-the need for escapism in works but I see "let me enjoy things!!!" as a justification without considering the ideas that a work promotes. thinking about how one of the best-selling YA series right now straight up has a fantasy n@zi romance uncritically promoted to teenagers as well and it's just. Hm

that sounds spot on. something i find quite sad is an inability for a lot of writers and readers to engage with the implications of a work on a deeper level, and that nothing can be completely divorced from the context of when it was written and the ideas the author holds. I understand-

until you wrote the follow-up i could think of several books this could be referring to, why is this a thing
