      Cline does essentially say at one point that nostalgia removed you from real world experiences and action, though I wish he drew a stronger

      line between *that* idea, and the fact that this all started because of 1980s style corporatism/dehumanization to begin with.

      My argument goes against in that, in that the admonishing feels half-hearted. It loves the nostalgia more than it makes the counter-argument. Which is the effect of knowing better but delivering the spoonful of sugar on the sly.

      Mileage varies depending on how much you like that sugar. I really don't, largely because of the toxicity involved.

      I don’t think your wrong, though the book (imho) makes a strong-ish statement that fandom is really about the friends you make, and acquisition of geek cred can only get you so far. One could even read the central conflict as a “gatekeeping is bad” statement if you were inclined

      On the other hand... let’s just say that parts of READY PLAYER ONE that seemed *awesome* when I read it in 2011... seemed a lot less awesome when I read it in - oh, let’s say - late 2014 or so.

      I mean, you could read the book as “Wade’s a working class hero who really is at a disadvantage to his competitors, but his ‘poor kid’ status clues him in on the location of the first key. He doesn’t win because he’s special, he wins because he learns to listen to his friends...

      But he doesn't get the toxicity of his culture one iota, and even backs it. I would normally be remiss to go back to what a 17 year old wrote, but this psychology is still front and center of his work without the bluntness: https://www.reddit.com/r/niceguys/comments/6pa11n/ready_player_one_author_ernest_clines_poem_about/ …

      Oh absolutely. When I realized that Armada wasn’t actually offering anything new/subversive to the “Last Starfighter” narrative, I started doubting Cline was really that clever or “aware” after all. And If he’s still backing that stupid poem *now*, I don’t know what I’d tell him.

      Well he's not, but I think he thinks it's about the bluntness without understanding it's the larger ethos behind the bluntness. But this happens in discussions of propriety, not the core ideas.

          So he doesn’t get that he’s simultaneously shaming sex-workers *and* fetishizing “nerd girls” *and* barely questioning the male gaze/toxicity underlying it all? I get what he was trying to say and why he thought it was subversive, but if he thinks the *tone* was the problem...
