Ruined FOREVER (Darth Wiki)/Literature: Difference between revisions

----

* Academics tend to whine that whatever books are selling more than the books they want to have people read will ruin literature FOREVER. Usually it's the fault of academia in the first place, when they write and print books only for the wealthy and privileged then complain about the unwashed masses not reading the "[[True Art]]" books. Some good examples, look at the reviews of [[True Art]] academic literary critics for [[Wilkie Collins]]' ''[[The Woman in White]]'', often considered now to be a great example of nineteenth century literature, and ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', whose reviews by the literati were not only absolutely disparaging but in many cases were by people who plainly hadn't read the book.

* It's a specialty ''du jour'' in ''[[The Hunger Games]]'' fandom. Mockingjay sucked, soandso died, Gale got the boot, Jennifer Lawrence looks like a blonde cow. It never ends.
