I for sure see the links between SoT and Wheel of Time. I started seeing a lot of things lifted after reading both. But I still find myself liking both for different reasons. I dunno, I've accepted that I do like some things that are generally viewed as "bad" and I've come to terms with it haha.

Yeah but some things are bad because they are deliberately trying to make you bad too

[-] Lightor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Maybe. But I think it matters of entertainment it's not as evil as that. Sure engaging with bad media might fuel them to repeat that behavior, but IMO if it harms no one it's not an issue. Like for example I've read the SoT series a few times and I'm not a Marxist or what have you.

Ahh I think you've misunderstood.
He's a raging, obnoxious capitalist who thinks poor people are poor because they don't try.

Haha that's how much I missed it I guess. Well I do appreciate you clarifying that, I never got a good, concise answer about what people we're hating on it for.
