No. In fact, why would they need to read books at all now? They watched the video and know the memes. It'll be like another tier of hyper reality where you'll have whole forums dedicated to making fan content for a book that none of the fans have even read.

Zoomer boys have grown up with modern media 100% geared toward telling them women and minorities are smarter and nobler and stronger than them. On some DNA level even the most onions can't reconcile this with "but then how did we subjugate all y'all?". When exposed to older (i.e. pre-2010) media that portrays reality more accurately, it clicks for many of them. Some are too deeply brainwashed.

Primary fans play the video game, so in relation to cormac mccarthy primary fans would live in the southern western appalachia and trap and run whiskey.
Secondary fans consume products that exegese the primary experience. Secondary fans would read Colin McCarthy.
Tertiary fans consume products that exegese the secondary experience. Tertiary fans would post about Cormac McCarthy on an imageboard.

Shut your mouth, you Reddit faggot. Here's something you're projecting ass can't understand, non-faggot White people like living in societies made up of people of equal or greater worth than themselves, they like being able to learn from others and to hold great conversation, they don't want to look down on others. But a society full of niggers can only ever be looked down on by even the most mediocre of Whites.
