i know this has been said plenty of times before but i love when people are like “film snobs will seriously make fun of you because you’d rather watch Captain America than, i dunno, *proceeds to make up a movie that sounds fucking awesome and reveals that they just completely lack curiosity about the world around them*”

lowkey irritated by people who say 'death of the author' to mean 'separate art from the artist' in the 'you can enjoy the author's creativity but not their harmful ideas and/or behavior' sense. no matter if you can or can't, barthes' essay wasn't about that, it was about 'an author's biography isn't the powerful explanatory instance that guides the meaningful interpretation' and 'recreating the sole message intended by the author in their text is both impossible and pointless'.

there is certainly a genre of post here where op makes a vast allegory about some oppression/discrimination/bigotry etc and people belonging to various oppressed groups start relating to it, because the original metaphor was open to interpretation since lots of discriminative frameworks operate similarly, at least on a surface level. and then op claims that their original post was about one single specific discrimination and cusses out all the other people for derailing.

The thing is I am very fascinated by gender and sexuality and fetishes and the intersection of all of these things but I can never talk about this IRL even in an academic way without everyone thinking I'm The horrible sex pervert

also i'm going to need to put a moratorium on bringing up the Satanic Panic in horror until somebody has something more interesting to say about it than "what if it was True? 😨"

this is not a drag on fanfiction but if you find yourself consistently saying “wow fic is better than most published stuff!! and it’s free!!” it might be a sign that your brain is ready for and craving more complicated literature than the books you are used to gravitating towards

I’ve read fanfics that are better than some published novels. I’ve read published novels that are better than some fanfics. I’ve read books that do some things I like better and some things I like worse, and ditto with fanfics. This post is blatantly not saying “stop reading fanfic” or “fanfic is bad,” it’s saying “there is a much bigger world of literature out there than the books you are comparing your fanfics to and you will probably enjoy those more complicated novels better than the novels you are currently reading.”
