@matrix nothing new, women's lit has always been really shallow. women will defend this.
@fluffy @matrix I defend it as cheap shlock.
On the left you have a piece of art, on the right you have smut. Nothing wrong with smut- but to point to it as a guide to how the audience and author perceive relationships is, to put it lightly, a cheap shot.
Put Highschool DxD or To Love Ru on the right, the comparison becomes better. People aren't watching this shit to feel something deep and moving- they're watching it to get turned on and maybe see something feel good they won't have to think hard about later.
@cantinto @matrix art? they are both movies. Are you saying cartoons can be art but cinemography cannot?
@fluffy @matrix lol
I'm saying one is high art and the other is low art. Both of them have a message, but one is trying to say something about the human condition and one is using the human condition to sell itself.
