Modern day nerds have become super autistic about plotholes and having a story that makes sense and is serious. This isn't neceserally a bad desire, but it fucks wizzards in the ass. There is a reason 99% of fiction nowadays has the trope where wizzards are treated like subhumans or something of the sort - its the one trope that works, and no others are really available. The only other thing is making an extra autistic magic system that makes wizzards into scientists with "eh" powers. I'm actually sorta building a fantasy setting right now, and I just decided to say "fuck it" and just have no wizzards because they don't add anything that cool on their own. So I'd say unless you want to make magic a lynchpin of your setting, just don't add it in.

I always love how the archetypal wizards were given their powers from genetic privilege, while wizards in games all studied hard in wizarding school.

I noticed this too, the other day I was reading some anime reviews and reviewers were like THE NATURE OF THIS POWER/EVENT WAS NOT EXPLAINED WHATSOEVER LAZY WRITING. I also remember a YouTuber whining years ago about Mad Max Fury Road not giving detailed background to the enemies and creatures moving on crutches in the dark.

For some reason, people don't want any mystery or sense of wonder in their media.

So I'm reading picrel, and enjoying it so far, but I was wondering if there are any analysis of its critique of yuppie culture/capitalism?

Feel free to share your thoughts regardless, it is a very enjoyable book IMO.

In addition to >>15587, I think that's just what happens when you get old and stop paying attention to trends, then after 5 or 10 years you see something in the news and it all hits you like a brick wall that you have no idea what is going on, it's all new and scary and confusing, and most people have the instinctual reaction to reject it.

It'll happen to you, too.

I used to read lots of Baudrillard, but now I find this kind of radical critique totally pointless and toothless. It's like complaining about the existence of air at this point.

But if anyone's still interested in this then I recommend checking out early Baudrillard:
>System of Objects
>Consumer Society
>For a critique of the political economy of the sign

post novel recommendations, I’ll start
The Elementary Particles is a great book, it deals with themes of social breakdown and alienation. On the downside the epilogue is fucking retarted, and the main character is a bit of a reactionary, but it makes sense in context…
