A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

sometimes when i get annoyed about people using AI for everything, I just remember "at least I will be able to think for myself in a decade and not be a zombie" and that gets me through the day

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

I am once again begging folks to understand the difference between ‘I don’t like this’ and ‘Nobody likes this’.
You are not the main character of the world. Readers and authors have different tastes. You are not the arbiter of what authors should and should not put into books.

"fiction normalizes—" idk abt any of that but I think social media has normalized absolutely batshit behavior and social conventions that are inconceivable to anyone that is actually well-balanced and thriving in the real world and that's a bigger problem than fiction will ever be
