It may seem that way, and it is actually true for many of them, but even those are good example of almost Pygmalionism.
Waifuism is a very interesting social and psychological phenomenon.
Fapping to 2D is transcendant.

Why do people have to assume that every philosophy is a justification of oneself's actions?
I'm just saying it's an interesting phenomenon.
You should try reading this, I've been meaning to post it in the Lacan thread.

High literature is literature written about nuanced, heroic, usually noble, characters in an ornate style, usually poetry, dealing with problems of great importance.
Macbeth, for instance, is a noble, and a war-hero, who struggles extensively with regal ambitions and fate, with various proddings from his wife, and ultimately succumbs to it, becoming a guilt-troubled villan. Macbeth is written in blank verse, with extended and intricate use of metaphor, simile, and other rhetorical and literary devices.

Low literature is about un-heroic people, usually the middle or lower class, dealing with small problems, and its aims are usually to amuse, or to titillate. For example, Aninas Nin's Delta of Venus is a series of pornographic stories about one or two dimensional thespians, womanizers, models, commoners, etc, who engage in sundry, exotic sexual acts. Her stories are written a mostly reportorial manner.

What one thinks the difference is.
What high and what low literature is is undefined.
Often the meaning for it is built upon >>5322988 Some just follow what others say what is what, though.
