I’ve seen so much debate about third person vs first person these days and I don’t get it. I have no preference for either. People get so picky about it and which one is more “intellectual.” But tbh I don’t give a shit which pov it’s in, I’ll read any

I don’t think it’s about being “intellectual” it’s about comprehension and critical thinking. Preference is fine but not being able to read third person and understand it is super concerning.

I could read an entire book and if you asked me if it was written in first or third person I wouldn’t be able to tell you bc that’s NOT what I’m paying attention to

It’s sad that I pay more attention to the plot and themes than if the author chose to say “I did this” or “Simon did this” 💀 yeah okay hun

Chill out bro, try reading out loud, then there’s no difference between first or third person

Why tf are you telling me that. I just said idc if a book is in first or third POV bc I don’t even pay attention. So.. sounds like I’m saying the exact same thing as you. There’s very little difference between the two when it comes down to it.
