[–] -4 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Bit of a tough crowd for this when posting via a medium people are only seeing on screens. There's a clear defensive tone echoing in these comments.

    I love reading and think this post is stupid. Nothing defensive about it. Film can be just as deep and engaging as a great book and a book can be just as shit as a bad film.

    The characters here resemble children. Reading stimulates the imagination in a way video cannot. It's a meme not a statement of absolute truth. In my country at least children are saturated with screens and reading is undervalued. It's not a criticism of art forms, it's a criticism of modernity, child-rearing, and content. To your statement there is higher volume of shit video content than shit literature.

    I can think of plenty of shows and movies I watched as a child that stimulated my imagination possibly more than any book did.

    To your statement there is higher volume of shit video content than shit literature.

    Spend some time on a fanfiction site and get back to me on that.
