Most of /lit/ is caught up in appearance, they want to be 'literary' and that's all there's to it.

Doesn't matter, reading challenging philosophy demands a kind of discipline often foreign to video game players (not that there can't be dicipline to playing video game, but it's a very different kind). So my guess is that very few will actually get to read Kierkergaard and he'll just be another namedropped unread author like he's always veen in /lit/

yea. he's relatable. he really reflects the generation that came up in the 90ies/2000s interest wise and in his mannerisms. brought up similarly and went through similar changes. even his channel changed tone in recent years mirroring the changes a lot of people went through, and it at least appeared organic, not dishonest or forced, more like a conclusion/change he made in his life that mirrors your own and happened for the same environmental reasons. really it boils down to a lot of people are lonely and bad at using their time wisely so they end up on youtube watching vlogs, and pewdiepie is often mediocre, sometimes funny, but at least he appears consistently honest and is a public figure i can relate to even in more specific areas (and he sticks it to the MSM which is always a fucking treat to watch)

I started reading young, and admittedly have never watched a pewdiepie video. I will say that I have put almost as many hours into video games as I have into literature over the course of my life, and can vouch for the storytelling mechanism. It is an unacceptable medium for the communication of ideas, particularly "solved" philosophical taxonomies such as Hegel, Kant, Kierkegaard, Aristotle, Plato.

The fluidity of the place space in video games is such that the player/reader cannot be lead to a thought, merely a pattern of behavior or a question. These questions may be profound, such as God of War's recent core "What is the nature of the relationship between parent and child on the axis of allowed freedom? Are the sins of the "father" inherited, and if not, is a son's necessary doom also to be a parent's burden?" This dichotomy between Kratos and Atrius (Loki) is echoed in the Asgardians.

But this question can only be posed. The frankly unethical and often ridiculous exploits of the character over the course of the story render any actual realized truth to be equally gaudy. I don't take the goodness of a Father to his Son very seriously when that message is supposed to be the solution of my putting an axe through skulls for the past 30 hours. The Halo series explored these questions rather well, and included the violence as a measure by which the question could be understood. "What is the nature of heroism?" "Does indoctrination justify action?" Some of the best writing I've found on the spectrum of human like A.I. to humanity wasn't found in Dick or Gibson, but in Cortana. Shivering, alone in the dark are a rotting hulk blasted in half, drifting through space. Quietly going insane.Results scene here.

I would say that there is no inherent threat in self described gamers being semi-literate, likely less threat than film buffs. I trust Miyazaki, producer of the Dark Souls series with writing more than I do George R.R. Martin. Martin's fantasy island includes numerous cut and paste Lovecraftian overtures too painful to touch. The Elder Scrolls series, for it's popularity, does a deep consideration of A series vs. B series time, and has a number of philosophical musings (chaos carving change from the oneness) similar to Avicenna.

The kids are alright.

Care to elaborate on that? I was lured into a discord chat room once and I had many good conversations there with several people over the course of a few months. One day pewdypie came up and I testified to my complete dictate for this man. Every one else there was taken aback for they loved him, one claimed he to be the avatar of Kalki. It was then that I realized that these people were young, kids, really, and that I, an old man, did not belong on discord or anywhere else on this cold bitch of an earth. I left that internet chatroom a few days later, silently, and never spoke to any of those good people ever again.
