      Folks, it must be said. If you decide to read a book that is, say, 55 years old, and act SHOCKED! SHOCKED! that its themes and characterizations don't conform to today's accepted social mores... welp, I don't know what to tell you. I mean... /1

      I’m assuming this is directed at me reading Dune, and I’m aware of when it was written. Am I expecting it to conform perfectly to 2020 morals? No! Am I still allowed to laugh about it, and also feel a bit salty about how certain of its flaws are still lauded as great? Yup!

      This was not directed specifically at you, I promise, but at people in general (I see it in booktube especially) making blanket dismissals of "classic" novels. Naturally, MOST older work doesn't hold up in the details, and easy to roll your eyes at. But... /1

      ...I simply meant to point out, EXPECT problematic content. I think a lot of readers without much exposure to older work don't know yet just HOW different people thought, and wrote about the world, 40-50-60 years ago. That's all. /2

      Oh, I was expecting it; hence the decision to livetweet. But it’s still startling to encounter in some ways, like the difference between knowing drunk brawls happen and watching one unfold in front of you.

      Right. Especially queercoding of villains, which has existed FOREVER. Even back when you couldn't be overt about it, so they had to make the gay villain a "dandy".

      Exactly. Just, almost every adjective used in that first Harkonnen scene is geared to emphasise that These Are Bad And Effete Men, over and over.

          I'm keen to see Stellan Skarsgard's take on the character, which I understand eliminates all that & focuses on his political machinations. Dune I think is an example of the kind of classic whose central story is good enough its... issues can be updated without losing the whole.

          Yeah, that’s my impression so far. It’s got good bones under all the weirdness.
