Fantasy, science fiction and YA can be literature but often aren't.

Everyone's opinion should be respected - I don't know what the fuck the guy in the pic is talking about when it comes to "accepted", no-one believes that.

But yeah "plot" and "entertainment" are things you shouldn't read for. Absolutely.

we mostly already come across the the ideas of kant and past philosophers inadvertently in school and daily life already. honestly if someone is interested in 20th century and onward stuff and critical theory looking up wiki/sep articles is usually enough. prerequisite and chronological reading would be too arduous, time consuming, and also boring. the best sort of reading to do is scattered reading.
