It is because of its association to this website and people not good at looking into details. Also due to the creator's input of the work. People come off that he didn't know what he was doing and just made up stuff on the fly. Although they don't understand the context of the moment he created it. He had an occultic epiphany and went hard with Freudian and Jungian concepts.

What's your all-time favorite coming of age story?
