YES! I've been oddly furious over the last week about this phenomenon - the comparisons to Jordan Peterson are particularly grating. Could it be just as simple as people feel guilty that they don't want to get rid of their stuff and lash out?
Tbh I think it’s a combo of needing to prove they’re clever for liking books + seeing ONE person’s misunderstanding of ONE quote + the hot take vortex we live in

Similar perhaps to the compulsive need to shit on e-readers (I'm a REAL reader! The pages! The smell!). Fair enough, if you have the space and don't have to move every six months...

Space was a massive thing in my head! I’m like, most of us live in cramped tiny flats? And have to move constantly because of the millennial hellscape we live in? Congrats if you can afford to transport all of your books across the country but don’t act superior about it?
