I used to wonder how seemingly everyone in fandom was an Austen fan, especially P&P. I forced myself through all of her boring work and endured a couple movie adaptations. And I discovered that most people in fandom don’t know anything about Austen’s works except one or two movie adaptations or maybe also read P&P. But you’ll see some analysis about it that makes the commenter look very informed but if you Google their exact words you’ll find they just ripped that off someone else.

That’s not to say no one loves her work or that novel in particular. And we have some überfans here in FS that can kind of make you think more people love her/the novel than is representative of fandom as a whole.

It’s just one of those things that so many people thought they were required to love, likely because fandom has a large chunk of academia embedded.

It’s perfectly ok not to like P&P, you don’t even have to like Austen. The only issue I have is the people who assume everyone adores Austen and never reads anything else and lives to talk about the book and dream of a perfect film adaptation. Usually those are the people who are only pretending anyway but we do have one true fan here in FS who is like this, but they’re pretty easy to ignore.

Wtf is this weird gate keeping of liking P&P

Just because it annoys you that lots of people like something you don't doesn't mean you need to invent a system of dividing 'real' fans from fake ones

It's okay for people to really like something and not be able to write an academic essay on it, okay
