Why there is such a stigma against escapist works ?
>>25562511Either people wanting you to read the literary equivalent of oscar bait or "my escapism good, your escapism bad"
>>25562511Escapism isn't the problem.Fiction is.
>>25562511There isn't.
>>25562511Because any hack can write them. We all have an imagination.
>>25562524Escapism without fiction is just literal cope
>>25562524Elaborate
>>25562511there isn't, miserable people want you to be miserable too
>>25564114No.
we tried the "escapism isn't that bad" experiment and all it produced were weebs and neckbeards and other variants of mindless cattle
>>25562511You can have an ok life alone but you cannot have a good life without other people. Escapism means pulling back from that arrangement. A bit of it is harmless but too much of it, which isn't very much of it by the way, is a sign of someone who is taking out of the pot and not putting back in. Picture someone who loves escapist content. Are you also picturing a NEET dragging his family down like a brick tied around their neck? Probably you should be.

Because they're tailored for losers who can't deal with reality.
