I know it's not a popular take, but I don't like Poe or Hawthorne. I always felt like their shallow exploration of death/edgy topics really only appealed to the immature or unintelligent reader.
I can see their work on a shelf between The Nightmare Before Christmas and a Dashboard Confessional CD- maybe a Jr High textbook as well.
I wouldn't use them as an example.
Im sure they can't hold a candle to your own peerless prose, king.
It's unpopular because instead of just saying you don't like them or personally think they lack depth you go straight to insulting their readers and fans.
I don't like them, but they're also bad and unintelligent. Those are objective. Sorry if someone not liking a vapid old guys who can't write their way out of a paper bag makes you feel attacked.
That's subjective not objective...
No. It's objective. Objectively they are unimpressive. "Well that's just your opinion man" isn't a defence.
You clearly don't know what the words mean. Someone is being impressed or unimpressed.
Well, the problem isn't that your take is unpopular, it's that it's confusing. You say they only appeal to the unintelligent or immature but you also say you don't like them. I'm sure you can see the contradiction.
Oh no. Some terminally online brainrot poster wants to be a prick. Lol. You're such a loser.
You're immune to irony. It's impressive.
It looks like there are some perks to being so far up ones own arse after all. His bum cheeks muffle all sorts of things.
