesn’t interact with it anymore, I’m gonna tell you that not everyone needs things to be good.

        It doesn’t have to be good for you to enjoy it. Fanfiction alone wouldn’t exist if it had to be good.

        I don’t understand this the same way I don’t understand burning books you already own. It’s performative but it doesn’t show any actual thought.

      Or, maybe, look at those books with critical eyes for the first time in your life, and realise how shit it is, and how much it is littered with awful terrible takes. And read another book maybe.

      how can people enjoy shit made by absolute hags?

      like, if you have standards, and you should, that ought to make said products gross, because it really fucking does.

      there’s so much more to this world than this one shitty, played out franchise, just move on in life people ffs

        I dont see a prpblem with it as long as you dont pay them. Some of gaiman’s stuff was genuinely good.

        The problem is making it your identity. Consuming uncritically. Worshipping. Not reading any other kinds of shit.

              I think as a kid i stopped reading after they made a pro slavery charicature.

              I’m confused by someone who knows it’s racist garbage, but still advocates consuming racist garbage. bone apple teat

                The problem isnt that the author is a fascist monster livint in a castle full of nazis and absolutely no glorious robot body with machine gun hands that rumor is totally unsubstantiated.

                Many talented authors were pieces of shit. Yukio mishima killed himself because the emperor of japan wasnt fascist enough fir him, but god damn could that deranged piece of shit write beautiful prose.

                The problem is that the books are trash and people have fucking insane relationships to them.

        Disliking a chefs dish based on their political stance or personal opinion no matter how wrong isnt going to solve anything about it, just a giant waste of energy

          Sure, but it’s reasonable to stop going to the restaurant because of the chef’s political stance or personal opinion.

          lol, keep telling yourself whatever lies you need to stay happy.

          but if you had a shred of decency in you, you’d know better already.
