I can be a monarchist for 243 minutes at a time (length of LotR Two Towers extended addition) and all the rest of my life I consider treating people's loyalty as an inheritable object abhorrent. I fucking hate monarchies. Except Theoden King <3

So I feel ya.

Same here.

No I get it, a concept can be fun in a fictional sense but suck irl. I enjoy fantasy monarchies but I consider real world ones to be beyond antiquated, though I do find reading about the history of them interesting in general. Royal families were so messy man.

In a similar boat. I know I will never be anywhere near rich or even "upper middle class", but there is enjoyment in seeing such opulence on display. It's also...cathartic(?) to see that even with wealth and all the things and being around so much beauty and abundance we are all humans experiencing life. Not to say I feel sad about rich people's sad wittle mew-mew feelings, but that they're not above pettiness or that they don't have to struggle with dealing with other people and their own feelings.

And it can just be enjoyable to watch a world in which I know I will never experience.

But I also enjoy watching/reading stories about regular working class people's lives too. I like to know about a lot of people's lives. It's interesting to see where different communities intersect and where they diverge.

I agree on all of your points.

Succession is my favorite show ever, and the characters' lives are actually really kind of terrible and they're huge assholes.

So well written, though!

It would also be good if they were poor, but the stakes are part of the plot.

I hate this idea spreading around that if you find it entertaining in fiction, then you must absolutely want it in real life.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. It's part of the ridiculous idea that the media you consume is some form of activism when it's not. People get all self-righteous that they're being so forward-thinking and awesome just by consuming the "right" kind of media, so therefore the people who consume the "wrong" kind of media are bad.

[(Anonymous)]

Yup. It's really silly. You see this a lot online, where some people seem to think that any reference to a thing is an endorsement of that thing. What was that book awhile back where the main character started out being prejudiced against a different race of elves or something, and people immediately shat on the author because RACIST but then if they had kept reading, they'd see that the character was young and had been raised to believe that these elves were bad but she experienced more life and was around these elves and learned that it wasn't true? Literally her character development was her finding out that this prejudice was bad and growing past it. But people didn't have the common sense to keep reading and see what happened.....it's sad. Also see the book written by an Asian woman who was born in Asia and wrote a fiction novel that had slavery similar to how it existed in Asia and was roasted because it didn't match up to how slavery happened in the US. Because obviously, the US is the only place in the world that has ever had slaves.

Same. I hate that OP had to make that disclaimer too!!

[volkameria]

Yeah, OP, it's totally fine to enjoy those kinds of stories!

[(Anonymous)]

Same here. It's so obnoxious and exhausting. It reminds me a lot of Victorian morality where everything women do must either be improving for them in some way or for someone else's benefit. Even when they are on their own time doing something for themselves, like participating in fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

I like reading about rich people, too, and I think this is why soap operas were always so popular with the mid and lower classes in America. I mean, the obvious upfront appeal is that they don't HAVE to work, so you have a whole cast of characters with the leisure time to get into scandalous drama amongst themselves.

(But you probably shouldn't use the word "bootstrap" in progressive-leaning forums like this because even being an immigrant will not excuse the use of such a blasphemous term in progressive ideology.)

[(Anonymous)]

Soap operas are cathartic because the characters are rich and beautiful and still have worse problems than most of us!

[(Anonymous)]

You do you, OP. Read whatever or whomever you like.
