Well sorry about that. I thought I presented it more as me problem than you but obviously I wasn't clear enough (or probably should've just said nothing).

Lmao why? It's not like they'd be in it for the reading or would care about "book snobbery" if all they care about is the concepts.

This isn't same as reading vs audiobooks. Stop being so defensive over nothing.

Weird to juxtapose your thing with crack but okay. And never say never, right? I just might.

Well good for you, but this feels like you're insecure about people judging you for not reading a book. I don't know why else you'd be so up in my ass.

I also said that I see the appeal even if it bothers me but fine have it your way.

Thanks for that. I know I'm being a bit of an asshat. This just wounds my inner writer (who I'm trying to assure that it's not that big of a deal even in my own comment).

They did in another comment.

Jeez, okay. You could've just said that after the "irk". It's not like you were interested in my explanation.

Answered on the other comment.

Because part for me about consuming media is having the artist's intent come through and exploring the ideas they put on the paper, slow or fast buildup and character development etc. When you have it summarized you really can't catch it all.

That being said I still don't think this is a bad thing, it's just my personal problem. Any artist should appreciate their art being consumed at any level and if the hooks are good enough summarization like this might even turn the viewer into a reader.

I have to admit that you admission of not having the room in your life for reading books but enjoying their concepts summarized irks me, but yeah I see the appeal.

The divide between those who eat this bullshit and those who were responsibly raised will be fucking wild. Like think about that one dude in your life that hadn't heard about 'X', a thing that's common knowledge, and how baffling that was but now it's nonstop bafflement with a certain percentage of population.
