No, it's not. People are allowed to enjoy things in a way that you don't enjoy them. That's my point. Are you competing in some kind of "out pretentious the other guy" contest?

That's too bad. You'd clean up. There are more ways than one to enjoy absolutely everything. There is more than one way to draw a picture. There is more than one way to enjoy a movie. There is more than one way to enjoy a book. It's not a waste of time to do something that they enjoy just because you wouldn't enjoy it that way. To ask, "Why even read?" Is pretentious and absurd.

Yes. The ever so offensive "let people enjoy things" shouldn't go unpunished, lmao.
