Yawn, how many articles before we admit that rp1 is just being used as a mirror to our dark timeline. Terrible book, but honestly this is just keeping it in the Zeitgeist. I've seen 100 takes on how is terrible.

You're so smart and better than everyone! Yeah, carefully brilliant takes that bring up how something is actually insidious (in a myriad of different ways) don't matter cause it's just about worth judgements of whether it's bad or good!

Here's a tip: it starts with not being a casual asshole who dismisses nuance as sameness, and listening for the difference beyond your yawning, monstrous indifference. Do better.

Look, it's not about good or bad, it's about empathy and time. The book isn't that special. There is a ton of media to be disconstructed. This take says zero new. And don't you dare throw Bojack at me and think you are clever. I didn't come after you personally.

You are not worth my time and I have no idea why I even tried before. Get your shit together, because this is the damn story of your life.

And yes, I understand this is a change in my tenor. But it's 2018 and I'm just not putting up with this kinda crap in my life anymore.
