>>13429708
Yes, you should be picturing an anime

>>13429708

>>13429708
I do, but only because it adds to the presentation and emotional output of the characters.

all of you have had your brains rotted by mass media. you should not be picturing anything at all when you read, you should simply be inside the flow of words.

I imagined a fat retard with anime dolls on his desk when I read this.

who the fuck are you to impose your ideal of reading onto anyone, you silly faggot

>>13429708
If it's fiction, I'd argue that you're doing it wrong if you don't picture the scenes in your head.

How did people imagine literature before cinema?

>>13430476
Life has always been a bit like cinema

>>13429708
>reading naturalist literature without imagining the beauty of nature and immersing yourself in the thought
This is how stupid you sound

>>13430476
Like a dream. First guy to ever dream with sound was a guy in 1925, after he had visited the theatres and watched one of the first synchronized mvoies. From the 60's onwards more and more people could read and see coloured pictures in their mind, just like looking in first-person-view. Nowadays most readers still visualize their inner movie with a oval-shaped frame, while a minority achieves a full 16:9.

>Not creating an artistic masterpiece of film, cinema, music, writing, Opera, poetry, philosophy, psychology, and all the arts and study's of man within your head at once of all forms and all dispositions both enhancing yourself, the literature and the unique artistic product that if you ever put to real paper you would surely become famous and held as one of the greats

Get on my level, pic related.

Mental cripple.

>being egalitarian in thought and having the innate desire to make people behave like each other.

Reading literature is proven to give people the ability to empathise with others due to the act of mentally constructing a scene, building a sense of characters' perspectives and inner states. Only NPCs read literature as just words with no world building taking place

>>13429841

if you're not capable of visualizing what you read, you are reading less intelligently than people who can

>>13430122

Thanks for the laugh

>only understanding in partiality for his unwillingness to know of the importance of egalitarianism on collective levels without negating the individual

>>13429708
are you seriously dumping on people that can visualize what they're reading? You hyper fucking autist, suck salt.

>>13429841
there's something wrong with your brain. Your iq is so low you can't perform a basic function of thinking.

>you should simply be inside the flow of words
That's not how a healthy human being works, there's actually some kind of defect or fault in your brain somewhere.
