@yikesal@wtflanksteak@eedaaf You have your opinion, I have mine. My opinion is if someone wants to selectively read through a book - it is still reading. Reading for fun should be a joyful experience- not dictated. People are put off by my earnestness & that’s fine but I’m just doing what your bio suggests
@kivuraw I once tried to read this fantasy book and there was several pages describing a castle. I don’t care about intricate landscape details. I just don’t. Other people love that. I love digging into someone’s experience and growing up in the castle. Not what rocks are chipped
@yikesal@wtflanksteak@eedaaf I’m not trying to sound like anything. This is how I talk and how I am. It’s not Twitter woke if every person piled on me and disagreed with me 😂 but I own my shit and I stand by what I said. People should stop trying to decide what is or isn’t reading and just let people live
@kivuraw Yep 👍 I don’t enjoy that genre. chalk it up to aphantasia or adhd or whatever but I don’t enjoy it in lit or screen media. What’s your problem?
@EgyptTheRula@wtflanksteak@eedaaf I wasn’t speaking for myself.. I was offering an alternative explanation. Everyone should just mind their own business. If some people read only dialogue- that’s their own business and nobody should care
@abitofwhimsy_@kivuraw@wtflanksteak@eedaaf This lmao. I don’t skip. But it’s nobody’s business that’s the whole point. Why do people care so much? I find it funny that people are this frazzled
@justmypipedream@abitofwhimsy_@kivuraw@wtflanksteak@eedaaf I was offering an explanation. I didn’t like the tone of the response to a benign reply. It doesn’t matter what I do. Or what anybody else does. It’s their business. Personally I don’t skip descriptions. I do avoid fantasy though (heavy descriptions)
@wtflanksteak@eedaaf What an unkind response to someone’s sincere reply. It’s none of your business to dictate what reading/ writing is or is not. Have you ever heard of aphantasia? Reading heavily descriptive writing can be immensely difficult without seeing it like others- who read it seamlessly
@naeticus @BeckettUnite Funny thing is, you mindlessly listen to baseless facts and spew them like an expert. Where do you get your information from? I get mind from central statistics office. Worst we survived is a genocide killing 1 million of us and displacing many more - similar to what Israel does
@MByrne85911 @BeckettUnite you think allowing israel to operate with impunity will be good for Ireland? Their atrocities have already washed up on our shores. If we had stopped them- Iran, Lebanon wouldn’t have happened. All resulting in the fuel crises in? Ireland. We’re part of the global community Myles
@naeticus @BeckettUnite Amongst them are a PhD researcher with multiple TedX talks completed, a physician, a web developer. Unsure of what the non-Irish occupations are. Mind your own business keyboard warrior.
Molly is a bit of an actor but a bit over the top the hate she’s getting. Jess is quite nasty imo. Tyrique is just too funny. Ella is sheer headloss but none of that can be compared to Luca on steroids cause this Mitchell fella is unhinged and bordering on dangerous #LoveIsland
