"I also take issue with the general idea that "dark & edgy" automatically equals "better & more mature"."

YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES. I loathe and despise this idea, and it seems to be every-fucking-where. It even infected Star Wars, which was the least dark'n'edgy big-name franchise out there. It infects EVERYTHING, especially literature from what I've seen (I read a lot. Like, a LOT a lot. It is SO DAMN HARD to find literary fiction that isn't dark and depressing and full of Bad Things happening to everyone.)

HNNNNNG. MY RAGE ABOUT LITFIC IS UNPARALLELED.

Like, okay, i get that the author wants dark & bad & scary things to happen. that's cool. i am totally down with that, in fact, i like spooky weird things.

but for god's sake, would it kill them to have a likeable main character? or just one good, genuinely nice character we can root for? or a happy ending, after much trial & struggle?

it reminds me of this time my mother & I went to see a play by Anton Chekhov (I think it was The Seagull). and i understand that it's a classic and everyone artistic loves it. but i hated it, because there was not a single likeable character in that play. by the end of it, i just wished they'd all hurry up and die already and quit whining.

I felt that way when I studied A Streetcar Named Desire. By 2/3 of the way through I was just like "They're all insufferable and I don't care what happens to them."
