Anyway do these kinds of things make anyone else a little resentful? They're glamorizing books that specifically do not challenge you in any way, providing a static experience void of learning, reflection, cultural enlightment or even just learning about a complex, well-designed character, that those kinds of people do exist and receiving some insight into them in an intimate way. These girls just like static texts, I feel like I could just type "DIX DIX DIX DIX" for 870 pages and be a best seller with a movie deal if I slapped a YA cover on it

I don't know from SRS, what is this

>>4664170
it is OK to be entertained. not everything has to be something that provides us with a harrowing experience of the fundamental nature of human existence, or whatever. it is okay just to be entertained or be reassured or be comforted.

now it's true that you should have the kind of dynamic experiences that you're talking about, but the one is not incompatible with the other. and i think the one really important factor you're missing here is that a lot of these people are teenagers, and ipso facto dumb. we shouldn't be surprised that they're reading dumb things and having dumb opinions! they are teenagers. we did the same thing. reading dumb books is a symptom, not a cause.

No clue what SRS is, but really, just leave her alone. There's nothing to discuss here. It's a young girl who like YA books and singing about them. Should we make fun of her for being naive and earnest? I don't think so. There are worse evils out there to attack than these young girls who like reading, such as Zizek and Rand Paul and countless others.

Your energy is better spent in the daily threads about comics, video games, and meta-author shitposting. I really don't understand why someone would come to 4chan and write over a paragraph whining about a humorous, topical video. It honestly eludes me. You guys do know you're on 4chan, right?

it's got that teen girl + fantasy setting stigma
but season 6+ had really mature treatment of death and depression, i was startled at how serious it got in contrast to how campy it can be at times
i also loved joss whedon's penchant for experimenting, with the ep with no dialogue, musical ep, episode in the pov of a fanboy, etc.
it was a great ride mostly for the creativity and characters, but god damn i couldn't stand buffy herself nor the actress

You know,I honestly believe that one of the main reasons why there are so many people out there who aren't willing to seriously consider criticism is the social networking mentality they develop in their time on the internet.

So what if this girl is popular?
So what if what she is doing is non-controversial and innocent?
That doesn't change that she is ignorant, and that she is spreading her ignorance by sharing her silly views with all the people she has managed to reach. It's not like she's 'just as right as everyone else in her own way'. There are reasons why the books she likes are considered bad, and she doesn't like them in spite of those flaws, but because she doesn't recognize them. That's like smoking cigarettes because you don't know they aren't healthy, and calling one brand your favorite because you have never smoked anything else in your life. It completely invalidates your opinion.
