Good god I thought we already got the monthly debate over with. Pick a different topic. Go off on your opinions about character motivations or setting or something, I’m so sick of this circular argument

Didn’t say they weren’t. But reading the back of a cereal box makes you a reader too. Doesn’t mean it has intellectual value.

You're right, reading for fun is totally fine, I'll track back the intellectual comment. My point is purely about the parallel, both groups are chasing the exact same low-effort gratification loop. Just an observation, people can do what they want 🤷‍♂️

I was unfamiliar with the previous discourse in the community lol I just read through one of the threads, I see now why you had that sentiment originally 😭 I'm not trying to do the weird gender war thing. My point was just that hyper-fixating on one niche, especially the low effort recycled smut tropes and self-help bs, is inherently anti-intellectual. But people have the right to just read for fun and not care about that. Just making an observation.

Lmao sorry babe I don’t mean your argument is circular itself I mean that the arguing just goes in a circle. Someone brings is smut, someone replies that it’s their choice, someone compares it to porn, someone replies that it’s fiction, etc etc. I don’t mean circular like the fallacy, just circular as in it happens over and over and over
