to elaborate on that a bit more clearly, ive been really feeling the pressure of like. media as talking point lately. how increasingly it feels the push of many things is less, "read or watch or play this to experience it," but rather "read or watch or play this, to say that you experienced it." art as a disposable commodity for an increasingly wide-scope keeping up with the joneses. and that's all i can see in really griping about how expensive the switch 2 stuff is. like, there's such a wide bank of video games as an art form. if they never made another you could play game all of your life for free. so why is it so bad the new ones are expensive on launch? because their function is not to be understood as a work but as a checklist.

Ursula K. Le Guin's 1969 novel The Left Hand of Darkness was a big deal in feminist science fiction for being one of the first widely popular and critically acclaimed works to do cool shit with sex and gender (which was certainly nothing new, but previous such works had rarely "taken off" the way LHoD did). It was criticized for referring to the genderfluid characters with the indefinite "he," which was a la mode in style guides at the time, instead of using alternating or gender-neutral pronouns. In time Le Guin came to agree with this criticism; she considered her decision not to take things further one of her biggest literary regrets, stating that "I am haunted and bedeviled by the matter of the pronouns."
I tell you this only because the phrase "I am haunted and bedeviled by the matter of the pronouns" is one I think about a lot.
