I don’t care. Intellectuals who read any sort of fiction are an attractive myth. It’s plebs all the way down until you finally reach the Harry Potter reader at the bottom.

Now fuck you I’m going to enjoy something.

That's because it is. It spends a lot of words asking "are millenials not acting 'adult' enough?" only to come to the conclusion of "I don't know."
It is also in no way /co/-related.

LOL. Not even 10 years ago rags like this couldn't even discuss highbrow comics like Maus without a sneering, supercilious tone ("BIFF BAM POW comigxz arnd't jus 4 kidz anymore!!!!1! Hurrr") but are now praising shit like Squirrel Girl, Steven Universe and Mockingbird to the skies and it's readers are marching in the streets calling themselves Dumbledore's Army. If there is a death of adulthood/maturity in American culture, people like them are THE prime example of it, not "geek culture".

This is so fucking stupid, and genuinely dehumanizing to individuals from before the 1900’s. It’s almost always a form of cultural erasure to pretend that you or your ilk is the first to invent or discover something. Humans haven’t done anything new since we started talking. And even then, language likely came before sapiens.

You know what, I retract my statement. It's not even millennials who are the problem; it's boomers trying to play the Fellow Kidz card. Just look at the amount of articles about /ourstuff/ in mainstream publications just 6 years ago versus now. It's not the culture, it's not even the SJWs getting jobs in those fields who I blame, it's boomers trying pathetically to appeal to the youth.

I don't really understand how obsession with these forms of fiction is childish but obsession with shit like sports, hunting, cars, or whatever are all perfectly fine.
At the end of the day they're both completely inconsequential to "real life" and are just boys gathering around to talk about some fake shit that entertains them but is rarely intellectually stimulating. Somehow it's just been accepted by these people that some of these personal fantasies are "normal" and some are for "nerds".

You'd think it'd be much more inspiring to say "without JK Rowling, Harry would have not existed"

I didn't say it's "childish", that's my point. It's still just an unsophisticated form of self-fulfillment and escapism, where people coat their walls in trophies and spend thousands of dollars on gear and memorabilia.

To be honest I think it depends. Getting the authors feel of the story is important, but it should not override the actual contact there It’s so different than what’s written.

Kind of like some authors (you know who they are) who retroactively try to make their stuff more appealing to the current generation.

It’s funny we actually had this debate in my English class not that long ago.

Millennials are too fixated on nostalgia and trying to hang on to their childhood for as long as possible, which is why so many of them are rapidly approaching middle age and still watch cartoons for children and collect toys. It's why there are endless reboots of old "classic" cartoons from the 80s and 90s. It's why they're all nervous wrecks who can't navigate adult life without their mommies and daddies holding their hand the whole way and why they can't control their emotions, getting worked up over literally nothing every day.

There are boomer critics who can't even appreciate legitimate classics of world cinema that deal with fantastic themes like Metropolis, Nosferatu and who sneer at franchises like OT Star Wars, but who are now putting utter shit like Fant4stic and Ghostbusters (2016) on their annual 10 best list.

I can't stand millennials, but not all of the crap in our culture can be blamed on them. Hell, the nostalgia for the 1950s didn't even begin until well after the Summer of Love when hippies became more socially accepted.

That's just critics in general. I remember when they were snobby assholes who could barely disguise their contempt for action movies or anything that isn't supposed to be a highbrow award-winning drama of the month and now they're sucking up to whatever piece of mediocre shit Disney churns out.

Millenials are still too young to have a say on what does or doesn't get a reboot/remake, and the few that are produce OC stuff like Steven Universe and Craig of the Creek. Reboot culture is Boomer trash cynically trying to court a young audience with zero real effort.

God I'm sick of millenials getting blamed for the shit their parents forced them into.
