More specifically, that these are somehow lauded as being good lore/storytelling, when they are garbage narratives. But then I remember that as a kid in a school of a thousand, probably less than a hundread of us actually had the hobby of reading books in the school library, and I remember that the common person, much less teens and young adults, don’t actually read for fun and its just the same as it ever was. There’s just more content for mouthbreathers these days.

Why the need for hate though? I also don’t like some franchises, but I’ll just let people who enjoy them continue enjoying them and instead focus on the things I personally like. I also don’t think that people who like different things are somehow stupider than me. FWIW I read a ton of books and like From Software’s storytelling, so I don’t think that correlation holds up.
Congrats bro, you can enjoy garbage along with better things. Good for you.
It is good to enjoy things, much more fun than hate. What are some media franchises you like?
Shh, now, we’re not here to talk about good things. This is off my chest, for ranting. You don’t have to agree with my rant, I really don’t give a damn. But I’ll use this space for what it’s for.
