    Do you think comics are inferior to opera? Do you think fantasy books are inferior to symphonies? Do you think point-and-click games are inferior to still life paintings?

    Or do you just think art is useless? Or worse, detrimental to the human experience?

    I’m honestly asking.

      I have other things to worry about other than Video games, Super Heros, Game of Thrones, and star wars.

      i like video games, i like horror novels. i wont make them a passion though

      people who want to fart in movie seats while watching deadpool are fine with me. i just do not like it myself

        Man the way I see it, the whole purpose of communism is to free the individual to fully live our lives. To learn, create and play.

        Those are the things that make humanity, and being a human, awesome. Without those things our lives are just empty survival.

        And I just think how you view “pop culture” is a bit due to elitism (not yours per se, systemically), and how we view things made “for the masses” to be low quality and to have no worth.

        I see all art after the revolution being popular art. All culture being pop culture.

        When you mention “video games”, “super heroes”, and IPs, you are not seeing the pop culture, you are seeing the capitalism.

        And art is not something we “worry” about. It’s what makes all the worrying of life matter.
