I think his writing is really annoying. Like, that scene in Our Fault in the Stars where the protagonists make out in Anne Frank's house and people applaud them still cracks me the fuck up with its stupidity especially the line "she would probably like nothing more than for her home to have become a place where the young and irreparably broken sink into love." ANNE FRANK WOULD NOT GIVE A SINGLE SHIT THAT TWO TEENAGERS ARE MACKING IN HER HOUSE

I do like a lot of the youtube videos that he and his brother put out though, so that puts him a little bit more in my good graces

Always attribute things like this to stupidity rather than malice.

I don't in any way think Green was trying to tarnish Anne Frank or downplay her. I think he was trying to be ~profound~ and just ended up looking idiotic.

I don't hate him with the intensity of a thousand fiery suns, but I never really saw what the fuss was all about, regarding his works. I was meh about "The Fault is in Our Stars," meh about "Looking for Alaska," hated, hated "Paper Houses," and couldn't finish "An Abundance of Katherines." He's just too in love with the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope. He claims he's deconstructing it, but if that's the case, he does a terrible job at it. Unless deconstructing now means "playing it completely straight with no sense of irony and no one pointing out what an awful person said MPDG is." I swear I've never been in favor of violence against women but the only reason I made it to the end of "Paper Houses" was because I was hoping someone would smack Margo and call her on her bullshit. The way the book is written, we're supposed to find her lying and vandalism and destructive behavior funny and charming, but I kept thinking of her parents and all the people who have to clean up after her shit.

na

I'm not in favor of violence again anyone but, yeah, Margo needed to be slapped. What a wretched character

Nah, Anne Frank probably would think that was romantic. People pedestal her and forget that she was a normal girl who thought about those kinds of things.

Yeah. There was a lot in her diary, even after they were in hiding, about that one guy she liked.

She was a teenager and had teenage feelings. And she had no idea at the time how important she and her diary would be, because how could she? She'd probably be mortified at everyone reading it.

I actually don't think it's right how a lot of people make her out to be some kind of hero. the whole point is that she was just like any other girl of that age.

But I don't think it was a good idea on John Green's part to write that scene. I don't like it when writers make those kinds of scenes in general. They feel very exploitative.
