      i do cringe a little every time i accidentally become aware of how many people are consuming it without knowing it's bad for them though

      I guess? I mean, god knows I read through a shit ton of Ed Greenwood and Bob Salvatore pulp crap as a kid but I don't think it was "bad for me". It didn't prevent me from reading actually good books later. Cultivated the pleasure of reading so I would actually do that.

      i mean i ain't got no high horse or nothin', i've read plenty of Greenwood and Salvatore but even more Piers Anthony. there's a cornpone thread in these kinds of things that i do think fucks people up if they become dependent on it, though, like that's how you get Comicsgate ppl

      I don't follow. Reading a book as a kid will make you into an uncharitable reader as an adult with political grievances and an ax to grind on Facebook or something? hwat?

      I think more of a thing where a reading diet consisting solely of D&D tie-ins constrains intellectual development and leaves one open to regarding challenges to that universe as attacks on one's own identity. Which is the core of goobergrape.

      well that's a pretty sad outcome. hard to reason about counterfactuals, but if you're talking about a person with that degree of incuriosity and ego fragility, it's not the pulp fantasy novels that's fucking up their emotional and intellectual development.

      I'd agree it's a proximate, not a root, cause, but *gestures broadly all around* these folk ain't in short supply.

      I really think the bigger problem is just that these people aren't correctly ignored and are now plugged in to the grievance-industrial complex like everyone else in the god damn world. there's always shitty people who won't shut up with their tedious complaints. just ignore.

      I'm inclined to synthesize this and Chaos' take: people who are treated as if they are the most important thing by society will prey on the easy source of food (by which I mean attention).https://twitter.com/chaosprime/status/996100724466561024 …

      reading dozens of books that pervasively flatter you in ways you don't notice (because everything you read does it) can, if you get real used to it, cause you to become shocked and angered by exposure to books that unaccountably fail to flatter you

      Replying to @AmbrosialArts @danlistensto and

      A book can prime you for this kind of behavior but probably is not sufficient on its own. qv. people who can find a link between video games and violence but mostly in people who are already risk factors for violence e.g. no friends, abusive home, etc. reality sure is polycausal
