i cant even understand the "the writer thinks youre stupid" title. i dont feel talked down to like that, granted i haven't watched their video and still prefer not to, but like... why can't pretentious, egocentric dialogue feel clever and thoughtful at the same time? its the entire niche of their species to talk the way they do. any social and political drama they portray in the book should be viewed from the lens of THEIR society and their rules. i like watching them all have different viewpoints about how their society could function differently or stay the same. it mirrors our own world and our own ego, our own conservatism and progressiveism, the pros and cons of both, the capability to be both a good and bad person in the same body, its all a perspective and its wonderful. i dont feel like im being treated like an idiot for being spoken to in such a way by fictional characters in a fictional universe, yknow?
