Explain your opinion

You're confusing the symptom for the cause. The people needed to be previously damaged in order for those things to become popular.

What damaged them?

Harry Potter is a children's book series for children and asoiaf is genre fiction. If this is damaging the western thought and literature then it is self inflicted. This shit comes with a warning label. Now I've not read HP but I've read and honestly enjoyed asoiaf for what it is, and it's not bad for that. I remember reading Game of Thrones at around the same time as I read Spinoza's Ethics and the Iliad. I have seen all the HP films, my wife is a massive fan and also she's a Hufflepuff.

Capitalism, consumerism.

>Harry Potter,
these books inspired tons of kids to read though, which is an objectively good thing.

>It's not bad for that.
Martin's characters have mono dimensional and random behavioral patterns, their actions are not prepared in the script, they delve into erratic petty politics and schemes to provoke and impress the reader in a world that dragons existed and exist and in a world that shadows kill people from afar and magical frost themed outsiders threaten the lands. How can that make sense? Why would you care about taxes and who your psychopath son will marry in his reign when there are priests who raise the dead and assassins who take whatever form they want in order to kill whomever they want, etc? This is an "art" that poses as pseudo realistic, but in truth is an undecided mix of high fantasy, medieval pseudo realism, porn, epic parody and Martin's personal complex about how cruel the world is. The problem with his art is, that it does not make sense and it does not have cohesion and a robust core like Tolkiens art did. He fails because he has not decided on what the core of his work is. Hell, he doesn't even have a main story. Oh, and by the way, he needs to lose the RR's from his middle name. It's embarrassing.

Fuck off Peterson-babbies

>>The state of your grammar.
How does any book do any harm if it teaches the reader comprehension, vocabulary and selflessness? You just think you're better than these writers but the sad and awful truth you aren't admitting to yourself when you look at the mirror for that half second before you leave for your shitty menial job is you aren't. They are better than you.

I dislike Peterson and hate cultural Marxism, come at me.

Of course Tolkien is better, but that is not in question. For me, I think Gurm's characters are motivated by what they know is real; they mostly don't know all of those things you mentioned are really real. So they only act from their own point of view. Only the reader has all the confirmation of reality, about the dragons , others, faceless men, shadow babies etc. Anyway it's fine if you don't like asoiaf but how has it damaged western thought and literature in your estimation? Again, I'm not arguing that it has or has not, just curious about what other people think.

anything aristotle

being this new desu

Jewish degeneracy in all its forms (marxism, pornography, communism etc.)

The Lord of the Rings.

Still a symptom

Macintyre is Sadlercore, not Petershit.

Television

We all know the answer.

>marxism, pornography, communism etc.
That and general cultural decadence.

We are living in a post-shame world, what good can come of that?

Merely a symptom of late stage capitalism.
