Some people are like “The classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create the Torment Nexus is Problematic because it features the Torment Nexus”
“No but see the only reason to write about the Torment Nexus is because the author has a sexual fetish for the Torment Nexus, which is both bad and relevant somehow. People only write about stuff they want to have sex with. Literary criticism is about reading everything in the worst faith possible to try to determine what weird sexual fetish the author has and/or whether they’re trying to mind control readers into fascism or communism. The author just wrote the ‘don’t create’ bit as a flimsy smokescreen to hide how much they want to fuck the Torment Nexus, thus they’re a bad person, thus the book is bad and also Problematic and therefore devoid of value. If you see any value in it then you too must be hiding a desire to fuck the Torment Nexus (therefore proving you are a bad person) and/or you’re a secret fascist. This is how literary criticism works.”
“I’m not saying you can’t write about the Torment Nexus, just that you can’t romanticizes the Torment Nexus. You have to show it’s bad and something you shouldn’t create, otherwise you’ll train people into thinking they’re wonderful and fuckable. People are incapable of developing beliefs independent of fictional stories. Except me. I’ve never had a problematic belief in my life. Sorry the rest of you were born tainted and sinful. Just admit you want to fuck the nexus and go.”
“Okay, so maybe it’s not harmful in real life to want to fuck the Torment Nexus. It’s still weird and gross sksksksksk 💀”
“People are incapable of developing beliefs independent of fictional stories. Except me. I’ve never had a problematic belief in my life.”
that’s it that’s the logic
I really want Chuck Tingle to write: Pounded in the Butt by the Torment Nexus
