So /lit/, why are plebs always complaining about books where they don't like the main character, or they can't relate to them? or the characters do things that they don't like?

Why must all stories conform to their own personality?

Dune is bad because Paul isn't relateable as a main character

A-fucking-men.

Anyway, I tend to hate books about groups of people who are repellent and ordinary as mud.

That said:

Exceptional and repellent, fine.
Ordinary and awesome, fine.
Repellent and unspeakable, fine.
Ordinary and unremarkable, fine

Because people read for different reasons, at different levels of depth and complexity. Those "plebs" like to see themselves in the book and we can only speculate why. I guess maybe because they can walk with the character more easily and if the author has born a good character, or is able to control the character, then the pleb reader comes along and more easily experiences the adventure.
tl;dr because some people can't separate themselves from themselves maybe? so they need themselves to be in a book

I think you should know that you've crossed over to the dark side. It's obvious to us and those who used to be your friends that something is bothering you. Deep down inside.
I don't mean to contribute to your bitterness by singling you out like this, but you've brought it upon yourself.

Damn son, the english language has fucktons of insulting words that have been used for ages.
Why you getting uppity about about it all of a sudden? You think because you saw the birth of the popularity of this one word that you're somehow in a position to judge whether or not it's being used too much?

Get a grip.
