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.
A game is not a book, even if it might have dialogue. It is much closer to an impressionistic painting or a kinetic sculpture.

This has strong “old man yelling at clouds” energy.
We could probably go back to 400 BCE and find someone saying expressing this same sentiment about the Epic of Gilgamesh.
Let the young folks have their fiction. Its not hurting you, and to them its all new as they’re seeing these type of stories for the first time in their lives. In the years head they may come to the same conclusion that you are today, but let them grow up first and experience the world before you go shitting all over their media.
GTFO my lawn and take your talk with you.
There’s a whole lot of media I dislike, too. I just ignore it. Why do you let this make you angry?
Because these are generally posted about more frequently and memed on or just randomly brought up within reddit space. When it’s placed right in front of your face, it’s significantly harder to ignore.
That will never change as long as you live around other people. It’s up to you to be angry about it, or find healthier ways to cope.
I say this as someone who felt just like you when I was younger.
Nah, man, I just wanna hate right now.
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.
